Abstract
A method (800) for adjusting a user's oral care routine by an oral care device (10) based on interproximal spacing, the method including the steps of: (i) obtaining (820), using the oral care device, information about an interproximal space (66) in the user's mouth; and (ii) automatically adjusting (850), based on the obtained information, a parameter of the oral care device, wherein the dynamic adjustment is configured to improve oral care of the interproximal space.
Claims14
A method for adjusting a user's oral care routine by an oral care device based on interproximal spacing, the method comprising the steps of:
- measuring, using the oral care device, a size of one or more interproximal spaces within a user's mouth;
- and
- dynamically adjusting a volume of fluid delivered to the one or more interproximal spaces by increasing or decreasing the volume of fluid based on the measured size of the one or more interproximal spaces.
An oral care device configured to automatically and dynamically adjust a cleaning parameter of the oral care device based on a size of one or more interproximal spaces within a user's mouth, the device comprising a sensing and actuation mechanism configured to:
- (i) measure the size of an interproximal space in the user's mouth;
- and (ii) automatically adjust, based on the measured size of the one or more interproximal spaces, a volume of fluid delivered to the one or more interproximal spaces of the oral care device, by increasing or decreasing the volume of fluid.
