[0031] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0032] The specific embodiments described below are merely preferred embodiments of this application, and the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art can make modifications or variations based on the principles, concepts, and spirit of this application, and the resulting technical solutions should all be covered within the scope of protection of this application.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] Dental floss for cleaning teeth consists of a first traction section 1-1-1, a middle cleaning section 1-1-2, and a final cleaning section 1-1-3. The middle cleaning section 1-1-2 is located between the first traction section 1-1-1 and the final cleaning section 1-1-3.

[0035] The following describes the manufacturing process of the dental floss used for cleaning teeth: Step (1), prepare a multi-strand nylon filament. The multi-strand nylon filament is characterized by high elasticity and good tensile strength. Step (2), coat one end of the multi-strand nylon filament with glue (one end of the multi-strand nylon filament is covered with glue), thus forming the first traction section 1-1-1. The diameter of the glued part is smaller and the hardness is increased (that is, the diameter of the first traction section 1-1-1 is smaller and the hardness is increased). The diameter of the first traction section 1-1-1 can be 0.25mm to 0.75mm. Step (3), coat the first traction section 1-1-1 with glue at a certain distance backward, covering it with a layer of guar gum (forming a guar gum layer), thus forming the second cleaning section 1-1-3. The diameter of the second cleaning section 1-1-3 can be 0.2mm to 0.8mm. The part that is not coated with glue forms the intermediate cleaning section 1-1-2 (the diameter of the intermediate cleaning section 1-1-2 can be 1mm to 4mm), and the intermediate cleaning section 1-1-2 is fluffy.

[0036] The coating process can be carried out by applying adhesive by spraying or by spraying adhesive to form an adhesive layer covering multiple strands of nylon filaments.

[0037] Use such asFigure 1 The procedure for using dental floss is as follows: For patients wearing orthodontic appliances, pinch the first traction segment 1-1-1 with your fingers and pass it through the gap between the bracket and the tooth (or the gap between the archwire and the tooth). This places the intermediate cleaning segment 1-1-2 in the gap between the bracket and the tooth (or the gap between the archwire and the tooth). Then, pinch the second cleaning segment 1-1-3 with the fingers of your other hand and use both hands to pull back and forth, causing the intermediate cleaning segment 1-1-2 to rub back and forth in the gap, effectively cleaning it. Because the first traction segment 1-1-1 is relatively stiff, it can easily pass through the gap, making the operation convenient and flexible. Because the intermediate cleaning segment 1-1-2 is fluffy, it repeatedly rubs in the gap for thorough cleaning.

[0038] Another use of the posterior cleaning segment 1-1-3 is to clean the gaps between teeth. The procedure is as follows: Pinch the first traction segment 1-1-1 with your fingers and let it pass through the gap between two adjacent teeth. Then pull it a certain distance so that the posterior cleaning segment 1-1-3 is located in the gap between two adjacent teeth. Then, pinch one end of the posterior cleaning segment 1-1-3 with the fingers of one hand and the other end with the fingers of the other hand. Finally, use both hands to pull back and forth, so that the posterior cleaning segment 1-1-3 rubs back and forth in the gap between two adjacent teeth, thereby cleaning the gap between the two adjacent teeth.

[0039] The length of the rear cleaning section 1-1-3 can be 5cm to 50cm. Alternatively, the length of the rear cleaning section 1-1-3 can be 1cm to 5cm. In this case, the rear cleaning section only has a handheld function; pinching the rear cleaning section with your fingers makes it easier to rub the middle cleaning section 1-1-2 back and forth in the gap.

[0040] It should be noted that the intermediate cleaning section 1-1-2 can be immersed in the setting solution, then removed and dried to set and reinforce the multi-strand nylon filament yarn. Any commercially available setting solution will suffice. Setting and reinforcement will slightly stiffen the original yarn and reduce its diameter; the diameter of the intermediate cleaning section 1-1-2 after setting and reinforcement will be 1mm to 3mm. Due to repeated friction within the gaps, the intermediate cleaning section 1-1-2 will gradually become fluffy, returning to its pre-setting state. A fluffy, larger diameter intermediate cleaning section 1-1-2 will provide better cleaning results.

[0041] It should be noted that the preferred material for multi-strand nylon filaments is nylon 66.

[0042] Regarding the first traction section 1-1-1, its length can be 3cm to 15cm.

[0043] Regarding the intermediate cleaning section 1-1-2, its length can be 8cm to 38cm.

[0044] like Figures 7-9 As shown, multiple dental flosses for cleaning teeth are placed in a plastic bag 8, and then the plastic bag 8 is placed in a cardboard box 7. The cardboard box 7 has a lid 7-1 and a body. The lid 7-1 has an insertion part 7-1-1, and the body of the cardboard box 7 has an insertion port 7-2 and an outlet 7-3. The lid 7-1 is closed by fastening it and inserting the insertion part 7-1-1 into the insertion port 7-2. The plastic bag 8 has an opening 8-1, which is located at the outlet 7-3. When using, refer to... Figure 9 Open the cover 7-1, pull out a dental floss from the opening 8-1, and remove it from the outlet 7-3 for use.

[0045] Example 2

[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, the dental floss roll 1 includes dental floss 1-1 and cylindrical core 1-2. The entire dental floss 1-1 is wound around the cylindrical core 1-2 to form a roll. The cylindrical core 1-2 is made of plastic.

[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, the dental floss roll 1 is placed inside the dental floss box, and the cylindrical core 1-2 is positioned on the conical column 2-1 inside the dental floss box 2. The cylindrical core 1-2 can rotate.

[0048] When you need to use dental floss, open the lid of the dental floss box, pinch the floss 1-1 with your fingers and pull it outwards. The cylindrical core 1-2 will rotate. After pulling out the required length of floss 1-1, use a blade to cut the pulled-out floss. This will give you the desired length of floss.

[0049] like Figure 4 As shown, dental floss 1-1 is pulled out of the floss holder and unfolded to a certain length. It can be seen that this unfolded portion consists of three sections: the initial traction section 1-1-1, the intermediate cleaning section 1-1-2, and the final cleaning section 1-1-3. The next initial traction section 1-1-4 follows the final cleaning section 1-1-3. When extracting the desired length from the floss holder, the junction between the initial traction section 1-1-4 and the final cleaning section 1-1-3 is cut with a blade. This yields dental floss composed of the initial traction section 1-1-1, the intermediate cleaning section 1-1-2, and the final cleaning section 1-1-3 (as shown). Figure 5 (As shown).

[0050] like Figure 6 As shown, the entire dental floss 1-1 wound on the cylindrical core 1-2 includes multiple sets of sections to be used. The first set of sections to be used consists of the first traction section 1-1-1, the intermediate cleaning section 1-1-2, and the final cleaning section 1-1-3. The second set of sections to be used consists of the first traction section 1-1-4, the intermediate cleaning section 1-1-5, and the final cleaning section 1-1-6.

[0051] The method for preparing each group of usable parts in the whole dental floss 1-1 is the same as the method in Example 1.

[0052] After using up a section of dental floss cut with a blade, pull it out of the floss holder and cut off another section with the blade to continue cleaning your teeth. It's convenient and flexible to use. Dental floss used for cleaning teeth is stored in the floss holder, ensuring good hygiene. The floss holder is easy to carry and store. (The last sentence appears to be incomplete and possibly refers to a product or service.)

[0053] The treated multi-strand nylon filaments are easier to wind onto the cylindrical core 1-2 to form a roll.

[0054] It should be noted that the preferred material for multi-strand nylon filaments is nylon 66.
