Benefits of technology

The present invention is a dental cleaning system that aims to provide a quick and effective way to clean teeth with minimal equipment and supplies. The brush assembly of the system includes a brush head, brush tail, hollow tubular body, bristles, dental pick, and hanging ring. It is designed for disposable use and the dental pick is shaped like a teardrop to make it easy to remove debris between teeth. The cap unit assembly includes a top surface with a mirror and may be made of transparent or shatter-proof materials for durability and safety. It can serve as a cup to aid in rinsing the mouth of the user-brusher. The front face of the brush head has an orifice for dispensing toothpaste, and the user-brusher can press the brush tail to dispense toothpaste for better teeth cleaning.

Problems solved by technology

One limitation with traditional teeth cleaning is that there is often a need for these multiple components (toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash, rinse cup).
When an individual is traveling, oral care typically requires the packing of a toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash and a rinse cup which can be burdensome.
In certain instances, an external tube of toothpaste can also create a mess for the traveler if it leaks.
