Abstract
A method () for determining a brushing angle of an oral care device () is provided. The method includes the steps of: generating (), by a controller () of the oral care device, a drive signal to move a drive train () and produce a motion of a bristle field () of the oral care device; measuring (), via a sensor (), force applied by a user to the bristle field of the oral care device; and determining (), by the controller of the oral care device, a brushing angle of the bristle field relative to a surface of the user's oral cavity based at least in part on the generated drive signal and the measured force to the bristle field.
