ABSTRACT:
Providing the user with a simplified single-procedure approach to self-administered dental-care, achieved through means of a special hand-portable/battery-powered instrument, having a rechargeable-battery and a motor with gear-reduction contained within the handle portion. While preferably detachably-mounted thereto is a special extensile bifurcated structure, provided with lateral adjustability by which to accomodate variations in individual mouth width, while supporting a plurality of motor-driven rotary-brush elements capable of uniformly scrubbing all of the mouth's teeth, away from the gums, inside and out, in a simultaneous single motion fully-automated manner. Hence, the notion of a manually inserted, selectively actuated oral instrument, serving to brush clean the entire inside mouth surfaces of the gums, teeth, and adjoining cheek and tongue surfaces in a rapid simultaneous manner being a substantial advancement, efficiently eliminating reliance upon one's own manual dexterity for effectual daily oral-hygiene.
