Abstract
The self-contained intraoral appliance includes first and second substantially rigid bands () configured to fit along the outer and the inner surfaces of a row of teeth in the mouth. A motor () driven by a battery is connected to the bands through a connecting assembly (and) in such a manner that one end of the first band moves through a displacement to brush the teeth while the other end remains substantially stationary, and such that an opposing end of the second band moves through a displacement while the other end remains substantially stationary. Brush elements () are mounted on the surfaces of the bands to provide cleansing of the teeth.
