Another embodiment relates to a system for brushing the teeth of a person, comprising: 15 a. a flexible teeth tray configured to at least partially encapsulate one or more of the teeth in a flexible substrate material, the flexible teeth tray comprising a plurality of shockwave electrode pairs configured to controllably transmit shockwaves to the one or more teeth to disrupt material which 20 may be coupled to the one or more teeth and b. a controller operatively coupled to the plurality of shockwave electrode pairs wherein subject to an input from an operator, the controller is configured to cause plurality of shockwaves to be directed against one or more surfaces of the 25 one or more encapsulated teeth, to clean the one or more teeth.
