Abstract
La présente invention concerne des dispositifs d'utilisation de fil de soie dentaire (10, 11, 34, 100) et des procédés convenant particulièrement pour l'utilisation par des porteurs d'appareils orthodontiques (71, 171). Ces dispositifs d'utilisation de fil de soie dentaire sont constitués d'un toron de fil de soie dentaire (14, 44, 150) tenu par un bras (20, 38, 120) fixé à une poignée (12, 36, 112). Le bras (20, 38, 120) présente une ou plusieurs extensions (22, 30, 56, 141, 142) qui supportent le fil de soie dentaire (14, 44, 150) et peuvent s'insérer sous l'arc (71, 171) d'un appareil orthodontique. L'une des extensions (141), plus souple et incurvée, assure la tension du fil de soie dentaire lorsqu'on l'applique de force contre une dent (172). Selon une autre réalisation, le dispositif comporte une bobine débitrice (42) de fil de soie dentaire. D'autres modèles de ces dispositifs comportent une boucle (14, 44) que l'utilisateur présente du doigt.
