[0028] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 1-6 As shown, the care brush 2 also includes a brush head 23, which is detachably connected to the brush handle 21. When the brush head 23 is connected to the brush handle 21, the central axis of the brush head 23 coincides with the central axis of the brush handle 21; a plurality of cleaning strips 231 are arranged around the brush head 23, and the cleaning strips 231 are elastic and can move in the patient's mouth and deform to sweep a larger area when contacting the patient's mouth, thereby enhancing the cleaning effect.
[0029] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 1-6 As shown, lighting structure 1 14 has a spherical outer shell, and several lighting structures 2 24 are arranged around the brush handle 21. Lighting structure 2 24 includes lighting structure 1 14 and a focusing tube 241. Focusing tube 241 is mounted on the outside of lighting structure 1 14. The central axis of focusing tube 241 intersects with the central axis of brush handle 21 and is angled toward brush head 23. Lighting structure 1 14, located on the outer walls of upper and lower braces 11 and 12, emits light in multiple directions through its spherical outer shell, thereby illuminating the entire oral cavity when the patient opens their mouth. Lighting structure 2 24 with focusing tube 241 on brush handle 21 is designed to illuminate specific areas to be cleaned. Focusing tube 241 can focus the light from lighting structure 1 14 to provide medical staff with a bright view in front of the care brush 2, thereby facilitating oral care for patients.
[0030] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 1-6As shown, the upper brace 11 is provided with an upper occlusal groove 111, the lower brace 12 is provided with a lower occlusal groove 121, and the elastic portion 13 is provided with a connecting groove 131.

This arrangement ensures that when the patient bites the expansion frame 1, the force feedback on the upper and lower teeth is the same, which helps improve the patient's bite experience. It also allows the bite force to be evenly distributed between the upper and lower braces 11 and 12 when the patient bites the expansion frame 1.
[0032] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 1-6 As shown, the upper brace 11 is made of polyethylene or polystyrene. More specifically, the brace and the bite socket are made of different colors. Since the brace is provided with an illumination structure, it is inevitable to provide a conductive circuit inside the brace. The different colors of the brace and the bite socket facilitate the timely detection of any damage to the bite socket, thereby avoiding leakage and danger during use.
[0033] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 1-6 As shown, the connecting wire 22 extends from the upper brace 11 into the expansion frame 1 and passes through the elastic portion 13 into the lower brace 12. A lead wire is provided within the connecting wire 22. The individual lighting structures 14 on the upper brace 11 are connected in series and electrically connected to the lead wire.
