# Double Sided Toothbrush More Efficient Oral Hygiene By Howard Wu | Published 2008-06-12 | Special Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/double-sided-toothbrush-why-not-be-more-efficient References: [japaninc](http://www.japaninc.com/article.php?articleID=762) There is now a [double-sided toothbrush](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evogrip) for those compulsive about their [oral hygiene](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hahatec-self-sanitizing-toothbrush). One look at this nifty little idea provoked several questions in my mind, as the rat kept running faster on his treadmill. Among others, the thoughts including: Why not? Why hasn't this been invented before? How could it possibly be worse than a regular toothbrush? Did I miss the infomercial? Which celebrities would make the best before & after commercial for this? Is there an [electric version](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laifen-wave-special)? What kind of ridiculous alternative use can this have? How much time can this really save? Would this be much more expensive to produce? Would it appear first in a movie or a music video? ARE ANY OF YOU GOING TO BUY THIS? I'm sure these questions will all be answered in due time. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 88% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Special](https://www.trendhunter.com/special) > [Reviews](https://www.trendhunter.com/reviews) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Double-sided Toothbrush:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in oral hygiene products - **Efficient Oral Hygiene:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in dental care routines - **Alternative Use for Toothbrush:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in multi-purpose oral care products ### Where This Applies - **Oral Hygiene Products:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the oral care industry - **Dental Care Routines:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the dental care industry - **Multi-purpose Oral Care Products:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the personal care industry ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Quick Cleaning Electric Toothbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-y-brush.md) - [Automatic 360 Toothbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonic-brush-v5.md) - [Stand-Up Water Fountain Toothbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Youseeuc.md) - [Dual-Purpose Oral Care Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-oral-care-kit.md) - [Self-Sanitizing Toothbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultim8-smartbrush-system.md) - [Flossing Electric Toothbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soocas-neos.md) - [Compact Curved Toothbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curve-sonic-toothbrush.md) - [Performance-Driven Toothbrush Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toothbrush-design1.md) - [Auto-Caring Toothbrush Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zera-sonic.md)
