A Worldwide team of dental prophylaxis experts who are trying to improve and facilitate tooth brushing have implemented 3D printing technology in creating “Blizzident”.
Blizzident is a new tailored toothbrush which cleans the teeth automatically. At first glance it looks a bit like hairy pair of dentures. The brush maker’s says that it cleans teeth completely within six seconds. The makers use best 3d printer creates the brush itself. They use dental can to create a CAD model of the brush ,which is converted into a 3d object using STL ,a method in which liquid plastic is curved into a shape with an ultraviolet laser.The bristles are then attached to the object.
All Blizzident-bristles are tailored to your own teeth. They are placed on the surface of your teeth in a 45 degree angle. They are also aligned exactly along your gumline in a 45 degree angle.
To tailor the brush to a person’s mouth,dentists take a digital scan of the teeth.The makers of use that scan to determine the optical placement of 600 bristles by simulating biting and chewing movements.The bristles resemble normal toothbrush bristles but are much finer and tapered to reach the gumline better.
3D printing long ago moved from being theoretical to a reality and in recent years 3d printers have become cheaper to produce several models which are available for sale with designs. Experts predict reprap 3d printers will be common in homes in the recent years.
