1 / 24 Oral Hygiene Kit - Cross-reference to related orders

[0001] The present application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 63 / 492,542, filed March 28, 2023, the title of which is incorporated herein by reference. FUNDAMENTALS OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Oral hygiene, especially concerning teeth and gums, is extremely important for ensuring overall health. However, typical oral hygiene routines consume time. For example, most dentists recommend brushing your teeth for at least two minutes, which can be a problem for those who may have poor oral hygiene or who do not wish to brush their teeth for a long time. This can lead to problems with oral health. Therefore, avoid the need for specific instruments for oral hygiene that may affect the efficiency of existing products. SUMMARY

[0003] The present invention is directed to a vulcanizing instrument for oral hygiene that has a handle and a head attached to a removable neck portion. The head has a portion attached to the neck portion. The head part has a base, a leaf-shaped opening, and a slit-shaped opening. The opening of the stopper is in contact with the upright surface. The front surface has a front surface, a surface that extends over the surface of the leaf. A θρ^^ο dp proteçáo te ru u ma sopeSicis fro ntal a ume ssperfície raape isa.

[0033] Turning to the details of the invention, FIG. 2A illustrates a mouth hygiene system 1002 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The mouth hygiene system 1002 uses the oral hygiene instrument 1001 and a data processing unit 405. The data processing unit 405 can communicate with a server 407 for the purpose of storing data from the same source or to provide processing functionality on the server side. The presence of server 407 and the automation between the processing unit 010 and the device 407, in particular, are not limiting factors of the present invention, unless specifically established as a claim.

[0034] Referring to FIG. 2B, the aaOo 300 is an envelope containing a device for the generation of energy 330, 0^(^^:0) and an energy source 35S. The aaOo 311 is a dark cell in which the activity 341 is formed. More specifically, in the example modality, the activity 341 is formed by a section of elongated cable 300. In the example modality, the source of ^^313 35O is made up of two batteries located inside the activity 341. Naturally, the invention is not so limited to a single material. de daas Csier^as pod emser uoadas ou, alternativameete, outros dpod de nteted de enerc ip pod ser usa dosdos.

[0035] The support to the pacing 341 can be made in other ways in other modalities. For example, the 300 pacing can include a double-sided panel that forms an elongated area, with a longitudinal axis AA of the pacing 300 (for example, a surface and trauaira and / or a lateral surface) to adorn the support to the pacing 341. The 300 pacing can include the opening 340 in the pacing 341 in the elongated portion of the planargia 323 of the pacing 300. aa pacidada 341 é aaphada pala enormeposição da tampai fin al 339.

The detected characteristics may include the vibration response of cable 300, including the frequency or amplitude of vibrations. This can be measured using a sensor that is adapted to detect vibration, acceleration, changes in vibration, or similar aspects. For example, an accelerometer or gyrocompass can be used to measure the frequency response of cable 300. The accelerometer or gyrocompass can be embedded in a sensor of inertia ("i MU") or it can be composed of individual components, or other elements; the detected characteristics may include a moment of inertia, vibration transmissibility, mass of the cable, and sensitivity of the cable. eçaeçu or any other characteristic that may impaatar and θΐ'^ο^έΐϋid el e rransmio são de montanhas para os elemeotod de limaezados den 1es r 52, 252.

[0038] In other implementations, the detected characteristics can be used to determine the operational parameters of the vibration generation device 330. Thus, the detected characteristics can be indicative of the operational parameters of the vibration generation device 330. These parameters can be used to determine the frequency of the vibration generation device 330. Thus, the detected characteristics can be used to determine the operational parameters of the vibration generation device 330. Thus, the consumption of energy or frequency or amplitude can be measured by means of a few sounders 3E5í. These sounders 3P55 are known as voltage, current or frequency sounders. Processors like the Vivrlgados here can be used for fast Ferrite metric analysis (“FFTs”) or other analyses to infer information such as the inertia of the head coupled to cable 300. Other information such as the frequency apostrophe of the head can be analyzed to identify the head that is coupled to cable 300. Petition 870250084688, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, p. 28 / 60 15 / 24

In certain cases, when expressly indicated, the disclosed processes may be limited to the programming in one of the processors 51 of the oral hygiene instrument 1001 and in processor 469 of the data processing unit 405.

[0048] To operate the hygiene and mouthpiece instrument 100 o, the user must couple one of the first or second heads 100, 200 to the cable 300. Each of the first and second heads 100, 200 has distinct physical properties that result in different vibration patterns when the vibration generator device 330 is activated. Thus, the hygiene and mouthpiece instrument W01 can detect which of the first and second heads 100, 200 is coupled to the cable 300 using one or more sensors 355, as described above. a are otter x eaaitoção ideal da pluralidade de elemeotes de limaede de dentes 1 52, 2a2 pa irarnei ra au segunda cabeaa 100, 000, diferentes Parâmetroo oparapions ío dd Sisposrtiv a de geraato de vieraato 330 pode rssou usados.

[0049] In a non-limiting pxemalo, the vibration generation device 330 can be a motor with the current electrical connection coupled to a motor shaft. The processor 5553 can be coupled to the vibration generation device 330 and the voltage pm eosle is allowed by the processor 353 to the vibration generation device 330. This makes it possible for the vibration generation device 353 to generate vibrations that are transmitted to the head.

[0050] By altering an operating parameter of the vibration generation device 330, it is possible to optimize the excitation of the cleaning elements of the teeth 152, 252. This can be done by varying a voltage or applied contact, or by varying a frequency of actuation and actuation for the vibration generation device 330. Thus, the first and second heads 100, 20 P can have different resonance frequencies, moments of rotation or characteristic features of the vibration transmission that require different operating parameters of the vibration generation device 330.

[0051] Sensor 355 can be used to detect which of the first or second heads 100, 200 is currently coupled to cable 300. For example, the frequency response measured by cable 300 can be used to calculate the moment of inactivity and frequency of the predicted movement of the head that is currently coupled to cable 300. This can be done by operating the vibration generation device 330 and performing measurements, then altering the parameters of the vibration generation device 330 and performing measurements.

[0053] A first mode can be associated with the coupling of the first head 100, while a second mode can be associated with the coupling of the second head, 200. The processor 35P can be altered by alternating the first mode to the second mode, therefore the voltage, amplitude, and frequency of the device can be altered during the exchange of the first mode to the second mode.

[0054] 5m orara configuration, the Processor 2255 can use information from sensor 35P to determine which of the first or second heads 100, 500 is coupled to cable 300. Based on which of the first or second heads 100, 200, the brushing pattern can be altered. A brushing pattern can be altered. A single brushing pattern performed by a user. Some authorities recommend that the user brush their teeth for two minutes to guarantee proper brushing, including the amount of brushing. Petition 870250084688, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, pp. 35 / 60 22 / 24 brushing routine can be indicated to the user by means of a smile or simply by the operation of the vibration generation device 330 during the recommended duration.

[0055] However, although the effectiveness of brushing can be increased, it is possible to reduce the recommended brushing duration. This can be achieved by using a brushing technique that prioritizes the effectiveness of brushing. For example, the first head can simultaneously brush 2 to 5 of a user's teeth. In contrast, the second head can only brush 5 to 5% of the user's teeth simultaneously. Thus, the effectiveness of brushing can increase to 100 teeth.
