  • the tooth cleaning devices with dental impression trays and driven brushes are mechanically and constructively very expensive.
  • dental cleaning devices with a dental impression tray and nozzles do not achieve satisfactory cleaning of the teeth, since plaque and the biofilm adhering to the teeth can only be removed by very high water pressure, which then increases Injury to the gums would result. Therefore, it works with relatively low water pressure.
  • the object of the invention is to improve the dental cleaning device of the type mentioned in that with a constructively low cost gentle yet effective tooth cleaning can be performed.
  • the tooth cleaning device according to the invention is based on a dental impression tray for the upper and lower jaw and contains for upper and lower jaw a flexible, hardenable dental impression material as well as a drive device which sets the dental impression tray in mechanical vibrations.
  • the user fills in a new tooth cleaning device, the recesses or cavities of the dental impression tray for upper and lower jaw with a curable dental impression material, then takes a dental impression of upper and lower jaw and leaves the dental impression material harden.
  • the dental impression material is of the type that it still has a flexibility even after curing. Biocompatible silicones or other flexible impression compounds are preferably used for this purpose.
  • the dental impression material is composed of two layers, namely a first matrix and an overlying fine layer, which adapts even better to the tooth surface. After curing of the matrix, the user fills the molded cavities with the material of the fine layer, which is, for example, liquid silicone, and takes a second impression, which then forms the fine layer.
  • the user fills in the cavities of the dental impression a dentifrice, puts the dental impression tray in the mouth, closes the mouth so that upper and lower jaw teeth engage exactly in the cavities of the dental impressions and turns on the drive device.
  • the entire dental impression tray and thus also the flexible dental impression material get into mechanical vibrations, which not only clean the teeth perfectly and evenly, but also massage the gums.
  • the mechanical drive device places the dental impression tray in linear oscillations in the plane of the dental impression tray, so that a simple electromotive drive device can be used, such as a motor vehicle. an eccentric motor, a drive device with an oscillating armature or another vibration device with an imbalance mass.
  • a simple electromotive drive device such as a motor vehicle.
  • an eccentric motor a drive device with an oscillating armature or another vibration device with an imbalance mass.
  • the drive device can also be driven in other ways, for example, by water power with a small water turbine, which is connected to a faucet in the bathroom. Also, the drive device may be integrated in the dental impression tray.
  • a dividing wall of the dental impression tray which separates the areas between the upper and lower jaws, is provided with apertures, so that the flexible, hardenable dental impression material passes between the areas of the upper and lower jaw through these openings and is thus better anchored in the dental impression tray, which significantly prolongs the life of the tooth cleaning device.
  • the dental impression mass is introduced into the cavities of the dental impression tray so that it projects beyond its edges. This ensures that the flexible dental impression also comes into contact with the gums and this massaged and that injuries of the gums are avoided by the harder edge of the dental impression tray.

  • the dental impression material 8 largely conforms evenly to the teeth 13 and contacts them over the entire area, the result is an excellent cleaning result, whereby interdental spaces between adjacent teeth are largely cleaned and also the gap between teeth and gums and thus at least parts of so-called tooth pockets. Also, the gums are massaged and by vibration collagen fibers of the periodontium are strengthened.
