Oral-care device and system

Abstract

A device with two or more regions configured to clean or treat a working surface is disclosed. Preferably, the device is an oral-care device with a power cleaning head. The power cleaning head comprises two or more regions, wherein at least one of the regions is configured to move and wherein at least one of the regions comprises a squeegee element. Preferably, the regions are configured to independently rotate, oscillate, vibrate or otherwise move while cleaning teeth and gums and can each include bristles, nodules, squeegee elements, or any combination thereof.

1 . A device comprising a cleaning head, the cleaning head comprising: 
 a) a first region with a first squeegee element configured to treat a working surface; and    b) a second region with bristles configured simultaneously treat the working surface,    wherein at least one of the first region and the second region is configured to move independently of the other of the first region and the second region.    
   
   
       2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the second region further comprises a second squeegee element.  
   
   
       3 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the first region further comprises bristles.  
   
   
       4 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one of the first region and second region is configured to vibrate, rotate or oscillate.  
   
   
       5 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the first squeegee element comprises top wiping squeegee edges and side wiping squeegee edges.  
   
   
       6 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the first squeegee element comprises a squeegee wall that encircles an inner squeegee region.  
   
   
       7 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the second region comprises a second squeegee element.  
   
   
       8 . The device of  claim 7 , wherein the second squeegee element comprise top wiping edges and side wiping edges.  
   
   
       9 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising a motorized handle configured to detachably couple the cleaning head.  
   
   
       10 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein a portion of the first squeegee element is corrugated, rounded, angled or pointed.  
   
   
       11 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising nodules protruding from the cleaning head.  
   
   
       12 . A device comprising a motorized cleaning head, the motorized cleaning head comprising: 
 a) a squeegee member with an elongated squeegee wall and a plurality of fin structures protruding from the elongated squeegee wall; and    b) bristles.    
   
   
       13 . The device of  claim 12 , wherein the elongated squeegee wall is curved.  
   
   
       14 . The device of  claim 12 , wherein the squeegee member is configured to vibrate, rotate or oscillate.  
   
   
       15 . The device of  claim 12 , wherein one or more of the plurality of fin structures are curved.  
   
   
       16 . The device of  claim 12 , wherein the elongated squeegee wall encircles at least a portion of the bristles.  
   
   
       17 . The device of  claim 12 , wherein the elongated squeegee wall is surrounded by at least a portion of the bristles.  
   
   
       18 . The device of  claim 12 , further comprising nodules.  
   
   
       19 . The device of  claim 12 , wherein at least a portion of the motorized cleaning head is configured to vibrate, rotate or oscillate.  
   
   
       20 . A cleaning device comprising: 
 a) a first section configured to vibrate; and    b) a second section configured to oscillate,    wherein the first and the second sections comprise bristles.    
   
   
       21 . The device of  claim 20 , further comprising one or more squeegee wiping elements.  
   
   
       22 . The device of  claim 20 , further comprising one or more nodules.  
   
   
       23 . The device of  claim 20 , further comprising a handle.  
   
   
       24 . The device of  claim 23 , wherein the handle is configured to detachably couple to the first section and the second section.  
   
   
       25 . A device comprising a cleaning head comprising: 
 a) a first wiping region; and    b) a second wiping region, wherein the first wiping region surrounds the second wiping region and the first wiping region and the second wiping section are configured to move independently from each other, wherein at least one of the first wiping region and the second wiping region comprises a squeegee element.
