  • Publication number: 20250143854
    Abstract: A toothbrush apparatus and system designed to simplify the cleaning of all surfaces of the teeth, by simplifying the brushing process to a single motion performed on the top and bottom rows of teeth, and thereby by reducing the cognitive difficulty of learning the brushing task. Simplification is accomplished by using a unique brush head that wraps around the teeth to cover the inside, top, and outer surface of the teeth at once, while a pivot mechanism with a restorative force component attaches the brush head to the brush stem, and allows the brush head to rotate about itself. These two elements combine to allow the brush head to glide around the teeth like a train on a track as the brush is moved around the mouth.
