Abstract: The various embodiments described herein include methods, devices, and systems for customizing dental care. In one aspect, personalized toothbrush devices are 3-D printed for a plurality of users. A 3-D dental model of a respective user's mouth is obtained, and a configuration for a mouthpiece of a respective personalized toothbrush device is determined. The respective personalized toothbrush device is 3-D printed, and includes a top cleaning tray, a bottom cleaning tray, and a set of cleaning elements, each customized based at least in part on the 3-D dental model of the respective user's mouth. Each personalized toothbrush device is 3-D printed for each respective user of the plurality of users, and is different from every other user's personalized toothbrush device.

Abstract: The various embodiments described herein include methods, devices, and systems for customizing dental care. In one aspect, a personalized dental care device includes a first customized mouthpiece including a top cleaning tray and a bottom cleaning tray, each customized based at least in part on an electronic 3-D dental model of a respective user's mouth. The personalized dental care device includes one or more power mechanisms, configured to couple with the first customized mouthpiece, and to transmit energy to at least one cleaning tray of the first customized mouthpiece. The personalized dental care device is configured to be operated in a plurality of modes. Each respective mode of the plurality of modes is associated with a different method for providing oral care.

Abstract: The various embodiments described herein include methods, devices, and systems for customizing dental care. In one aspect, a dental care device is customized for a particular user, including: (1) a support plate having: (a) a first portion configured to be inserted into a mouth; and (b) an attachment mechanism configured to attach the dental care device to a drive assembly; and (2) an elastomer (elastic polymer) portion enclosing the first portion of the plate, the elastomer portion including a plurality of cleaning tips and shaped in accordance with dental details of the particular user.

Abstract: The various embodiments described herein include methods, devices, systems, and associated coupling mechanisms for customized dental care. In one aspect, a dental device is customized for a particular user, including: (1) a mouthpiece assembly including: (a) a dental mouthpiece; and (b) a male connector; and (2) a drive assembly including: (a) an actuator; and (b) a female connector. The male and female connectors facilitates the correct alignment and orientation, and also efficiently transfer vibrations from the drive assembly to the mouthpiece assembly.

Abstract: The various embodiments described herein include methods, devices, and systems for creating customized dental care. In one aspect, a method includes obtaining a dental model of a particular user's teeth and determining, based on the dental model of the particular user's teeth, a configuration for a set of cleaning elements to be included with the toothbrush device. The method further includes forming the toothbrush device for the particular user based on the dental model of the particular user's teeth, whereby the toothbrush device includes: (i) a cleaner body, personalized for the particular user based on the dental model of the particular user's teeth, that defines a cleaning cavity shaped for receiving the particular user's teeth, and (ii) the set of cleaning elements, integrally formed with the cleaner body, that contact and clean the particular user's teeth during application of the toothbrush device, whereby the cleaning elements have the determined configuration.
