Abstract

A method for producing a mouthpiece toothbrush is provided, in which at least one dental arch of the patient for whom the toothbrush is intended is scanned to generate scan data, or an impression of the dental arch is made. Based on the scan data or the then digitised impression, the dental arch space occupied by the dental arch is recorded. A bristle space is constructed around the at least one dental arch, and a toothbrush moulded piece is calculated, the surface of which facing the dental arch is determined by the dental arch space plus the bristle space. The surface is covered with a bristle carpet.
