Abstract
A multi-tooth-surface brushing device for improving cleaning capacity by maximizing bristle contact with the lingual, the vestibular and the occlusal tooth surfaces simultaneously throughout the entire brushing process.
Claims7
A multi-tooth-surface brushing device for brushing a plurality of tooth surfaces simultaneously comprising:
- (a) a handle having a head;
- and
- (b) at least two opposing brushes pivotably mounted on said head so that when a user's vestibular tooth surface contacts a first of said two opposing brushes, said first brush aligns with a vestibular-curvature and when a user's lingual tooth surface contacts a second of said two opposing brushes, said second brush aligns with a lingual-curvature.
A method for brushing vestibular and lingual tooth surfaces simultaneously by way of a toothbrush including a handle and a head having least two opposing brushes pivotably mounted on said head so that when a user's teeth are in contact with a brushing surface of each of said opposing brushes, each of said two opposing brushes independently aligns with contours of tooth surfaces in a dental arch comprising bringing said brushing surfaces of said at least two opposing brushes in contact with vestibular and lingual tooth surfaces so that said toothbrushes independently align with contours of the tooth surfaces in the dental arch.
A method for assembling a multi-tooth-surface brushing device having two opposing brushes for brushing vestibular and lingual tooth surfaces simultaneously comprising:
- (a) providing a toothbrush handle including a head, said head having two pins rigidly attached for pivotal mounting of the two opposing brushes, each pin including at least one flange for securing each of said brushes to one of said two pins;
- (b) providing two brushes, each of said brushes including a bristle support having a bore of a diameter greater than a diameter of said pins, said bore including at least one annular groove disposed in a wall of said bore corresponding to said at least one flange;
- and
- (c) inserting each one of said two pins into said bore disposed in each of said brushes so that said at least one flange is seated in said at least one annular groove thereby enabling independent rotation of each of said brushes held securely on said pins.
