Basically, this technique involves holding a standard toothbrush at about a 45° angle relative to the surface of the teeth such that a portion of the bristles clean the teeth while another portion
- toothbrush rotate his or her wrist at about a 45° angle while at the same time using the short back and forth strokes required by the Bass technique on both the front and back
- toothbrush is used. For example, if one eats breakfast at about eight o'clock and brushes
- the present invention is a toothbrush for easily implementing the Bass brushing
- the toothbrush has a generally cylindrical handle which is oversized to enhance manual dexterity and to make gripping of the handle more comfortable for the user.
- the generally cylindrical handle has a flattened portion along its length against which the thumb and fingertips may be rested so as to firmly hold the handle at a fixed
- a rotation means Connected to the handle is a rotation means to which a variety of interchangeable stems may be connected, all of which have a head of a different size, bristle arrangement, or geometrical configuration.
- the rotation means is adapted so that it may be selectively positioned at one ol a plurality of locations about the longitudinal
- the Bass brushing technique may be implemented by attaching a stem with a preferred head shape to the rotation means and adjusting the rotation means so that the bristles are aligned at a 45° angle relative to the
- the stem and head are bendable so that they may be repositioned to obtain the most effective alignment and brushing angles for the particular user of the toothbrush.
- the head connected to the stem may be replaced with a dental floss holding device for storing dental floss and for mounting a length of dental floss thereon allowing one to floss the areas between teeth.
- the handle of the toothbrush may be formed of a rubberized material which is slightly depressed when force is applied thereto
- a ventilated storage container for drying toothbrush bristles in a protected environment may also be provided.
- Yet another object of the present invention is to provide an oral hygiene system allowing for interchangeable toothbrush heads of different configurations which, when used over a period of time, insure that all surfaces of the teeth are cleaned during
- Still another object of the present invention is to provide an oral hygiene system
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a complete oral care system

- Figs. 6b and 6c are side views of the bendable toothbrush head depicted in Fig.
- the present invention is a toothbrush for implementing the method of brushing teeth which is recommended by the American Dental Association (ADA), i.e., the Bass
- the technique involves holding a toothbrush at approximately a forty- five (45) degree angle relative to the surface of the teeth with about half the bristles touching the teeth and the other half touching the gums while gently moving the toothbrush back and forth in short (half-a-tooth-wide) strokes.
- Fig. 1 shows the complete oral care system of the present invention mounted in a transparent storage container 30 having a plurality of
- the storage container 30 provides a convenient means of drying toothbrush bristles and guards against bacterial contamination which frequently occurs when a toothbrush is simply placed on a
- the base of the storage container 30 may be provided with appropriately shaped notches (not shown) and shelves 32 to accommodate the bottom portions of the various components of the oral care system.
- the oral care system includes a padded handle 20 which has a larger diameter
- the larger handle 20 requires less rotational turning about the longitudinal axis of
- the handle 20 is generally cylindrical in shape having a cross section which is predominantly circular (about one inch in diameter) except for a generally flat portion defined by a chord of the circular cross section of the handle. As better shown in Fig. 3, the generally flat portion extends along almost the entire length of the handle 20 and provides a convenient surface against which one's thumb and fingertips may be placed while brushing.
- the handle 20 is preferably formed of a "squeezable" material which deflects slightly when a gripping
- the toothbrush of the present invention may be formed with a flat portion and grips on both the front and back (not shown) of the handle to aid in more firmly grasping the handle, particularly when the handle is wet.
- the "double-sided" configuration one is enabled to implement the Bass brushing technique in
- the grips 34 may be arranged either vertically or horizontally as depicted in Fig. 3.
- the provision of multiple raised sections or grips 34 on both the front and back of the handle 20 permit the
- a rotating disk 22 Attached to the top portion of the handle 10 is a rotating disk 22 which is
- teeth cleaning implements such as a toothbrush head or dental floss holder formed at the end of a support stem.
- rotating disk preferably has a fixed portion which is secured to the handle 20 and a
- a stem 16 may be placed in the rotating disk so that the plane defined by the tips of the tufts of bristles 14 on the head 12 is generally parallel to the flat portion of the handle.
- toothbrush head 12 may be rotated in 45 degree increments. However, it will be clear to those skilled in the art that other angular increments may be utilized while still permitting implementation of the Bass brushing technique. For example, 1 degree or 15 degree increments may be used. With such an arrangement, the toothbrush head 12 can easily be
- the stem 16 of the toothbrush 10 of the present invention is bendable so that the stem 16 and head 12 can be positioned at any fixed position
- the stem 16 may be provided with a centrally located wire 18 of a size and stiffness sufficient to maintain the head 12 and stem 16 configuration selected by the user of the toothbrush 10 while at the same time withstanding the forces applied to the head and stem during brushing.
- the stem 16 is connected to the handle 20 by snapping the stem 16 in place on the rotating disk 22 preferably with small flexible projections on the bottom of the stem extending through appropriately sized apertures formed in the rotating portion of the rotating disk 22.
- One or more circular indentations 36 are provided at the base of each stem 16 to assist in
- the toothbrush 10 of the present invention includes a plurality of detachable stems 16 with heads 12 of different sizes and shapes containing
- Fig. 5c shows a large oval-shaped head
- Fig. 5d shows a small oval-shaped head
- Fig. 5e shows a generally
- Fig. 5b shows a generally rectangular shaped head wherein the tip to of the head is more narrow than the base of the head in the shape of a truncated triangle.
- three of the head designs shown have soft bristles while a fourth toothbrush head has hard bristles which are especially effective for occlusals.
- the present invention also includes a tubular stem 28 to which a generally U-shaped dental floss holder 26 is attached.
- the tubular stem 28 of the dental floss holder 26 is tubular in construction so as to accommodate a roll of dental
- a dental floss cutter 38 is attached to or formed in the side of the tubular stem 28.
- the tubular stem 28 is attached to the handle 20 in the same manner as described above with respect to attachment of the stems 16 which have toothbrush heads 12 with bristles 14.
- the stem 16 may include a plurality of small projections or bars on its bottom portion which are shaped to fit into a
- the stem 16 is locked in place by inserting the bars into the grooves and rotating the stem 16 until the stem is locked in place.
- the stem 16 is flexed and formed to the preferred lateral displacement
- the toothbrush 10 is then moved into a
- Some of the fingertips may also be positioned on the flat portion of the handle.
- the stem 16 and head 12 are rotated 45 degrees upward (Fig. 2c).
- the toothbrush 10 is now in position to implement the Bass brushing technique by applying toothpaste to the bristles 14 , placing the bristles of the toothbrush against the teeth and gums and using
- the dental floss holder 26 may be attached to the handle 20 and the teeth flossed in a conventional manner (Fig. 2d).
