Problems solved by technology

As such, it can be challenging for the user to simultaneously push the syringe plunger, follow the narrow path with the nozzle tip, and move the tip at a coordinated speed to match the rate at which the gel is being dispensed from the syringe.
Especially for unskilled users, this can lead to user error and improper distribution of the gel on the mouthpiece
Uneven or insufficient distribution may affect the efficacy of whitening procedures or other oral care treatments

Embodiment Construction

[0025] The present disclosure describes various embodiments of manifold assemblies that are used to facilitate the dispensing of oral care compounds in a desired distribution profile. More generally, the applicant has identified and understood that providing an oral care system would be beneficial for applying an oral care compound to a mouth piece having a manifold assembly that can be engaged with the mouth piece. A specific goal of using certain embodiments of the present disclosure is to enable the user to apply the oral care compound to the working surface of the mouthpiece in a desired distribution without the user's skilled manipulation.

[0026] In view of the foregoing, various embodiments and implementations relate to oral care systems and methods for applying oral care compounds to the working surface of a mouth piece in a desired distribution. The oral care system includes a manifold having an inlet for receiving an oral care compound or a pressurized source for the o...

Abstract

An oral care system (10) is provided. The system includes a mouthpiece (14) having a working surface (22). A manifold assembly (12) has a flow path (45) for an oral care compound and terminates at anoutlet (18) configured to engage with the mouthpiece and to align one or more ports (24) of the outlet with the working surface when engaged. An actuatable element is configured to dispense the oral care compound from the outlet onto the working surface of the mouthpiece by displacing the oral care compound through the manifold assembly when actuated.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present disclosure generally relates to oral care systems for applying oral care compounds to the working surfaces of mouth parts. Background technique [0002] Oral care compounds such as tooth whitening gels are traditionally stored in syringes that enable users to apply the gel to the working surface of the mouth piece for final use. These syringes are usually equipped with a small tip nozzle that extrudes a single stream of gel. This assembly requires the user to press the syringe plunger while positioning the syringe tip in a coordinated manner to evenly distribute the gel on the working surface of the mouthpiece. As such, it can be challenging for the user to simultaneously push the syringe plunger, follow the narrow path with the nozzle tip, and move the tip at a coordinated speed to match the rate at which the gel is dispensed from the syringe. Especially for unskilled users, this can lead to user error and improper distribution of gel on the ...
