[0002] NON-PROVISIONAL APPLICATION FOR PATENT

[0003] PCT Rule 19.1 (a)(iii) A TOOTHBRUSH HAVING MULTI HEAD ARRANGEMENT FOR FAST AND EFFECTIVE CLEANING”

[0004] FIELD OF INVENTION

[0005] The present invention relates to a toothbrush or apparatus having multi head arrangement for fast and effective cleaning, more particularly to a toothbrush having a three- sided head that improves the cleaning of teeth from all sides simultaneously and efficiency through unique position of toothbrush heads and associated bristle.

[0006] BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

[0007] In many instances, the mouth acts as the starting point of the digestive system, utilizing the teeth and tongue to break down food and mix it with saliva. Therefore, it is essential to maintain good oral hygiene.

[0008] It is observed that, when food is consumed, food particles often remain between the teeth, creating an ideal environment for bacteria to thrive. To remove these particles, one can use a toothbrush or dental floss, with the toothbrush being the most commonly used tool. A toothbrush consists of a handle for the user to grip and a head with bristles. It is used to clean the teeth and gums by applying toothpaste to the bristles and brushing.

[0009] Using toothbrushes and brushing teeth daily is a well-established routine for most people. A typical toothbrush has a handle for the user to grip and a head portion. The head consists of a base, often an extension of the handle, with bristles attached and extending upward. These bristles are usually aligned in one plane, though they can vary in length and arrangement to enhance the toothbrush's effectiveness.

[0010] It is well known that users move the bristles over their teeth to dislodge food particles and other debris from the crevices and spaces between teeth. This action also helps to prevent or slow down the buildup of plaque on the teeth.

[0011] Over the years, various bristle configurations and toothbrush shapes have been developed and marketed to enhance the effectiveness of toothbrushes. The goal is to optimize the sweeping motion to better dislodge debris and reduce plaque buildup. There is extensive literature on the numerous designs and variations of toothbrushes. Different toothbrushes may be more suitable for children, adults, or individuals with special needs and requirements to ensure proper dental care.

[0012] Teeth vary significantly from person to person. Some individuals have straight teeth, while others have teeth that are moderately or severely misaligned. Additionally, the surfaces of each tooth differ. For example, the thickness of the enamel covering the teeth can vary depending on its location on the tooth. Notably, the enamel layer on the occlusal area, or chewing surface, is thicker than the enamel on the sides of the teeth.

[0013] In traditional toothbrushes, the bristles are primarily made of the same material and arranged vertically. However, in recent years, toothbrushes have been designed with bristles of varying heights and materials. This innovation addresses the differences in tooth size and shape, which vary depending on the individual and the tooth's position. For instance, front teeth, canines, and molars differ in size and shape. Additionally, the areas that require brushing, such as between teeth and the spaces between teeth and gums, also vary.

[0014] Additionally, various methods are used for brushing teeth. To clean the occlusal surfaces, the bristles are moved back and forth over the chewing surfaces. For brushing the sides of the teeth, the bristles are directed to the sides and moved in a reciprocating motion.

[0015] When brushing with a back-and-forth motion along the sides of the teeth, excessive force can inadvertently be applied to the tooth and gum line, potentially widening the gap between them. This method may also struggle to effectively clean the areas between the teeth. To address these issues, brushing should be performed by gently lifting the bristles from the lower part of the tooth to the upper part, ensuring thorough cleaning without causing unnecessary pressure on the gums or teeth.

[0016] Nevertheless, adults often find it challenging to change established brushing habits, and children who are new to brushing may struggle to adopt this technique. As a result, food particles or debris may not be effectively removed from the teeth, potentially leading to tooth decay or gum disease.

[0017] It is pertinent to note that when using a toothbrush with a single row of bristles, only the front or back areas of the teeth can be cleaned with each stroke. This limitation also applies to gum care and massage. Consequently, there is a drawback where the front and more visible tooth surfaces receive preferential cleaning, while the less visible rear surfaces may be neglected. To address this issue, toothbrushes with dual rows of bristles have been developed. These toothbrushes allow both the front and rear areas of the teeth and gums to be cleaned or massaged in a single brushing action, thereby remedying the aforementioned drawback.

