Apparatus for buffing teeth by removing tiny tooth surface scratches to enable teeth to shine

Abstract

An apparatus for buffing and washing teeth comprising a handle, pad, and buffing material. The handle provides an elongated body. The pad comprises a bottom portion and a top portion. The bottom portion has a flat configuration and the top portion has a flat or concave or convex configuration. The buffing material mounts at top surface of pad, and takes the shape of the top surface of the pad. The bottom portion removably mounts to the handle. The apparatus allows to buff teeth after brushing with toothbrush. User uses apparatus in dry or wet condition. User holds handle and places buffing material against the teeth and moves buffing material back and forth over surface of teeth to remove tiny scratches left on surface of the enamel. Buffing material removes/reduces stains on enamel and smoothens/shines teeth. Buffing material presents a thick configuration and mounts to handle without need for the pad.

         9 . The apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein said pad comprises one of a flat, concave and convex surface, and wherein said buffing material takes the shape of said pad. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein said pad is made of material that is not susceptible to water or moisture absorption. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein said pad comprises a support member, said support member allows to connect said pad and said handle. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein said handle comprises slots, said slots receive the fibres from said buffing material and allow to tie said buffing material to said handle. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said buffing material removably connects to said handle using one of a snap mechanism, adhesive, a hook and loop mechanism, and a fastener. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said handle comprises a head portion and a neck portion, wherein said buffing material removably connects to said head portion. 
     
     
         15 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said apparatus is a teeth cleaning device, said handle of said teeth cleaning device comprises bristles at one end and said buffing material at the other end, and said bristles allow brushing of the teeth and said buffing material removes tiny scratches remaining on the surface of the enamel of the teeth that the bristles would have left on the surface of the enamel after brushing. 
     
     
         16 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said buffing material removably connects to said handle in a bent or tip-like structure configuration to buff or clean rear of the teeth. 
     
     
         17 . An apparatus for buffing teeth, said apparatus comprising:
 a handle;   a buffing material; and   a pad placed between said handle and said buffing material, said buffing material takes a shape of a top surface of said pad, wherein a user holds said handle, places said buffing material in a dry condition against teeth and moves said buffing material back and forth over the surface of the teeth to remove tiny scratches remaining on a surface of an enamel of the teeth that a toothbrush would have left on the surface of the enamel after brushing, and said buffing material cleans the teeth, reduces or removes stains on the enamel and smoothens and shines the teeth.   
     
     
         18 . The apparatus of  claim 17 , wherein said buffing material is made of one of fibers, a synthetic material, cotton terrycloth, cotton muslin, a cloth, leather, polyvinyl acetal sponge, and a non-woven or synthetic porous material. 
     
     
         19 . The apparatus of  claim 17 , wherein said pad comprises one of a flat, concave and convex surface, wherein said pad is made of material that is not susceptible to water or moisture absorption, and wherein said pad comprises a support member, said support member allows to connect said pad and said handle. 
     
     
         20 . An apparatus for buffing teeth, said apparatus comprising:
