Description

[0001] MULTIFUNCTIONAL TEETH WHITENING APPARATUS [0002]

The present invention relates to a multifunctional tooth whitening device, and more particularly, to a multifunctional tooth whitening device capable of whitening a tooth conveniently and stably and removing a white tooth.

Recently, as the economy develops, there is a strong tendency to pursue health and beauty at the same time. One example is the envy of white and healthy teeth. In reality, however, in most cases, teeth are inherently untreated unless they have been under special care since childhood, or are subject to some degree of discoloration, albeit with individual differences due to dietary habits or smoking.

The tooth whitening is to return the discolored tooth to its original white color. At the beginning of tooth whitening, tooth whitening agent was used in the simplest form to obtain a whitening effect by toothbrushing when brushing teeth. However, the amount of the whitening agent contained in the toothpaste was too small to effectively remove the coloring component deposited on the tooth surface.

For more effective whitening treatment, there is a method of receiving professional treatment using a whitening pad or laser in the dentist. This method is excellent in the whitening effect, but it has a problem of requiring long-term periodical outpatient treatment and expensive treatment cost.

Thus, a whitening patch has been proposed as an eclectic alternative which is easy to treat with less cost and has excellent effect. This whitening patch is an ointment containing a low concentration of carboxy or peroxide based whitening agent. This product has sufficient whitening ingredients and can be used for a long time, so it has excellent whitening effect. It can be easily used by anyone because it is finished by just attaching to the front and back of the tooth according to the instructions for use.

However, this patch for whitening has a problem that since the adhesive portion adhered to the tooth is water-soluble, the ointment portion is disturbed from the original attachment position due to the movement of the muscle around the mouth during prolonged use, thereby irritating or damaging the gum, tongue, or oral mucosa .

To overcome these problems, recently developed is a light emitting tooth whitening device. This luminescent tooth whitening device is to apply a whitening agent containing a photoactive agent to a tooth and irradiate an actinic ray thereon to activate a whitening component by a photoactive agent to promote whitening treatment.

The above-mentioned light emitting type tooth whitening device is inconvenient because a part to be irradiated with an actinic light beam is put in the mouth of the user and is used by pressing another button.

In addition, since there is no locking device, there is inconvenience that the power cable is disconnected from the power supply rotor during use.

Furthermore, there is only a tooth whitening function, and an improvement measure that can be utilized versatility is required.

The above-described technical structure is a background technique for assisting the understanding of the present invention, and does not mean the prior art widely known in the technical field to which the present invention belongs.

Korean Registered Patent No. 10-0773379 (Seoul Cosmetics) 2007. 10. 30.
