Embodiment Construction

[0035] The present disclosure describes various embodiments of oral care devices configured to automatically and dynamically adjust oral care routines. More generally, applicants have recognized and appreciated that it would be beneficial to provide an apparatus for adjusting one or more parameters of an oral care routine for the interdental space based on measurements of the interdental space. Accordingly, the methods and systems described herein or otherwise envisioned provide an oral care device that uses information about interdental spacing to automatically and dynamically modify oral care routines to clean teeth with multiple sizes, shapes, and forms of interdental space. According to one embodiment, the oral care device uses mechanical and / or digital measurements to obtain information about the interdental space. According to another embodiment, the oral care device receives measurement information from another source. The captured or received information is used by t...

Abstract

The present invention provides a method (800) for adjusting a user's oral care routine by an oral care device (10) based on interproximal spacing, the method including the steps of: (i) obtaining (820), using the oral care device, information about an interproximal space (66) in the user's mouth; and (ii) automatically adjusting (850), based on the obtained information, a parameter of the oral care device, wherein the dynamic adjustment is configured to improve oral care of the interproximal space.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure generally relates to systems and methods for determining the size of interdental spaces and dynamically adjusting oral care routines accordingly. Background technique [0002] To promote oral health, it is important to ensure adequate cleaning of all tooth surfaces, including the interdental spaces between teeth. Research shows that improper cleaning of the interdental spaces can lead to gum and periodontal disease and possibly dental caries. [0003] Dentists often recommend that patients use various interdental cleaning methods or devices, such as dental floss, interdental brushes, or water flossing, to clean between teeth. For example, dental floss is often recommended for individuals with narrow interdental spaces, and interdental brushes have been recommended for periodontal patients or patients with open wedge-shaped interdental spaces. [0004] A major problem with cleaning these interdental spaces is that each individua...
