description

The invention relates to a device for caring for the oral cavity and teeth and for massaging the gums.

It is well known that toothbrushes and toothbrushes are often insufficient for the care of the oral cavity and teeth Toothpastes should be used because food residues are often between the teeth as well as between the teeth and lag behind the gums. These residues cannot be completely removed by the toothbrush will. In addition, toothbrushes can damage the gums if they touch them too hard.

There are many ways to overcome these disadvantages of devices have been proposed. These devices have the common feature that they have an electric motor to compress water and expel it under a relatively high pressure through the smallest of holes. These smallest holes are drilled into fixed devices that are introduced into the oral cavity or with are provided with a handle, whereby these can be gripped and operated by hand. That way you can very Fine jets of pressurized water are directed between the teeth to wash away the leftover food. Farther these jets of water can be directed against the gums in order to massage them thoroughly, whereby the blood circulation is improved and accelerated. It an improvement in prophylaxis and a reduction in gingivitis is therefore achieved.

The known devices have the disadvantage that they are very expensive, which is particularly due to the need for a water compressor to use is due. Further disadvantages are the rather large overall size of these known ones

Devices and the need to connect those devices to a power source.

The object of the invention is therefore to provide a device for ensuring the care of the oral cavity and the teeth as well to massage the gums by means of small jets of pressurized water available, which is extremely simple in structure, inexpensive, reliable in use, and which does not have an electric motor and no power connection is required.

According to the invention, this object is achieved by a device of the type described above, which has a longitudinal Element (A) which is hollow inside and which is shaped and dimensioned substantially like the dental arch which has two opposite main surfaces for receiving the maxillary and mandibular teeth and that furthermore has a plurality of holes on its two opposing surfaces which correspond to its cavity are in communication, the cavity by a flexible tube (B) with a part for clipping the free end of the tube is connected to the tap (R) of a water supply, is marked.

The tube is preferably connected to a second tube which leads into a piston which is used for receiving a medicinal liquid intended for the treatment of the oral cavity.

The invention is described below with reference to a preferred embodiment and explained in more detail with reference to the drawings. Show it:

Fig. 3 is a schematic view showing the entire apparatus as a whole.

As shown in the figures, the device contains a shaped element (A), a flexible tube (B) and a bottle or flask (C).

The shaped part (A), which is shown in Fig. 1 in plan view and in Fig. 2 in cross section, is shaped and dimensioned substantially like the dental arch. On its upper and lower surfaces it has two re-entrant or hollow grooves (clearly shown in Figure 2) within which, when the element is inserted into the oral cavity, the teeth (T) holding the element in place are received. The shaped element (A), which is hollow inside and which is shaped to encircle the teeth and extend adjacent to the gums (G) (Fig. 2), has a complete series of small holes (which are clear in the 1 and 2) facing the teeth (T) and gums (G) on both the upper and lower surfaces. As already stated, the element (A) is hollow inside and by means of this cavity it is in connection with one end of a flexible tube (B), the other end with a resilient clamp or clamp (K) or another clamping device ( for example a clamp which is provided with a stretchable screw which can be operated by hand without the aid of a tool or the like and which can be easily and easily clamped onto the mouth of an ordinary cock (R). In the embodiment shown, a second tube (L) meets the tube (B). The former is connected to a pulling device (P), with its free end extending up to about the ground

the bottle or the piston (C) extends.

When using the device described above, it is sufficient to insert the element (A) into the oral cavity and it between the teeth to press the clamp (K) with the tap (R) and open the tap (s) (R). The pressurized water from the water source enters under pressure Form of very fine jets from the holes of the shaped element (A), removes any food residue and delivers a highly effective massage of the gums at the same time by expanding it. The person, who When the device is used, its mouth should be above the water basin (S) into which the water drains, which emerges from the holes of the molded element (A). If the tap with a hot water distribution network connected, then by adjusting the temperature of the water that is supplied by the tap, very easily adjust the temperature of the jets of water emerging from the holes in the element (A).

In the embodiment in which the device also includes the bottle or the piston (C) (which is any Medicines e.g. B. a disinfectant and / or an astringent liquid, a fluorine-containing anti-caries solution or the like), it is possible at any time to use the tap water to disperse the drug liquid by opening, for example, a valve that is inserted in the tube (L) and the is not shown in the drawing for the sake of simplicity. Through this liquid it is possible to have a highly effective Oral care to ensure the prevention of tooth decay and gum disease. The pressure of the water jets On the gums ensures a thorough massage and promotes or accelerates blood circulation. This reduces the risk of gingivitis.

The water jets also make plaque removal easier and remove bad breath that is on the skin Stomach. Furthermore, any risk of wounds or cuts in the gums is avoided, as a result of which an optimal cleaning of the oral cavity is guaranteed.

The device is extremely simple in structure and is reliable in use and very inexpensive.
