US20230363872A1
Water Pik Inc

Patent overview

This patent pertains to a brush head system that integrates a sonic toothbrush and a water flosser. It controls the motion of the brush bristles and the water flow, achieving effective oral cleaning. The nozzle is extendable and can accurately direct the water flow along the gum line. It can be separated from the water supply on the electric handle, allowing it to be used as a standalone toothbrush.

Unique aspects of the patent

  • Combination of sonic vibrations and water flow
  • Extendable design of the nozzle
  • Flexibility to disconnect the water supply

Traditional issues

Conventional toothbrushes have difficulty completely removing plaque and food particles, especially in between teeth and along the gum line. Moreover, proper cleaning using an appropriate water flow is necessary to maintain gum health, but conventional toothbrushes lack this function, requiring the use of a separate water flosser. This results in inconvenience, as users must manage multiple devices, lowering usability.

Solution

This patent addresses the challenges of conventional toothbrushes by providing a brush head system that combines sonic vibrations and water flow. The sonic vibrations cause the bristles to vibrate, effectively removing plaque and food particles. Additionally, water flow is supplied through a fluid pathway, enabling cleaning along the gum line. This eliminates the need to manage multiple devices and enhances convenience.

Patent features

  • Technology that can remove plaque with sonic vibrations
  • Technology that can clean the oral cavity with water flow
  • Technology that can maintain gum health
