AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is about an oral care appliance and a method for using it. The appliance is designed to be easy to maintain, convenient, and can be used for cleaning and whitening. The method involves creating a vacuum in the appliance and using a connecting line to aspirate fluid out of the mouth. This allows the user to relax while the vacuum is created, making the cleaning process more comfortable. Overall, the appliance and method provide an effective and secure way to take care of oral hygiene.

Problems solved by technology

One drawback of existing oral care appliances is the limited efficiency and durability of their electrical components which reduces the appliance's useful life.
The components of the dental cleaning units may suffer degradation during the drainage and release operation of the waste material from the user's mouth.
For example, the electrical components can be exposed to foam or waste which may affect their operation as well as decrease the lifetime of these components.
As such, the overall maintenance cost of the electrical dental units can be increased due to degradation of these components.

Abstract

This disclosure relates to an oral care appliance and a method for use in oral care for cleaning the teeth of one or two arches using a mouthpiece forming a closed or nearly closed cavity. The mouthpiece is adapted to deform in response to pressure variations inside the cavity and create an action on the teeth. This disclosure includes a description of depression chambers and associated methods that can contribute to the operation of the oral care appliance by affecting the aforementioned pressure variations.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 16 / 269,954, filed on Feb. 7, 2019.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Dental cleaning plays a significant role in impacting the overall health of an individual. Many people schedule regular visits to a dentist for regular check-up's and cleaning operations. Many devices have been developed over the years to achieve the purpose of oral hygiene. These devices are either electrical or non-electrical. Among the above-mentioned categories of dental cleaning devices, electric dental units have gained popularity. Some examples of electric dental units are electric toothbrushes, dental water jets and electric flosses which intend to provide cleaning results by eradicating the food remains, plaque, etc from the spaces in between the teeth. These devices tend to require less user intervention in their operation and some are also suitable for people with reduced mobility or people ...
