High-tech toothbrush brushes teeth in less than 66secs

The latest high-tech toothbrush on the
market is a monstrous, gnarled mold filled
with hundreds of bristles and thin,
zigzagging lines of floss. It looks absolutely
terrifying, but its maker, Blizzident, says it
should have a revolutionary level of
efficiency, claiming it'll take just six seconds
to properly brush your teeth when using
one.
Though the prospect of putting the
company's eponymous toothbrush in your
mouth may seem horrifying, Blizzident says
it should fit perfectly, and it really ought to:
its toothbrushes are all custom-made to
precisely form to the shape of each
customer's mouth. Molds are all created by
taking a 3D scan of someone's teeth, and
then modifying a toothbrush to fit around
them. They're then 3D printed as a plastic
mold and embedded with about 400
bristles.
While Blizzident's speed claims may seem
unlikely, it has a reasonable enough
explanation for how they're achieved: its
toothbrush is cleaning an entire mouthful
of teeth at once. The toothbrush is meant
to be bitten down and grinded on, while
the bristles — all pointed directly toward
your teeth at 45 degree angles — quickly
swipe away at grime. A circular handle on
the front of each toothbrush doubles as a
storage holder for floss, which Blizzident
says can be looped perfectly between each
tooth thanks to form-fitting hooks that it
builds into the mold.
Though you'll have to provide your own 3D
scan, Blizzident is already starting to sell
the toothbrushes. Your first brush will cost
$299 to account for both printing and
customizing the model. And naturally, you'll
need to replace it as the bristles wear down
— Blizzident suggests about once per year
— though it's only charging $159 for
additional brushes. It's a wild idea
nonetheless, though whether the brush can
live up to its lofty claims of quick and
thorough dental hygiene is another matter
entirely.
