Estimating the term…
A method for producing a mouthpiece toothbrush is provided, in which at least one dental arch of the patient for whom the toothbrush is intended is scanned to generate scan data, or an impression of the dental arch is made. Based on the scan data or the then digitised impression, the dental arch space occupied by the dental arch is recorded. A bristle space is constructed around the at least one dental arch, and a toothbrush moulded piece is calculated, the surface of which facing the dental arch is determined by the dental arch space plus the bristle space. The surface is covered with a bristle carpet.
A method for manufacturing a mouthpiece toothbrush comprising scanning at least one dental arch or an impression of the dental arch of a patient to generate scan data, wherein the dental arch includes teeth and gingiva, based on the scan data, detecting a dental arch space occupied by the dental arch, constructing a bristle space, around the at least one dental arch, calculating a size and shape of a toothbrush moulded piece having a facing surface configured to face the dental arch determined by the dental arch space and the bristle space, physically forming the moulded piece having a teeth region and a gingiva region, and covering the facing surface of the moulded piece with a bristle carpet, wherein the teeth region has two opposing teeth inner surfaces, the gingiva region has two opposing inner gingiva surfaces;
