The specific embodiment
In subsequent descriptions, will be example discussion the present invention with the toothbrush, but the present invention can adopt other dental treatment form that only comprises tissue cleanser.In addition, need to understand, can use other embodiment and can carry out structural and functional modifications in the situation that does not break away from the scope of the invention.
Fig. 1-Fig. 7 shows a kind of dental treatment (for example toothbrush) 100, and it has brush holder 103 and can be used for cleaning teeth and the brush 105 of mouthful interior soft tissue (for example, tongue, the inner surface of cheek, lip or gum).Brush holder 103 is set is used to make the user to catch and handle toothbrush easily, and can form by many difformities and structure.Although brush will be wider than the neck of brush holder usually, brush can be that the simple of brush holder extended or contraction continuously in some structure.In preferred structure, brush 105 has first 106 (Fig. 5 and Fig. 6) of supports tooth cleaning element 107 and second 108 (Fig. 2 and Fig. 3) of supporting tissue cleaning device 300.First and second 106,108 opposite sides that are preferably placed at brush 105.But, tissue cleanser 300 can be installed in other places, for example the near-end 104 of brush holder 103.Tissue cleanser 300 or part cleaning device can also be positioned on the peripheral sidewall surface 101 of brush 105 or than illustrated near-end 104 to brush holder 103 and further extend.
The elastomeric material of tissue cleanser 300 can be any biocompatible elastomeric material that is applicable to oral hygiene apparatuses.For optimum reelability quality and cleaning effect are provided, the hardness property of elastomeric material is preferably between Durometer A hardness 8 to A25.As an example, a kind of preferred elastomeric material is the styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene block copolymer (SEBS) that GLS Corp. produces.But, can use within the SEBS material of other manufacturer or the above-mentioned hardness range or other material in addition.
Thisly organize counterpart 303 to be designed to the main source of halitosis among the obvious reduction crowd and improve health.Fritter 303 can be removed microbiologic population and other little bits of soft tissue surfaces in tongue and other mouthful.Tongue forms the bacterium covering especially easily, and the bacterium covering is known for the biology that produces halitosis and little bits provide environment.Can find this microbiologic population in the depression between the most of regional tongue mastoid process of tongue upper surface and along soft tissue surfaces in other mouthful.When cooperating with tongue surface or when tongue surface promotes, for example elastomeric tissue cleanser 300 fritters 303 are with in soft tissue cooperates the depression that arrives the adjacent tongue mastoid process of tongue simultaneously downwards gently.The elastic construction of tissue cleanser 300 can also make the natural contour motion on 301 bead cavity tissue surfaces, bottom surface (for example, user's tongue, cheek, lip and gum).In addition, soft fritter 303 can be with the mode deflection of needs, so that cross and clean fritter along the interior soft tissue surfaces of the mouth that moves.
