Description

Orthodontic toothbrush

Technical Field

The application relates to the field of articles for daily use, in particular to an orthodontic tooth brush.

Background

Along with the rapid development of social economy, people pay more and more attention to oral health, and especially the current people pay more and more attention to beauty, so the number of people with orthodontic function is larger and larger. When the appliance is worn, the environment of the oral cavity, especially the environment of the teeth and periodontal tissues, is changed. If these changes are overlooked in orthodontic treatment without active prevention and treatment, some undesirable problems such as enamel demineralization, caries and periodontal tissue inflammation may occur. If positive prevention measures are taken in the orthodontic treatment process and the patient is carefully matched, the problems can be completely avoided.

The manifestations of enamel demineralization in orthodontic patients are: irregularly shaped chalky stains can occur on the labial (buccal) surfaces of teeth, which is enamel demineralization, an early carious enamel. When demineralization is severe, the enamel surface peels off, and significant carious lesions appear. Dental caries is caused by the attachment of bacteria on the tooth surface to form dental plaque, which leads to the demineralization and the decomposition of organic matters of the tooth. Plaque and calculus are the major causes of gingivitis and periodontitis. After the orthodontic patient is bonded with the bracket, the bracket wings can affect the cleanness of the oral cavity, so that food residues are remained, and a great amount of bacteria breeding and dental calculus formation are caused. If the stimulus exists for a long time, inflammation of gingiva is caused, gingival swelling and bleeding appear, periodontitis is even further developed, and attachment loss and alveolar bone resorption appear. The research shows that: the prevalence of enamel demineralization in orthodontic patients is as high as 50% to 60% without any intervention; gingivitis occurs in more than half of all adolescent patients during orthodontic treatment, and in about 10% of patients periodontal tissue destruction occurs. Plaque control is the most effective method for preventing enamel demineralization and periodontal disease in orthodontic treatment.

Toothbrushes on the market are basically divided into two types: firstly, the bristles of the common toothbrush are parallel and level or in a microwave wave shape, and for an orthodontics patient, the bristles are difficult to clean to the tooth surface, the lower part of the bracket wing and a dark corner formed by the bracket and the tooth surface; and secondly, the two outer sides of the toothbrush bristles are parallel and level, and the inner side bristles are shorter than the outer side bristles, so that the toothbrush can touch the tooth surface of an orthodontics patient, but the toothbrush is not easy to clean the lower part of the bracket wing and the dark angle formed by the bracket and the tooth surface.

In the orthodontic process, the fixed appliance bracket is used and is provided with double wings or single wings, and bristles of a conventional toothbrush are difficult to enter the lower part of the bracket wings and a dark corner formed by the bracket and a tooth surface, so that food residues and bacteria are easy to accumulate at the position to form dental plaque. Orthodontic patients have difficulty in effectively self-cleaning with conventional toothbrushes, seriously hampering their daily plaque control, and adversely affecting their oral health and orthodontic effectiveness. Therefore, it is necessary to design a special toothbrush which can effectively remove dental plaque in the oral cavity of orthodontic patients.
