The Statistics
Children deserve help.
OVER 50%
of children aged 6-8 have at least 1 cavity in 1 baby tooth. (CDC 2024)
OVER 62%
of parents admit that their children had difficulty brushing their teeth. (EJHS 2024)
Forget to floss
Don’t brush long enough
Miss certain areas
Children often
All mistakes that can lead to tooth decay.
Current market products are outdated. They don’t guide the child in brushing where and when or remind them to floss.
It’s time to look at the full picture instead of just duration.
Inspiration
Overall tooth-like shape
Soft curves
Footed base
Soft light from the core
Shell frames light
Simple outer shell
Iteration
Continued to refine a playful, rounded form language inspired by the iconic shape of a tooth.
Development
The final iteration features a top swoop that functions as the toothbrush holder.
The light sequence indicates where the user should brush their teeth
Arduino Nano
smaller design
LED Rings
LED Strip
distance detection
effective glow effect
Components
adjustable length
IR Sensor
Smaller electronic components were selected to achieve a compact internal layout, allowing all elements to fit efficiently within the device’s form.