[0018] Despite various reasons, none of the known toothbrushes of this type has achieved widespread acceptance. Primarily, existing designs do not adequately consider the positions and arrangements of teeth in the human mouth, the available space for dental care, and the requirements for industrial-scale manufacturing necessary for such toothbrushes.

[0019] There is no guarantee that the device will effectively clean the gums unless the user actively guides the device to ensure the bristles maintain contact with the gums throughout the process. Additionally, any small pockets between the teeth and gums, remain untouched because the bristles lack the firmness or rigidity needed to dislodge debris that may accumulate there. Furthermore, neither device is designed to clean the spaces between adjacent teeth, a task commonly performed with dental floss. Moreover, neither device includes a mechanism to flush away debris generated during cleaning, whether from the tooth surfaces or the spaces between teeth.

[0020] Brushing and flossing are essential for maintaining good oral hygiene. Despite the recognized importance of flossing, it has not been widely adopted by the general population. Even among those who do floss, many often do not adequately clean hard-to-reach areas of the mouth. Moreover, while most commercially available toothbrushes effectively clean the outer surfaces of teeth, they often fall short in providing thorough cleaning of plaque and debris from the gum line, between teeth, lingual surfaces, and other challenging areas of the mouth.

[0021] The brushing technique most widely recommended by dental professionals is known as the "Bass Technique." In this method, users are instructed to hold aconventional toothbrush at a 45-degree angle, where half of the bristles touch the teeth and the other half touch the gums. The recommended motion involves short back-and-forth strokes, as opposed to the up-and-down motion previously advised. This brushing method effectively cleans the enamel surface while providing essential gum massage to promote healthy gum tissue. It also enables the bristles to reach and clean the sulcus, or the area behind the gum tissue where plaque can accumulate. Proper gum massage and sulcus cleaning are crucial in preventing periodontitis, a condition affecting millions of individuals.

[0022] Despite being widely taught by dentists, few patients adhere to the Bass Technique instructions. This is often due to its time-consuming nature and the level of manual skill and dexterity required when using a conventional toothbrush to achieve effective results. Many patients, as evidenced by the high incidence of gum disease, struggle to use a conventional toothbrush correctly.

[0023] Despite being taught by thousands of dentists, few patients adhere to the Bass Technique instructions. This is largely due to its perceived time-consuming nature and the level of manual skill and dexterity required to use a conventional toothbrush effectively. The high incidence of gum disease suggests that many patients struggle with proper technique when using a conventional toothbrush.

[0024] Implementing the Bass technique with a standard toothbrush requires the user to rotate their wrist at a 45° angle while performing the short back-and-forth strokes on both the front and back surfaces of both the upper and lower teeth. Maintaining this wrist position throughout the recommended brushing duration can be challenging, especially for children and individuals with arthritis. Many of these individuals lack the necessary manual dexterity and stamina to effectively practice the Bass brushing technique.

[0025] Therefore, there is a need for a toothbrush that supports the Bass brushing technique without causing unnecessary strain on the user's hand and wrist. This strain often leads to fatigue, discouraging proper brushing technique and encouraging a return to less effective brushing habits.

[0026] Regular brushing of teeth is crucial for maintaining both oral and overall health. Typically, able-bodied individuals use conventional manual or electric toothbrushes. However, many individuals, such as the elderly and disabled, lack the ability to brush their teeth effectively on their own using traditional toothbrushes. Some rely on healthcare workers for assistance in brushing their teeth, which can be difficult and time-consuming. Moreover, children may struggle with grasping and maneuvering traditional toothbrush handles due to their smaller and less dexterous hands, making effective cleaning challenging.

[0027] Generally, numerous toothbrush designs have been proposed to clean a person's teeth effectively. Many of these designs share a common feature: they are intended to clean the teeth in stages. This means that the toothbrush is used to clean both sides of the jaw and the front of the teeth in separate stages, often requiring the toothbrush to be removed from the mouth when transitioning between stages.

[0028] Each step involved in brushing teeth typically requires manipulating the toothbrush, which includes periodically removing it from the mouth, repositioning or reorienting it, and then reinserting it. These actions interrupt the smooth brushing motion and can affect the effectiveness of cleaning.

