Description

teeth whitening tool

technical field

The present invention relates to a tooth whitening tool, in particular to a tooth whitening tool that can achieve the effect of whitening teeth through a simple and economical process of whitening and polishing teeth without the assistance or application of dental professionals .

Background technique

Teeth become stained with contact with coffee, tea, juice, tobacco or other foods. There are roughly three basic approaches to removing this layer of dirt and whitening your teeth. The first method requires one or more visits to the dentist’s office to clean the teeth professionally; the second method is to use a household bleaching kit at home; the third method is to use a whitening toothpaste Slowly whiten teeth, with the accumulation of habitual brushing to achieve the effect of whitening teeth.

The first method is the most expensive, but the most effective. Scaling and bleaching in the examination chair requires one or more visits to the dentist's office, and each visit can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. During a chair bleaching procedure, the dentist applies a protective gel or rubber sleeve over the gums to protect the soft tissues of the mouth, and then applies bleach to the teeth. Certain procedures may use special light, such as a laser, to intensify the effects of the bleach. This first method requires taking time out from work or your regular daily routine to schedule one or more appointments with the dentist, requires an in-person visit to the dentist's office, and spends 30 minutes during the session to an hour, which does not include waiting time, and requires a large fee for the course of treatment.

The second method is much cheaper than going to a dental clinic. Users can purchase home-use bleaching kits from local pharmacies or drugstore counters, and clean their teeth at home. These products contain hydrogen peroxide, which can bleach tooth enamel. Most of these products rely on a certain proportion of carboxamide peroxide as a bleaching agent. Generally, the concentration of carboxamide peroxide on the market is 10%, 16% % and 22%. These products are typically marketed as jelly and placed in a mouthguard, although the actual method of application varies from product to product. Some products are used twice a day for about two weeks, while others are used overnight for one to two weeks. If the at-home bleaching kit is purchased at a dentist's office, the dentist may provide a custom-made mouthguard. This method has several different side effects that can bother users. Teeth can become very sensitive during the user's use of the bleaching solution, and some users may experience soft tissue inflammation due to the mouthguard not fitting properly, or from the solution coming into contact with soft tissue. Furthermore, the whitening effect of this method is slow, and it needs to be in contact with the bleach for several hours at a time. A delicate process, the mouthguard can be very uncomfortable to wear if the dentist does not order it properly (which is an expensive procedure). In addition, general mouthguards can inflame the gums if not installed properly.

The third method is the least effective but also the cheapest. All toothpastes can help remove dirt from the tooth surface in a gentle buffing action. Some toothpastes that emphasize whitening have special chemicals or abrasives to provide additional dirt removal, however, this method is minimally effective and requires daily use for a good period of time.

Contents of the invention

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a low-cost tooth whitening tool that does not require the assistance and application of professionals.

A second object of the present invention is to provide a tooth whitening tool in which the tip of the applicator can be easily manipulated within the limited confines of the oral cavity and can contact all surface areas of each tooth.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a tooth whitening tool that can be applied quickly and easily, and can have a positive effect within about 7 to 24 days, depending on the severity and type of staining.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a tooth whitening tool which leaves a smooth and shiny surface on the tooth surface after each cleaning.

The present invention is a tooth whitening tool utilizing a simple and economical process of whitening and polishing teeth without the assistance or application of a professional dentist. The present invention comprises a cotton swab applicator comprising in its hollow configuration a liquid activator of a tooth whitening compound in the form of a solid powder by releasing the liquid activator into the tip of the cotton swab applicator , and contact it with the solid powder tooth whitening compound, and then apply the cotton swab applicator to the tooth surface to whiten and polish the teeth.

The liquid activator may comprise pure water, or may comprise a solution in water consisting of glycerin and artificial or natural flavors in a predetermined ratio. The tooth whitening compound comprises a mixture of magnesium peroxide and aluminum oxide in a predetermined ratio.

Please refer to the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the present invention and the accompanying drawings, so as to further understand the technical content and the purpose and effect of the present invention.

Detailed ways

Please refer to Fig. 1, which is a teeth whitening tool provided by the present invention, including a cotton swab applicator, which has a hollow tube housing 1, and the hollow tube housing 1 has one or two absorption tips 2. The tip 2 is connected to one or both ends of the hollow tube housing 1, wherein the hollow tube housing 1 includes an activator 3 in liquid form which is combined with a tooth whitening compound 4 in solid powder form touch. The preferred embodiment of the present invention uses the cotton swab applicator manufactured and sold by Swaplus Corporation of Rancho, California, USA, however, other methods that allow liquid activator 3 to be filled in hollow tube housing 1 and can be used Design of the cotton swab applicator that releases to the absorbent tip 2.

The liquid activator 3 in the hollow tubular housing 1 can be water, deionized water, or a solution of water and a compatible aqueous composition such as glycerin, which can prolong contact with the tooth whitening compound 4 time, and to compensate for the dilution effect of saliva. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the solution contains 50% water, 49.9% glycerin and 0.1% artificial or natural fragrance.

The tooth whitening compound 4 is a mixture of solid peroxide and aluminum oxide. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the tooth whitening compound 4 is a mixture of magnesium peroxide and aluminum oxide, which is 85% A combination of magnesium peroxide and 15% aluminum oxide. Magnesium peroxide is an oxidizing agent that whitens teeth, while aluminum oxide is a polishing agent that cleans and polishes the tooth surface.

When the liquid activator 3 in the hollow shell 1 is released to the absorption tip 2 of the cotton swab applicator and absorbed by the absorption tip 2, the absorption tip 2 will be filled with the activator 3; The absorbent tip 2 of the applicator, in physical contact with the tooth whitening compound 4 powder, the saturated absorbent tip 2 coats the tooth whitening compound 4, and the activator 3 in the absorbent tip 2 reacts with the tooth whitening compound , and activate magnesium peroxide. The activated tooth whitening compound is then rubbed onto the tooth surfaces to whiten and polish the tooth surfaces. The activated magnesium peroxide oxidizes the dirt and whitens the teeth, while the aluminum oxide acts as a polishing agent to clean and polish the tooth surface to a smooth and shiny surface. All compositions of the present invention are safe to human body.

The present invention has the advantages of very low cost and no need for professionals for its application. The tip 2 of the applicator is designed to be easily maneuverable within the limited confines of the oral cavity and to reach all surface areas of each tooth. This teeth whitening tool is quick and easy to apply and will have positive results in about 7 to 24 days depending on the severity and type of stains. After each cleaning, tooth surfaces are left with a smooth and shiny finish.

The above detailed description is a specific description of a feasible embodiment of the present invention, but this embodiment is not used to limit the patent scope of the present invention, and any equivalent implementation or change that does not depart from the technical spirit of the present invention shall be Included in the patent scope of this case.
