From hands-free brushing tools to 3D-printed toothbrushes, consumers have been introduced to a great range of innovative oral care products over the past few years—and at CES 2019, Procter & Gamble shared a revolutionary new solution in the form of the Oral-B Genius X toothbrush with artificial intelligence.
The AI electric toothbrush boasts the ability to recognize how individual users brush their teeth and provide tailored feedback accordingly. As a result, users are able to better care for their oral hygiene by becoming more aware of their habits or areas of the mouth that they may be neglecting.
The toothbrush is set to be available to consumers as of the fall of this year and will be paired with a travel case that can charge both the brush and a USB device like as a smartphone.