[0029] Oral care professionals advocate for a brushing technique that simulates a rolling action, where brush strokes move up and down to ensure the bristles reach into intratooth crevices and provide gentle massage to the gingival (gum) margins without causing harm. Despite knowing that this is the incorrect method, many people tend to use a lateral in-and-out stroke, which feels more natural for ergonomic reasons.

[0030] Furthermore, it's important to recognize that the human dental structure comprises a wide range of different surface types. One such type is the mostly flat surfaces found on the front teeth of both the upper and lower jaws. Even on these flat surfaces, there are closely spaced interdental areas that are often overlooked during brushing because conventional toothbrushes struggle to reach them effectively.

[0031] As one moves towards the back of the mouth, there are noticeably different tooth surfaces, especially the irregular surfaces of the molars on both the upper and lower jaws. When brushing these molar regions, individuals typically use a diagonal back- and-forth brushing motion. The current toothbrush is specifically designed to efficiently clean these molar regions. Its unique brushing head, with opposing high and low planes, effectively reaches and cleans the peaks and valleys of each molar, especially when brushed in a diagonal back-and-forth direction. OBJECT OF INVENTION

[0032] Another object of the invention is to provide a toothbrush that contacts all the dental regions encountered within the mouth, especially the inter-dental regions.

[0033] Another object of the invention is to provide a toothbrush that stimulates the gum / gingival tissue areas while at the same time effectively cleaning the teeth and gum surfaces using a conventional technique.

[0034] A particular object of the invention is to provide an improved tooth brush which will enable one to brush one's teeth in a minimum of time and with relatively little effort.

[0035] Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a toothbrush with improved characteristics for reaching the entirety of tooth surfaces.

[0036] It is still another object of this invention to provide a tufted cleaning surface on a device which maximizes the contact between the shape of the unit and the object to be cleaned.

[0037] It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a toothbrush having a handle which is ergonomically designed to reduce wrist and hand fatigue while brushing.

[0038] Yet another object of the present invention is to provide toothbrush compared with the current state of the art and solutions wherein embodiments of the present invention are unique, providing: effective oral hygiene with less brushing time; a more correct motion of brushing.

[0039] Another object of the present invention is to provide toothbrush that is capable of brushing the teeth at both sides of the jaw as well as at the front of the jaw in one Smooth, uniform continuous movement.

[0040] Yet another object of the present invention is to provide multi head toothbrush optimized for dimension and shape of brush heads, height and position of bunch of bristles protruded from the respective brush heads to create optimized cavity to accommodate tooth from 360-degrees at one point of time.

[0041] Another object of the present invention is to overcome the challenges inherent in learning and applying recommended brushing techniques and provide an effective technique with a minimum of manual dexterity required by the patient. In addition, the recommended techniques are available, through embodiments of the present invention, to children who might be too young to learn or effectively perform a recommended brushing technique, providing more effective cleaning at a younger age and establishing an early habit of effective oral hygiene.

[0042] Yet, another object of the present invention is to the toothbrush attachment, that can used to brush all sides and surfaces of teeth at the same time in a pushing up and down for chewing motion, provides a cleaning action as close to the well-known and frequently recommended brushing techniques as possible with a powered toothbrush, without requiring the user to learn the technique.

[0043] This summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the Detailed Description. This summary is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the claimed subject matter.

[0044] SUMMARY OF INVENTION

[0045] The invention relates to tooth brushes, and has as its primary object the provision of a tooth brush which insures that substantially all of the surfaces of the teeth will be brushed and cleansed simultaneously. The present invention relates to a toothbrush with three heads that are able to be connected to a handle in such a way that they have the ability to clean independently of one another. This toothbrush also allows for the transfer of energy associated with motion to the brush heads. In this way, vibration or other motion generated by a mechanism located the handle of the brush can be transferred to the brush head, reducing the amount of work that the user has to perform to clean his or her teeth. The invention still retains the benefits of multi-headed tooth brushing by allowing for teeth to be cleaned in a fraction of the time required to clean teeth while utilizing traditional single brush head methods, while avoiding the requirement for a user to perform a back and forth motion user dexterity and the pinching of mouth bodies typically associated with multi-headed toothbrushes. The multi head toothbrush optimized for dimension and shape of brush heads, height and position of bunch of bristles protruded from the respective brush heads to create optimized cavity to accommodate tooth from 360-degrees at one point of time. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the three brush heads form a single unit, each connected to one another through connector arms. In such embodiment, the three heads independently work to clean tooth when pressure is applied to the teeth for a consistent pressure on each tooth independent of the shape of the tooth. For instance, in this preferred embodiment of the invention, consistent pressure is applied regardless of whether the tooth is a narrow tooth such as an incisor, or a wide tooth such as a molar.

