Abstract:

The Hydro Clean Auto Floss provides a molded mouth-guard type mouthpiece configured in a U shape to conform to the contours of a set of human teeth, having a trough to receive the teeth, further comprising an irrigation water flow component at the front thereof consisting of an attachable tubing apparatus, allowing users to floss all of the teeth by means of pressurized water, at once, whether at home or on the go. A series of small circular openings are positioned along the perimeter of the mouthpiece, serving as the egress for water. At the front of the mouthpiece is positioned the attachment point for the irrigation water flow component. The irrigation water flow component comprises one central inlet nozzle, and two outlet nozzles, positioned on each side of the inlet nozzle. All of these nozzles are designed to receive tubing by means of a force fit. At the opposite end of the inlet hose is a spout adapter that is configured to accommodate most sink faucets.

Abstract:

A flossing device cleans inside a mouth and essentially uses a water jet rather like a string of dental floss, to accomplish removal of particles between teeth. The device includes a mouthpiece that fits over the teeth. Advantageously no suction pump, nor power source, is included or needed in the device, which can be attached to a standard faucet. The device receives water from a standard faucet, which water exits the device from multiple holes in the mouthpiece.
