Description

Toothbrush head and electric toothbrush using the toothbrush head

This creation discloses a toothbrush head, especially a toothbrush head with bristles around it.

The periodontal is generally referred to as gingival and alveolar bone, that is, the structure around the tooth. Its role is like the foundation of the building, and the tooth is the main body of the building. Periodontal disease is like a problem with the foundation. Although there is no problem with the main body of the building, it is shaken because of the continuous loss of soil and rocks, and it may collapse at any time. Periodontal disease is mostly caused by plaque remaining on the neck of the tooth. When plaque begins to release toxins, it invades the supporting tissue around the teeth.

To control periodontal disease, it is necessary to effectively remove plaque when brushing teeth, and the number of brushing times has nothing to do with whether the teeth are clean. The real "brush clean" is not just to pass the rice and vegetable residues. In fact, the vast majority of people do not know that brushing is to remove plaque, and plaque is mainly attached to the joint between teeth and gums and between the teeth, so when brushing, the bristles must effectively touch the gums. Remove plaque at the junction of teeth and gums.

However, the existing electric toothbrush head design is arranged in a traditional round solid way, and the reasons for the plaque cannot be effectively removed as advertised as follows:

1. The design concept is mainly to brush your teeth, not to clear the teeth and gum junctions.

2. The dentist recommends the use of the Bayesian brushing method to clean the gingival sulcus. Let the bristles brush at a 45-degree angle towards the gingival sulcus and gently brush back and forth to achieve the effect of cleaning and massaging the gums. The fast-moving bristles cannot actually continue to rely on the gingival junction of teeth to effectively remove plaque, especially the periodontal disease and dental implant patients have relatively long crowns, so it is difficult to clean. (As shown in Annex 1).

3. Even if the bristles are leaning against the gingival junction of the teeth, the user (especially the elderly) will not dare to use it due to the excessive vibration, or the user is afraid to cause the atrophy of the teeth and wear the teeth.

4. For a periodontist, there are three dead angles for brushing teeth. The lingual side of the lower incisors, the distal center of the large molars, and the mandibular molars (as shown in attachments 2A~2C). In addition, because the tongue blocks the lingual side of the mandibular molars Difficult to brush (as shown in Annex 2D). The patient can understand where to brush, but some brushing movements are not easy to do. Even if the patient brushes their teeth very carefully, it is still easy to cause plaque accumulation. This is due to the angle of the gesture and the age, so it requires a long learning curve (usually Only 7-8 visits are necessary to allow half of the patients to learn). Patients often fail to meet the doctor’s requirements, so they are very frustrated and therefore give up active treatment and postoperative maintenance. It is really a pity (half of the patients feel that they do Clinicians also gave up their efforts), because clinicians also failed to effectively control plaque and failed to achieve good results, resulting in double losses.

One of the purposes of this creation is to provide a toothbrush head with the bristle area set around the containing area.

One of the purposes of this creation is to provide a toothbrush head with the bristle area surrounding the containment area.

The bristle area of the toothbrush head of this creation can also effectively remove plaque at the junction of teeth and gums, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling the disease.

In this creation, the toothbrush brush head has a receiving area, so the vibration and force of the toothbrush brush head on the teeth are greatly reduced, so that the elderly can reduce the fear of using.

The brush head of the original toothbrush is arranged around the accommodating area because of the bristle area, so the accommodating area can be easily aligned with the position of the tooth to be brushed.

This creation provides a toothbrush head including: a bristle area; the bristle area is provided on the surface of the toothbrush head, and the bristle area surrounds the containing area.

This creation provides an electric toothbrush, including: a toothbrush head, It has a bristle area, which is arranged on the surface of the toothbrush head, and the bristle area surrounds an accommodating area; and a brush head driving device, which is connected to the toothbrush head by a connecting shaft to rotate the bristle area .

