Toothbrush & visual aid for oral hygiene
1. The purpose of this innovation.
This innovation is the toothbrush, which gives the additional of capability of checking the inner mouth with a light & mirror function combined all in one, instead of separate mirror & light & brush.
1. The usual problems from brushing of teeth.
For years we have had the problem that after cleaning our teeth there are still particles of food left between our teeth especially in had to reach or see areas of the mouth which will lead to discomfort I the mouth & tooth or gum decease if not removed.
This innovation is aimed at both adults & children alike as all suffer from is.
3.The previous solutions.
Have been toothbrushes with angled brush heads, flexible brush heads, incorporated tongue cleaners hand operated & electrical toothbrushes,
But none have given us the complete views of the way we've cleaned our teeth Sc gums as soon as we've finished brushing other than using yet another apparatus.
4. The solution.
The main aim of this innovation is make a better toothbrush by the addition of light & mirror fitted to the back side of the head of the brush, the power to the light would be a battery fitted into the handled with a rubberised push on button located on top side of the handle this to ensure connection for the power for the light the contact wiring would be fitted within the body of the brush the battery would be none replaceable so the battery would have operate for a period of around 3 months normal life of recommended of a normal toothbrush the bulb would be a small LED type of bulb which would have to fitted to head, the mirror would have to be bevelled to enable view whilst checking if possible to be anti-misting.
5. Aim of this innovation.
This innovation should be a long term marketable item for oral hygiene with the possibilities of being enhanced in the future with other function of digital camera lens when they can be made small enough to fit the back of toothbrush head & connection to PC via USB cable for actual time pictures of any problems found with teeth or gums which could be sent to dentist to view problem & advise people in rural areas this would save long trips to dentist unless necessary.
