Oral Brushing Devices and/or Methods

Abstract

An oral cleansing device or method, the device including a handle including a housing structure; at least one control assembly disposed within the housing structure; and, a connection shaft assembly including at least a first shaft stemming from the housing structure; and, a first brush assembly adapted to be connected to the first shaft, the brush assembly including bristles for contacting at least the tooth crown and at least one or both of the lingual and bucal tooth surfaces; the control assembly being adapted to provide an oscillatory or vibratory movement to the brush assembly.

1 . An oral cleansing device comprising:
 a handle including:
 a housing structure; 
 at least one control assembly disposed within the housing structure; and, 
 a connection shaft assembly including at least a first shaft stemming from the housing structure; and, 
   a first brush assembly adapted to be connected to the first shaft, the brush assembly including bristles for contacting at least the tooth crown and at least one or both of the lingual and bucal tooth surfaces;   whereby the control assembly is adapted to provide an oscillatory or vibratory movement to the brush assembly.   
     
     
         2 . An oral cleansing device according to  claim 1  wherein the first and second brush assemblies include respective first and second brushes, the first and second brushes including respective first and second deformably elastic, resilient arms adapted to be connected to the connection configuration, the first and second deformably elastic, resilient arms each respectively having first and second brush heads connected thereto;
 whereby the first and second brushes are operatively disposed such that the first and second brush heads are disposed in generally opposing relationship to each other; and, 
 whereby the first and second brush heads each have one or the other or both of respective crown portions and respective side portions. 
 
     
     
         3 . An oral cleansing device according to  claim 1  wherein the control assembly is adapted to provide opposing bi-directional linearly straight motion to the first brush assembly. 
     
     
         4 . An oral cleansing device according to  claim 2  wherein the control assembly is adapted to provide opposing bi-directional linearly straight motion to the first and second brush assemblies.
