Dyson unveils $500 AI toothbrush that streams live camera feed from inside your mouth

A brand new AI toothbrush has joined the market, with targeting tools that enable you to see what is happening inside your mouth.

The new device is being launched by Dyson who unveiled the CameraJet™ electric toothbrush today (September 1).

The high-tech toothbrush will be able to live stream from inside your mouth, which you can view from your phone.

It uses a 100k pixel macro lens camera powered by Gap Optical Targeting™ to identify gaps between teeth. It will then precision-floss as you brush, helping to remove and prevent plaque build-up.

How to use the new Dyson AI toothbrush

According to Dyson, all you need to do is apply toothpaste, hold the device horizontally and then turn the power on.

From there, the camera will ‘scan your teeth and detect gaps in real time’, while a conical jet ‘delivers targeted bursts of liquid, gently removing plaque between teeth as you brush’.

Dyson continues: “Move slowly using small oval motions to support accurate gap detection. See your clean live in the MyDyson™ app, with real-time footage and guidance.

“When finished, dock to charge and refill with Dyson Low-foaming anticavity mouth rinse in seconds.”

Using a connection to the MyDyson app, users can literally see what’s happening while they brush, with the firm describing it as being able to ‘see what your dentist sees’.

It also offers guided cleaning, coverage mapping and data insights.

However, the smart device doesn’t come cheap as it will set you back by $499, and while some argue that is too expensive for a toothbrush, others might say it’s a small price to pay for oral health.

Many people have taken to social media to share their own reactions to the new device, with one user writing on Reddit: “I don’t know, something that flosses me instead of that one disgusted lady at the dentist who does it once a year may be a game changer.”

Another said: “And runs ads while you spit.”

A third person commented: “Just another way to pillage our bodies for data to be sold to some 3rd party. Another node in the mass surveillance web they are building. Another point of vulnerability for hacking. Another unnecessarily complicated appliance with more hardware and software based points of failure that can cause it to break or stop working as intended.”

And a fourth joked: “Headline next week, ‘Flock accesses toothbrushes’.”