[0051] DETAIL DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION

[0052] Before explaining the present invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of the arrangement of parts illustrated in the accompanied drawings. The invention is capable of other embodiments, as depicted in different figures as described above and of being practiced or carried out in a variety of ways. It is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein is for the purpose of description and not of limitation.

[0053] Embodiments of the present invention tackle the challenges of mastering and applying recommended brushing techniques, especially for those with limited manual dexterity. These embodiments ensure effective brushing with minimal manual effort from the user. Additionally, the invention is designed to be user-friendly for young children who may not yet have the ability to learn or perform these techniques properly, thereby enabling better cleaning at an early age and encouraging the development of good oral hygiene habits from the beginning.

[0054] Embodiments of the present invention address the shortcomings of traditional toothbrushes that may not effectively facilitate the Modified Bass Technique or other recommended brushing techniques in hard-to-reach areas of the mouth. This is achieved through toothbrush heads with non-straight edges, which make it easier for users to position the brush into the sulcus. Additionally, the multiple head design, where one or more brush heads are offset from the shaft, allows users to clean difficult- to-reach teeth with reduced interference from the shaft. This design enables the use of the Modified Bass Technique or other recommended techniques more effectively compared to single head designs without offset mounting.

[0055] Furthermore, the toothbrush attachment of embodiments of the present invention adapts to variability in tooth size for effective cleaning throughout the mouth, and accommodates varying user preference for adjustable bristle pressure, through adjustment at the base, adjustment at the head, and adjustment in-between the head and the base. Brush head adjustments, in some embodiments of the present invention, for varying the spacing of components and bristle pressure, help adapt the head spacing and bristle pressure against the surface of teeth to compensate for the variation in overall tooth size and tooth thickness.

[0056] Embodiments of the present invention can be used by the general public, as well as special needs patients, to decrease brushing time and increase efficiency while minimizing technique sensitivity and reducing the level of manual dexterity required of effective tooth brushing.

[0057] Embodiments of the present invention may include: full coverage bristles that fully wrap around the teeth; in some embodiments of the present invention bristles may be angled on the side to more effectively clean both difficult to reach teeth and gums; one or more of an adjustment method to compensate for different sized teeth and user preference.

[0058] Embodiments of the current invention feature a toothbrush head designed to improve cleaning efficiency and reduce the time needed for oral hygiene maintenance. In certain embodiments, the bristle pressure can be adjusted to ensure effective cleaning and user comfort, accommodating variations in tooth thickness and individual pressure preferences. Additionally, some embodiments include automatically adjustable bristle pressure, with further versions allowing this automatic adjustment to be constrained within user-configurable minimum and maximum pressure limits.

[0059] Fig. 1 describes perspective side view of assembly wherein apparatus was in dissembled state and without bristles on the brush pads. The said drawing provided for understanding of position of brush pads in the apparatus. The said design or arrangement of three sided brush pads provides unique cleaning to each tooth despite their position in the mouth. The said arrangement is possible due to side by side placement of brush pads and optimized length of bristles. The pressure excreted on tooth surface and movement of bristle arranged on the U shape arranged brush pads provides notch above hygiene to the tooth inside the cavity of the apparatus.

[0060] For the purpose of this disclosure, bristle pressure is defined as the force between one or more bristle end and one or more surface area. Effective Bristle Pressure includes a range of Bristle Pressure between a minimum Bristle Pressure achieving contact of bristle end with a surface, and a maximum Bristle Pressure bending one or more bristle. Effective Bristle Pressure includes pressure sufficient for bristle contact with a surface up to the bristle pressure sufficient to bend one or more bristle.
