Description

Wash storage box

Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of tooth holder cleaning devices, in particular to a cleaning storage box.

Background

The aesthetic appearance of teeth is an increasingly attractive problem, and for all orthodontic treatment patients, whether fixed or invisible bracket-less, holders are worn for two years or more after the treatment is completed to maintain the efficacy. The holder worn by almost all today is a transparent polymer material film that wraps around all the teeth of the upper and lower jaws, respectively. For the invisible correction patient, the correction device is made of special high polymer materials and has certain elasticity, and the transparency of the invisible correction patient also ensures that the daily social contact of the wearer is not influenced.

Whether the retainer or the invisible dental mouthpiece or a partial denture can be self-fitted and worn every day. When the user faces to eating, the retainer and the invisible dental mouthpiece are required to be taken down and put into the storage box, and the retainer or the invisible dental mouthpiece is required to be put back into the oral cavity as soon as possible after eating, so that the effect of the retainer or the invisible dental mouthpiece is ensured. Because the retainer and the invisible dental floss are transparent and worn in the mouth for a long time, stains such as dental plaque, food soft dirt and the like are inevitably stained on the dental floss, the current solution is generally that the dental floss is washed by clean water or a toothbrush is brushed, if the dental floss is not washed in time, the dental floss is not easy to clean, and the attractiveness of the dental floss is affected. However, in many cases, the eating environment may be unfavorable for cleaning the dental floss at any time, the toothbrush is inconvenient to carry, and the existing holder or the storage box of the invisible dental floss does not have the cleaning function. During the time from removal of the mouthpiece to donning of the mouthpiece, the patient may have no way to or consciously clean the mouthpiece. There is therefore an urgent need for a cleaning box that can clean a manipulator or a dental prosthesis.
