Abstract

Embodiments are described wherein a system for brushing the teeth of a person comprises a master input device; a flexible teeth tray configured to at least partially encapsulate one or more of the teeth in a flexible substrate material, the flexible teeth tray comprising one or more vibratory transducers removably coupled to one or more brushing panels; and a controller operatively coupled to the master input device and the one or more vibratory transducers; wherein subject to an input from the master input device, the controller is configured to cause reciprocating brushing motion of the one or more brushing panels against a surface of the one or more encapsulated teeth, to clean the one or more teeth.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A system for brushing the teeth of a person, comprising:
 a. a flexible teeth tray configured to at least partially encapsulate one or more of the teeth in a flexible substrate material, the flexible teeth tray comprising one or more vibratory transducers removably coupled to one or more brushing panels; and   b. a controller operatively coupled to the one or more vibratory transducers;
 wherein subject to an input from an operator, the controller is configured to cause reciprocating brushing motion of the one or more brushing panels against a surface of the one or more encapsulated teeth, to clean the one or more teeth. 
   
     
     
         2 . A system for brushing the teeth of a person, comprising:
 a. a flexible teeth tray configured to at least partially encapsulate one or more of the teeth in a flexible substrate material, the flexible teeth tray comprising one or more shockwave electrode pairs configured to controllably transmit shockwaves to the one or more teeth to disrupt material which may be coupled to the one or more teeth; and   b. a controller operatively coupled to the one or more shockwave electrode pairs;
 wherein subject to an input from an operator, the controller is configured to cause one or more shockwaves to be directed against one or more surfaces of the one or more encapsulated teeth, to clean the one or more teeth.
