Dyson’s Next Act Is an Electric Toothbrush With a Camera
The company known for stick vacuums and hair dryers is coming for your teeth. The $499 Dyson CameraJet uses a tiny camera to aim streams of rinsing fluid into the gaps between your teeth.
On Tuesday, Dyson unveiled the CameraJet, a dual-purpose electric toothbrush and flosser designed to improve oral hygiene. This innovative device merges two technologies into one, offering a practical solution for maintaining oral health. The CameraJet features an embedded flosser that shoots liquid into the gaps between teeth while brushing.
A built-in endoscope camera, analyzing 28 images per second, applies mouth rinse to targeted areas. This system, dubbed the Gap Optical Targeting system, uses a conical fluid jet that removes plaque more effectively and gently than competing water flossers. The brush head is specifically contoured to cover a greater proportion of the tooth's surface, with firmer and softer bristles designed to accommodate users with sensitive teeth and gums.
Beyond its dual functionality, the CameraJet connects to a Bluetooth-enabled app for real-time monitoring, personalized feedback, and guided cleaning modes. Despite its premium price tag of $499, the CameraJet promises to streamline dental care by combining brushing and flossing into a single, efficient process.