Please refer to FIGS. 1A and 1B. FIG. 1A shows a schematic perspective view of an embodiment of the present creation, and FIG. 1B shows a schematic front view of an embodiment of the present creation. The original toothbrush head 100 includes: a bristle area 101; wherein, the bristle area 101 is provided on the surface of the toothbrush head 100, and the bristle area 101 surrounds the containing area 102 (as shown in the black area of FIG. 1B). The toothbrush head 100 can be realized by an electric toothbrush head.

Please note that in an embodiment, the bristle area 101 is a ring-shaped surrounding and disposed in the containing area 102, and the containing area 102 is not provided or has no bristles. In an embodiment, the receiving area 102 may be completely bristle-free or relatively short bristles (eg, bristle length less than 4 mm). The bristles of the bristle area 101 may be continuously arranged, discontinuously arranged, or staggeredly arranged.

This creation uses a ring-shaped layout of the bristles. Please refer to Annex 3A and Annex 3B. Annexes 3A~3B are comparisons between the original brush head and the previous technology. Among them, this creation is the left brush head in Annexes 3A~3B, and the bristles Row 101 The storage area 102 is arranged in a row, because the storage area 102 is not provided with bristles, the tooth crown is not hindered by the bristles, and patients with periodontal disease can easily place the bristles at the junction of the teeth and gums.

Please note that the periodontal disease and dental implant patients have longer crowns. Therefore, this design and design target is for periodontal disease and dental implant patients. The bristle length of the bristle area 101 can be satisfied by the length of the crown of the large molars.

However, when using this creation, the general principles of brushing teeth are still followed, but through the structure of this creation, the side of the lower incisor tongue can use the side of the bristle area 101 to meet the purpose of small vibration and deep penetration between the teeth when it encounters a dead corner. When a tooth is placed in the receiving area 102, the bristle area 101 contacts the junction of the tooth and a gum, and the bristle area 101 and the receiving area 102 cover the tooth.

Please refer to the attachments 4A~4E. The large molar molars can use the bristle area 101. Because the bristle area 101 is arranged in a ring shape, the bristle area 101 and the accommodating area 102 form a hat-like surround and cover the teeth. 101 can clean the entire circle around the teeth.

The lingual side of the mandibular molar can use the side of the bristle area 101 to achieve the purpose of small vibration and deep penetration of the teeth, and the bristle area 101 is arranged in a ring shape, the bristle area 101 forms a hat-like surround and covers the teeth, and the receiving area 102 is used to accommodate or place The teeth are placed, so when the toothbrush head 100 is in operation, the bristle area 101 can clean the entire circumference of the teeth.

In another embodiment, the bristle area 101 can also be arranged in a square shape in the accommodating area 102, as shown in FIG.

Please refer to FIG. 3, which is an exploded schematic diagram of an embodiment of the creation. Please note that the electric toothbrush of FIG. 3 uses the toothbrush head of the foregoing embodiment.

The electric toothbrush 200 includes a toothbrush head 100 and a head drive device 20. The toothbrush head 100 has a bristle area 101, and the bristle area 101 is disposed on the surface of the toothbrush head 100, and the bristle area 101 surrounds a receiving area 102. The brush head driving device 20 is connected to the toothbrush head 100 through a connecting shaft C, so that the bristle area rotates reciprocatingly according to the brush head driving device 20; wherein the reciprocating rotation is a brush The hair zone 101 rotates counterclockwise and clockwise alternately.

In an embodiment, the brush head driving device 20 can be implemented by a Braun Oral-B electric toothbrush.

Wherein, the bristle area 101 is a circular ring shape and is disposed in the accommodating area 102. When a tooth is placed in the receiving area 102, the bristle area 101 and the receiving area 102 cover the tooth. The rest of the operating principles are the same as described above and will not be repeated here.

In summary, due to the toothbrush head of this creation, its brushing efficiency is improved, easy to operate, and the learning curve is reduced. Clinically, patients can be brushed well after about 2 to 3 visits. The patients brush well, periodontologists The treatment is smoother and achieves a win-win situation in medical treatment.
