What is an AI-enabled electric toothbrush?

How AI works for brushing

AI-powered sensors

AI works by collecting information from your brushing, such as time, pressure, and the areas you clean. It then analyses these patterns to spot missed areas and possible brushing problems. The app shows this feedback in a simple way, helping you improve your brushing technique and clean more effectively.

Data analysis & feedback

Patients can use the application to view how the AI-enabled system analyzes brushing data—such as position, duration, movement, and pressure—to identify missed areas or brushing blind spots and provide immediate, actionable feedback. Improved plaque removal may result from this feedback, but most studies do not show that the app directly detects plaque

 

 

How is it different from a regular toothbrush?

Unlike a manual toothbrush or a standard electric toothbrush, an AI-enabled toothbrush can provide personalised feedback. Its main advantage is not just cleaning the teeth, but helping users understand where they may be missing spots or using the wrong technique.

Benefits for patients

Enhance oral hygiene

This helps to improve oral hygiene and enhance the daily cleanliness around teeth, gums, brackets and wires. It can reduce the accumulation of plaque, lower the risks of gum inflammation and tooth decay, and maintain oral health during orthodontic treatment.

Reduced risks

This may help reduce the risks of plaque buildup, gum inflammation and tooth decay during orthodontic treatment.
