Revolutionizing Dental Care: Thera Oral by Ela Pincu

Award-Winning Teeth Whitening Device Redefines Dental Procedures

Ela Pincu's inspiration for Thera Oral was to create an easy-to-use, intuitive interface that enables effective treatment by hygienists, with minimal time commitment from dentists. The result is a fully automated system that offers real-time control to deliver consistent results with superior safety.

What sets Thera Oral apart is its unique properties. It is a fully automated multi-disciplinary intra-oral delivery system that offers teeth whitening, gum therapy, tooth sensitivity treatment, and fluoride. The system automates the mixing, heated delivery, and removal of treatment gels for teeth and gums with Pulse Wave Technology.

The realization of Thera Oral combines different processes and technologies. The outer shells are made of fiberglass using Resin Injection Technologies, while smaller components are made of various types of plastic and silicon using injection molding. Despite the complex technology, the device maintains a small system footprint, easily integrating into any dental office.

Thera Oral's interaction is as unique as its design. Using Mavrik's patented gum guard, the patient can be ready for the procedure in fewer than 30 seconds. The procedure comprises 10 six-minute cycles followed by a one-minute "jacuzzi wash." Built-in sensors control the flow rate, vacuum, and temperature. When the whitening is complete, the machine washes away any waste, and the dentist has not had to handle any materials during the procedure.

The design process of Thera Oral was a journey that started in 2014 in Israel and ended in 2017. It involved extensive research, including market and competitive products analysis, references, look and feel inspiration considering emotional needs and trends analysis, environment and space analysis, and ergonomics and user experience aspects of both patient and doctor.

Thera Oral is a testament to Ela Pincu's commitment to creating an intuitive and elegant design that can easily be adopted and integrated into every dental office. It is a device that not only simplifies dental procedures but also ensures superior safety and consistent results.
