Holder-type dental floss with different shaped dental floss on each side of the handle

Abstract

To provide an interdental cleaning tool that integrates Y-shaped and U-shaped floss structures, enables cleaning of all dentition with a single tool, and enables efficient cleaning and simplifies instruction. [Solution] The interdental cleaning tool of this invention comprises an integrated Y-shaped flossing section and a U-shaped flossing section, with a handle connecting them. The U-shaped flossing section is suitable for cleaning the interdental surfaces of anterior teeth and premolars, while the Y-shaped flossing section is suitable for cleaning the interdental surfaces of molars. The handle is also easy to hold and has a wide shape that fits comfortably in the fingers, allowing for efficient interdental cleaning throughout the oral cavity with just one tool.

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an interdental cleaning device used for removing plaque from between teeth, and more particularly to a disposable device that integrates a Y-shaped and a U-shaped floss structure. [Background technology]

[0002] The present invention relates to an interdental cleaning device used for removing plaque from between teeth, and more particularly to a disposable device that integrates a Y-shaped and a U-shaped floss structure. Background technology Conventionally, dental floss is attached to a Y- or U-shaped holder to clean the interdental spaces. However, while the U-shaped holder is suitable for front teeth and premolars, it is difficult to clean the molar area due to limitations in angle and range of motion. On the other hand, Y-shaped devices are suitable for the proximal surfaces of molars, but are difficult to use on anterior teeth. Therefore, it is necessary to use both shapes, which is troublesome for patients as they have to prepare two different products, and dental hygienists also have to switch between them during instruction, which is cumbersome. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] Although Y-shaped and U-shaped interdental cleaning tools each have their own advantages, there has never been a single product that combines both functions, and the complexity of using both and the burden of training have been issues. Also, as a dental hygienist, when instructing patients, it is often the case that only one of the two is given, and I felt every day that flossing instruction was not given thoroughly. This device allows you to clean your entire mouth from front to back teeth with a single flossing tool. The goal is to enable more efficient cleaning and simplified instruction. The purpose of this invention is to provide an interdental cleaning tool that combines Y-shaped and U-shaped floss structures to enable cleaning of the entire dentition with a single tool. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] The interdental cleaning tool of this invention has a U-shaped holder at one end, which is suitable for cleaning the interproximal surfaces of the anterior and premolar teeth. The other end has a Y-shaped holder, which is suitable for cleaning the interproximal surfaces of the molar teeth. Cleaning floss is attached to each end, allowing for continuous use without having to use two tools depending on the area to be cleaned. In addition, the central holder is wide and easy to hold, fitting comfortably in your fingers, increasing stability during cleaning. [Effects of the Invention]

[0005] This device allows for cleaning of all dentition in the oral cavity with a single tool, eliminating the need for multiple tools, reducing the time and effort required for users and the burden on dental hygienists. Flossing is the best way to prevent oral diseases (tooth decay and periodontal disease), but currently it is not widely used, resulting in many people suffering from the disease. Increasing the use of flossing can help prevent periodontal disease. In addition, the disposable structure makes it hygienic and contributes to improving the rate at which patients continue self-care. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0006] [Figure 1] Use a U-shaped tooth for the front teeth and a Y-shaped tooth for the back teeth. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0007] Holder-type dental floss The floss is attached to a U-shaped holder on one side and a Y-shaped holder on the other side. [Example]

[0008] Use a U-shaped floss between your front teeth. Place it between your teeth, touch the sides of the teeth, and move it up and down to scrape the sides of the teeth and remove dirt. For molars, place the opposite Y-shaped floss between the teeth and scrape the sides of the teeth to remove dirt. [Industrial Applicability]

[0009] This device relates to an oral hygiene tool that integrates a Y-shaped and a U-shaped floss section, and can be widely used in the dental field and as a daily oral care product. It can be used as an instruction tool in dental clinics and as a cleaning tool for preventing periodontal disease and maintaining oral hygiene in ordinary homes, and has high industrial applicability.

Claims

[Claim 1] It has a Y-shaped floss portion and a U-shaped floss portion at both ends, It has a handle that connects them, The U-shaped floss section is suitable for cleaning the interproximal surfaces of anterior and premolar teeth. The Y-shaped floss section is suitable for cleaning the interproximal surfaces of molars. The interdental cleaning tool is characterized in that the handle portion is formed in a wide shape that fits a finger.
