Toothbrushes are getting smarter!
Even though it is not the first connected toothbrush on the market, like Kolibree and Grush, which use games to attract kids, Oral B is the first to really target adults and is more precise and serious about a humans dental care.
Oral B SmartSeries cost around $160 and is today available in Europe and in the USA. The toothbrush connects to any smartphone thanks to a specific Oral B app and gives you the opportunity to manage your brushing through the app.
Once the Oral-B app launched, a watch appears on the screen counting down two minutes and tells you every 30 second to change the mouth corner. It even indicates you which part to brush.
Indeed, the toothbrush cannot really know if you are brushing the right part but it can judge the pressure. The toothbrush has a sensitivity sensor, which tells you if you are brushing your teeth too hard or too soft.
The Oral B app offers various information and option. It tells you everything about the way you should brush your teeth and how to take care about your mouth. You can also program your dentist informations and visits.
Companies, above all Procter & Gamble announced future, newer and cheaper Bluetooth brushes with more features, by adding other sensors... Kolibree for example has already a sensor, which tells you what part of your mouth needs to be taken more care of. So, the competition is tight and companies are looking for more innovations to break through.
For now, people who cannot afford a $160 Bluetooth brush, can manually use the Oral B app with any Oral B electric toothbrush to get an idea of the system.
