More specifically, the upper right teeth TR1 to TR7, the upper left teeth TL1 to TL7, the lower right teeth DR1 to DR7, and the lower left teeth DL1 to DL7 of the user's teeth are displayed.

As an alternative embodiment, only the main teeth of the entire user's teeth may be displayed on the screen (UTD) of the terminal of the user's screen and may be displayed for each area. As another example, Can be divided into several groups, and each group can be distinguished and displayed.

Referring to FIG. 11, on the screen of the terminal of the user, information on the progress or progress of brushing by each tooth is displayed on the screen of the user's terminal. For example, in FIG. 11, the teeth TR1 and DL1 are displayed differently from other teeth. The teeth TR1 and DL1 are displayed when the brushing has not proceeded or the degree of brushing progression is low. At this time, when the brushing is detected, the pressure is sensed and if the pressure is lower than the predetermined pressure, the progress of the brushing may be indicated to be low.

The user can easily grasp that the brushing of the teeth TR1 and DL1 is necessary to see the screen UTD of the terminal and can perform the brushing and efficiently manage the replenishment of the teeth TR1 and DL1, As a result, tooth care can be facilitated.

Referring to FIG. 12, the user selects the entire user's teeth displayed on the screen (UTD) of the user's terminal. The user selects the teeth TL1 of his or her entire teeth (SL). Selection (SL) can be various operations such as click, touch, flicking, and the like.

When the user proceeds to the selection, cumulative brushing information for the selected tooth TL1 is displayed on the screen UTD as shown in Fig. Specifically, brushing information (STS) can be displayed for each date DD on the screen UTD. The brushing information (STS) may be divided into A, B and C, A indicates a state in which brushing is progressing well, B indicates a state in which brushing has progressed but time or brushing pressure is low, and C indicates a state in which brushing has not proceeded . As shown in FIG. 13, the user can easily grasp the brushing history of a specific tooth through information displayed in an image form on the screen (UTD) of the user's terminal, and can continuously and efficiently manage the teeth.

Referring to FIG. 14, the brushing cumulative comparison information selection button (HS) for the entire tooth is displayed on the screen (UTD) of the user's terminal. If the user presses the button (HS), cumulative information is displayed as shown in FIG.

Specifically, referring to FIG. 15, on the screen (UTD) of the terminal, information capable of comparing and accumulating cumulative information of brushing on the entire teeth of the user for a predetermined period or a period set by the user is displayed. Referring to FIG. 15, the teeth DR1 and TL1 are shown at the most blurred, which displays a state in which the degree of brushing progress is low.

The teeth TR1 and DL1 are shown slightly darker than the teeth DR1 and TL1 and are higher than the teeth DR1 and TL1 but are less likely to progress brushing than other normal teeth TR2, TR3, DR2, DL2, Status.

The user can intuitively understand the toothbrushing habit of his or her teeth, thereby making it possible to plan the progress of brushing and to correct the brushing operation. It is possible to facilitate the management of the back teeth.
