The invention is an apparatus for cleaning and examining human teeth. The apparatus uses a clamping mechanism to position itself between the teeth (figure 0) and a number of brushes, sensors and actuators to enable the efficient cleaning and monitoring of the teeth. The apparatus is sitting between the upper and lower row of teeth and is capable of moving along the row of teeth to the left or to the right. The actual teeth cleaning process takes place with the help of six brushes. Two actuators adjust the location of the outer brushes using sensor signals. A wireless communication module enables communication to external devices. An electric motor and a battery pack provide power to the brushes, the actuators, the crawler wheel, the wireless module and the sensors. The main parts of the apparatus (figure 3) is the crawling wheel, the brushes, the electric motor, the battery pack, the sensors and the wireless communication module. A micro controller coordinates and runs programs relating the individual parts of the apparatus. The purpose of the apparatus is the efficient cleaning of teeth, the examination of teeth and other diseases with use of sensors and communication to external devices. |
