Brush with built-in vertical floss on the back.

Abstract

THIS APPLICATION IS A UTILITY MODEL BELONGING TO THE FIELD OF ORAL HYGIENE AND DENTAL CARE, SPECIFICALLY RELATED TO MANUAL TOOTHBRUSHES THAT INCORPORATE COMPLEMENTARY MEANS FOR INTERPROXIMAL CLEANING. THE UTILITY MODEL CONSISTS OF A TOOTHBRUSH THAT INTEGRATES, ON THE BACK OF ITS HANDLE AND IN A POSITION OPPOSITE TO THE BRISTLES, A DETACHABLE INTERDENTAL CLEANING DEVICE COMPOSED OF A RIGID STEM OF FORK-TYPE CONFIGURATION THAT HOLDS A SEGMENT OF DENTAL FLOSS DISPOSED HORIZONTALLY. The removable device allows for both conventional brushing and interdental cleaning with a single instrument, facilitating the removal of plaque, food debris, and contaminants accumulated in hard-to-reach areas. The system incorporates a removable and replaceable attachment mechanism that simplifies the replacement of the handle and floss when they become worn, thus extending the brush's lifespan. THE INVENTION PROVIDES A PRACTICAL, ERGONOMIC AND FUNCTIONAL SOLUTION INTENDED TO OPTIMIZE ORAL HYGIENE TIME, ENCOURAGE THE USE OF DENTAL FLOSS AND IMPROVE THE PREVENTION OF PERIODONTAL DISEASES AND INTERPROXIMAL CARIES.
