You are blissful to the idea, but our ancestors “brush” their teeth using frayed twigs.
Since then, toothbrushes have evolved much, from cow bone handles and pig bristles to hard plastic handles and nylon bristles to electric toothbrushes that we use today.
Now we are seeing the rise of the electric toothbrush in the mouth.
Teeth is said, there is Many ways to ruin it Such a simple act – you don't hit all the spots, you don't make it long enough, and don't do it often enough.
So, one oral surgeon invents 18,000 smart toothbrushes that clean all teeth at once, perform high-tech scans of the mouth, looking for signs of a problem.
“The mouth is the gateway to the rest of the body, and if we take care of it, it will reward us with our overall systemic health,” Dr. Kenny Brown, CEO and co-founder of Pheno, told the oral and maxillofacial surgeon.
“It's not about white straight teeth anymore, it's about overall health.”
According to Brown, many people don't give their teeth the necessary attention and attention.
“Be honest with yourself,” he encouraged the shoppers. “When you can consider the time, pressure, movements and do it over and over and over, do you really feel like you're brushing with the right technique? That's where Pheno comes.”
In other words, FENO SMARTBRUSH ($299), which was released by Brown last summer.
It is in three parts – a U-shaped mouthpiece with about 18,000 nylon bristles, a handle that holds the brush in place, and a charger that sticks to the handle.
Now it looks a little strange. The brush will make your chopper look bigger than life, arajm carry “mask.”
However, it appears to resonate with the male Teckey, who enjoys convenience. He didn't share the customer number, but Brown said his novel gadgets are also based on women.
How does SmartBrush work?
First, take a very attractive photo of your mouth so that Feno can send you a brush of the right size.
The company, headquartered in Culver City, California, has designed mouthpieces using data from over 20,000 mouths to ensure that hair reaches all the right places.
$299 package Mouthpiece, handle, charger, 3 tubes of foam toothpaste, tongue scraper, free month Feno Plus Membership.
After watching the 2-minute video Once the device is charged, the motor is ready.
This process is very simple. Place mint flavored foam between the hairs and press the start button to move the device in a circle. The vibration stopped after 20 seconds and the mouth signal was thoroughly cleaned.
The speed is adjustable – performs up to 250 strokes per 20-second cycle – and Brown said that some patients have chosen to run 20 seconds at the top and bottom of the mouth, respectively.
Users can track oral health with their Feno Plus membership. This is an additional $9.95 a month. The scanner embedded in the handle takes a detailed photograph of the mouth. This is analyzed to provide personalized health insights and coaching.
Brown said the custom report could identify problem areas such as gumline recession, soft tissue lesions and yellowing teeth, but it would not replace a trip to a dentist.
How Pheno stands out
Electric toothbrushes are common It is considered to be more effective More than a manual toothbrush Concerns are raised About the values of U-shaped automatic electric brushes.
Italian Language Study in 2020 -Feno's brushes were released a few years before they went to the market – we decided that these brushes would not effectively remove dental plaque.
“Brushing with an electric U-shaped toothbrush may not be as good as a traditional toothbrush.” Dr. Joseph BlovskySection Head of Pediatric Dentistry for Northwell Health, said in the post.
“The idea makes sense because all teeth are brushed at the same time, but the results may not actually work,” added Brofsky, who was not involved in the 2020 study.
According to Brown, Pheno is more effective than other fully covered toothbrushes. The mouthpiece has a proper size, and the nylon is stronger than traditional silicone hair, and the motor in the device “provides a sweep movement with the right brushing technique.”
What are the drawbacks?
Pheno is not for everyone. Those who have braces or temporary crowns should not try it, Brown also said children under 15 years old because they don't have an adult tooth arch.
People taking the plunge may experience bleeding for 3-5 days after switching.
“What's commonly happening is the brushing area of your gums that you might not have touched that way,” Brown explained.
Users also need a smartphone with at least iOS 11.0 or Android 5.0. Otherwise you'll have a hard time taking pictures of your mouth, downloading apps, and receiving tailored recommendations.
Brown works regardless of technology, and Brown points out that efficient clean is the core purpose, and that the access and awareness offered by AI bells and whistles continues.
Another potential scam is cost. Pheno recommends getting a new brush every three months to prevent bacterial accumulation.
“What we see is that people use it much longer,” Brown said. “It won't collapse and collapse to you, but I recommend three months.”
What's next?
Brown hopes that the product will evolve in several ways.
Adding sizes is a priority to add more sizes to accommodate children, people with missing teeth, and people with braces.
Additional foam flavors are also being tapped. The only product we currently have is mint. This is a medicinal flavor and could turn off the blusher that prefers Froo Froo Flavors.
According to Brown, newer versions of the device will have longer battery life and make it easier to pack into suitcases.
He is also looking to take Pheno to the store and the dentist office.
Beyond the brush, Brown is considering launching other products. Imagine lozenges and mints that can renew your breath – and do something good for your oral health.
“That's what we're playing with,” he said.
