Abstract
The present invention describes a method for a U-shaped teeth brush device having a conformable shape adjusting U-shaped teethbrush module and one or more individual tooth brushes coupled to the power drive mechanism, each brush having a sensor, piezoelectric crystal and transducer and each tooth brush having a block anchor coupled to the power drive, under smart controls, an electronic control system for sensing individual tooth pressure and controlling motor transmission of vibration to prior positioned brushes, whereby a users unique mouth features can be accounted for by adjusting U-shape distal ends to fit through the users mouth and align with users teeth arch for programmatically brushing more than one tooth simultaneously.
Claims20
A teeth cleaning apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
- an arched mouth portion configured to conform to a user's dental arch;
- a movable brush including a bristle substrate having two or more planes, each plane having a plurality of bristles, and being disposed within the arched mouth portion, the movable brush configured to move to a first position to clean a first tooth of the user, and move to a second position to clean a second tooth of the user;
- and
- a transmission track located within the arched mouth portion, wherein the transmission track facilitates a back-and-forth motion of the movable brush.
A teeth cleaning apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
- an arched mouth portion configured to conform to a user's dental arch;
- a movable brush including a bristle substrate having two or more planes, each plane having a plurality of bristles, and being disposed within the arched mouth portion, the movable brush configured to:
- move to a first position within a concavity of the arched mouth portion to clean a first tooth of the user by performing a back-and-forth motion at the first position;
- move to a second position within the concavity of the arched mouth portion to clean a second tooth of the user by performing the back-and-forth motion at the second position;
- and
- the moving translating the movable brush along a path of a transmission track in the arched mouth portion from the first position at the first tooth, to the second position at the second tooth;
- and
- the transmission track that facilitates the back-and-forth motion of the movable brush.
