The press release includes an image of a person brushing and looking at an image of their teeth on a phone. If you are actively brushing with toothpaste, the quality of the image will likely be as good as an unprepped colonoscopy.

It’s unlikely to yield any actionable information, other than scratching the pimple-popping gross-up itch.

On second thought, I am now half-expecting a home colonics device from Dyson. Easy setup… just lay down on your side in your bathtub.

    > This includes a proprietary non-foaming toothpaste, formulated without SLS (a common foaming agent)
    to help keep foam out of the way so the camera can see clearly and support Gap Optical Targeting™,
    alongside a low-foaming mouthrinse formulated for use with the precision jet

Toothbrushes are a crappy device. I’ve seen some stuff lately that’s like a whole mouth brush, like a mouth guard. With a small pipe to the mouth guard feeding water, you can pretty much car wash your mouth every morning in 60 seconds. Sloshing water around in your mouth often creates way more pressure allowing water to go through the gaps in your teeth (cleaning them). But the waterpik sellers will convince you that isn’t true.

That’s the problem with highly skillful people that follow tradition. I’m sure the engineers are brilliant behind this (camera toothbrush designers), but they are still following tradition of this old idea.

Anyways. Sometimes you have to trust that you are well beyond tradition and are free to redefine all rules. Be fearless.

Hmm, they didn't go with CamJet..

What a stupid design. The jet stream can't even reach last back teeth.

I have a Waterpik Fusion 2.0

Sometimes I’ll add mouthwash or hydrogen-peroxide to the tank, it works well. Usually I start with a quick rinse, then a brush with the flosser on, then a finishing brush with the flosser off.

I see this and am unsure if it’s over-engineering a less effective solution. It’s neat, but I can’t say it excites me; am curious to see reviews and comparisons. The form factor does seem a bit odd though, visually it’s mediocre imo.

The year is 2031, the Meta LlamaBrush won't start until it's played a 30s unskipable ad for Doritos spearmint.

I saw this on X and assumed it was well done satire of the current state of the industry.

Thought I read elsewhere that if these get dirty they are essentially blowing dirty water into your gums, which can cause health problems

tools like this almost need the same level of sanitization you would see at the dentist.

other than that, I am very interested

I don’t even see how you can share direct to TikTok with this? Or have they got their own social network for toothbrushing? Can I use this to talk with someone using the Dyson ActiveDouche?

> Dyson CameraJet™ runs on 16 million lines of code

Yikes...

100K Pixel lol I guess 0.1MP doesn't sound impressive

Idk that is kind of trippy to see your own teeth in real time as you brush them

Meh. My toothbrush engine has around 100 trillion pathways in the neural network and sophisticated vision and motor capabilities.

Also it didn't push Brexit for years then piss of to Singapore.

I appreciate that whoever is approving naming at Dyson doesn't care about making boring names.

- Pencil Fluffycones

- Ball Animal 3 Extra

- V16 Piston Animal Submarine

These are real product names that they were happy to ship. I like that they ship these absurd sounding names.
