Three Dimensional Brush

Abstract

A revolutionary three-dimensional brush, specifically designed to maximize performance and provide complete and comprehensive coverage to each surface of the user's teeth on the occlusal, buccal and lingual side. The maximum potential of this brush is accomplished by the three brushes, each covering a different area of the tooth surface in one stroke. The flexibility of the wing allows the brushes to expand and contract in accordance to the diameter and shape of the teeth. When cleaning the front teeth, the brushes will be more contracted, whereas when cleaning the molars, the brushes will be more expanded. Each brush, the lingual, buccal and occlusal contains bristles specifically arranged in evenly spaced rows to allow for a sweeping motion which provides a powerful cleaning to the cervical gingival and proximal gingival areas. This is in contrast to current brushes which contain bristles that are rigid and have no space causing them to pile up together lacking free movement. In addition, the bristles themselves are also arranged in such a manner as to form a conical shape to allow the bristles to reach high cervical and proximocervical areas removing hard to reach plaque while gently massaging the gums. During use of the toothbrush the wing of the head expands and contracts freely in accordance with the circumference and shape of the teeth. The brushes cover the occlusal, buccal, lingual areas while the shape and distance between the bristles allows for coverage of the cervical and proximal hard to reach areas.
