Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of oral hygiene and it relates more particularly to devices allowing brushing of the dentition.
  • Brushing of the dentition is traditionally carried out using a brush provided with bristles and maneuvered manually using a handle.
  • the unsightly nature of this method most often requires isolation for the sake of discretion. This is a cause of dental hygiene defects which can be noted in particular on subjects that the obligations of daily life away from their home.
  • the oral hygiene device which it offers makes it possible to operate a simultaneous brushing of all the faces of the opposing teeth of the upper and lower jaws, while keeping the mouth closed, which preserves the necessary discretion. in his employ.
  • This device consists of a support formed by two vertical branches braced in a horizontal median plane, the internal faces of said vertical branches being furnished with bristles. It is remarkable in that the height of said vertical branches is substantially equal to the vertical dimension of the teeth, that is to say the distance between the lower and upper gums, and in that the spacing between said branches is substantially equal to the width of the teeth and adaptable to the profile of the latter.
  • such a device should be positioned between the teeth of the lower and upper jaws, straddling the dental arches, and its movements on the teeth will be effected in particular by movements of natural chewing.
  • the device is provided, on the external face of at least one of the vertical branches of said support, with a lingual support means.
  • the oral hygiene device consists of a support 1, preferably made of flexible plastic, formed by two vertical branches 1a and 1b braced in a horizontal median plane, the internal faces of the vertical branches and the upper and lower faces of said spacer 1c being lined with bristles 2.
  • the height of said vertical branches is substantially equal to the vertical dimension of the teeth and the spacing between said branches is substantially equal to the width of the teeth and adaptable to the profile of the latter.
  • branches will be cut at least partially by notches 4 in order to form a combination of flexible blades.
  • the vertical branches can follow the slightest asperities and hollows appearing on the surface of the teeth.
  • the vertical branches will be notched vertically or radially according to the general shape, parallelepiped or circular, of the support 1.
  • this support must allow easy brushing of two consecutive teeth and the interdental space and to facilitate its translations, at least one of the vertical branches is provided on its external face with a lingual support means which , in the illustrated embodiments, is constituted by a projection 3 on which the tongue will exert a force in the direction of the desired movement.
  • This lingual support means can also consist of a cavity which is not shown here, and which can be closed by the tongue to allow it to act like a suction cup.
  • the support adhering closely to the language, can follow the movements of the latter.
  • the said spacer will be constituted by a spring means which, in the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 8, is formed by a deformable parallelogram 8.
  • a spring means which, in the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 8, is formed by a deformable parallelogram 8.
  • said spacer 1c will be constituted by the association of several elements of sections and of complementary volumes and with adjustable socket. These elements could thus be constituted by a female element 9 of substantially prismatic shape and by a male element 10 of substantially cylindrical shape.
  • the interlocking of said elements will be maintained by an elastic return means, not shown, encircling the assembly, and which may be constituted by a rod of latex or synthetic rubber, housed in a groove 7 open at the periphery of the support in the plane containing the spacer.
  • the lingual support means is constituted by a projection 3 which will thus be notched across its width making it possible to immobilize the elastic return means in the median plane containing the spacer.
  • each vertical branch of the support is provided with 'a female element 9 and a male element 10 to cooperate with the corresponding male and female elements of the other vertical branch.
  • each female element being coated on these lower and upper faces with bristles, it may be possible to brush the crushing faces of the teeth, despite a maximum spacing of the vertical branches.
  • These bristles can be fixed, at appropriate angles, by gluing, inclusion or any other known fixing means, the support preferably being cut to the required dimensions from a plastic profile.
  • the device of the invention may be wrapped in a sealed manner, as illustrated in FIG. 6, in a thin film 5 made of tearable and shrinkable material, for example plastic material conforming to food standards.
  • This envelope 5 may thus contain an oral hygiene or comfort product, such as toothpaste or deodorant, which will be released into the oral cavity during the first chewing.
  • this envelope will be made integral with the support 1 by any known means, such as gluing, heat sealing or the like.
  • the oral hygiene or comfort product may be contained in the volume of the deformable parallelogram 8, for example by means of a porous material, and will be released by the pressure exerted by the jaws.
