Brushing your teeth is simple enough that you can do it at any time. Brushing your teeth correctly, on the other hand, is a whole other affair. Simply put, plenty of people do it wrong, causing otherwise avoidable problems. The Amabrush wants to save you from that hassle.

Billed as “the world’s first fully automatic toothbrush,” the darn thing is designed to wear over your teeth, automatically cleaning at the push of a button. More importantly, it does the cleaning correctly, ensuring it removes all leftover food, plaque, and other gunk without doing any damage to your gums.

The Amabrush consists of a toothbrush that’s shaped like a mouthpiece, with bristles on both sides to cover both your upper and lower teeth. During use, it attaches to a battery-powered handle, which vibrates the bristles to move a certain way once you turn the rig on. To use, simply bite into the mouthpiece, press a button on the handle, and wait for ten seconds. That’s it. Just rinse the mouthpiece afterwards and you’re done.

That’s right, the whole thing cleans all of your teeth in just 10 seconds, saving you a whole load of time while ensuring your teeth is properly cleaned each time out. Of course, that time savings comes courtesy of the mouthpiece-style configuration, which allows it to cover all of your teeth in one go, eliminating the need to move the brush from one tooth to another.

If you’re wondering how you’re supposed to put toothpaste on the Amabrush, you don’t. Instead, it uses toothpaste capsules that you put in a compartment on the handle and the device takes care of portioning it every use. According to the outfit, a single capsule can last for over a month of twice-a-day use, so it shouldn’t cost a whole lot more than traditional brushing methods.

To ensure proper brushing technique, the mouthpiece comes with bristles that are directed in a 45-degree angle against the gingival cuff. According to the outfit, this allows it to clean your teeth similar to the “Bass method,” a style of brushing that’s recommended by many dentists. Built-in micro-channels allow toothpaste to be transported throughout the entire mouthpiece, so there’s no need to manually place toothpaste at any point.  The mouthpiece, by the way, comes in a single size, but is made from a flexible and antibacterial silicone material, allowing it to conform to any jaw, provided there are no abnormal teeth displacements.  According to the outfit, the mouthpiece should be replaced once every six months.

The Amabrush’s handle, on the other hand, consists of a round-shaped object that foams the toothpaste, dispenses it to the mouthpiece, and creates the vibrations that cause the bristles to move. All of those functions are powered by a rechargeable battery that should last for up to 28 10-second brushing sessions, making it ideal for bringing during travel.

A Kickstarter campaign is currently running for Amabrush. You can reserve a unit for pledges starting at €79, with replacement mouthpieces going for €6 and each toothpaste capsule going for €3.

  1. will this work if you have peridontal disease?

    Getting your teeth brushed and in only 10 seconds is the perfect toothbrush. It sounds like a late-night infomercial on TV, but it looks like this 10-second automatic toothbrush will work as advertised.

    It might take you longer to connect your Bluetooth to the toothbrush than to actually brush your teeth.

    This toothbrush is really not that expensive when you consider that the handpiece can be shared among multiple people. Buy just one Amabrush and then a mouthpiece for each person in your home and swap them out depending on who’s using it. The mouthpieces are $6 each, so they are more expensive than a traditional toothbrush, but the long-trm costs of dental care can be greatly diminished by properly using your toothbrush. With the Amabrush, if it works like they say it will, near-perfect brushing will occur everytime you turn this on.

    Do you still need to use a regular toothbrush in order to brush your tongue? My dentists suggests that people brush their tongue when brushing their teeth.

    1. Yes, you DO still need to use a regular toothbrush to scrub and clean your tongue. Even with scrubbing your tongue, the process of using the Amabrush will be much faster than using a regular toothbrush for your teeth.

      1. The video. Seeing the video and then reading on how this tooth brush robot was designed to work has me convinced. Will it work? I can’t say it definitely will, but with my engineering background, the product is definitely very feasible.

        1. each person has a different overbite, under bite etc. Each person has different needs depending on how sensitive their gums are. I am not full-sold that this will work as flawlessly as advertised. I understand you are an engineer and see the product as feasible, but you are not a dentist or oral hygienist who may understand specific needs of personalized brushing more fully than we do. I agree this product will probably work, but results and satisfaction with it will vary drastically for each person.

  2. Out of the three toothpaste options, one of them in fluoride-free. I am sick of them adding fluoride to tubes of toothpaste and water supplies. I know the fluoride is only in tap water in low quantities to supposedly keep or teeth clean, but I should have the right to choose not to want a dangerous chemical added to my water.

    1. The American Dental Association said that putting fluoride in water was “one of the safest and most beneficial, cost-effective public health measures for preventing, controlling, and in some cases reversing, tooth decay.” ada .org/en/press-room/press-kits/water-fluoridation-press-kit

      This organization wants healthy oral health for everyone. Are they in on the conspiracy too?

  3. But, I thought the Dentist and scientific research always said it should take a minute or more? Also, what or how about cleaning the tongue – for us smokers out there? It’s reloading “cartridges” or capsules seem pretty economical which is nice. I learned a new word today! (“Gingival Cuff”) Changing the device once every six months seems pretty fair, but will the price double by then once the Kickstarter campaign ends? I feel like that’s true. €3 for a “toothpaste capsule” seems expensive, but considering again that it lasts for a month or more is pretty nice.

    1. With traditional technology, AKA a regular toothbrush, it is suggested that it takes about 3 minuted to properly brush your teeth. It used to take hours to head a few miles by horse and buggy, but now we have cars and interstates that allow us to go the same distance in much less time. Technology often makes things faster to complete, including now brushing our teeth! Cleaning the tongue is still done with a regular toothbrush. The Amabrush even says this in their FAQ.

      You don’t need to change the device, just the piece that goes in your mouth.

      The toothpaste is a tadbit more expensive than buying tubes of Crest or Colgate, but look at how much tube toothpaste goes to waste. We rarely use all of it in the tube, we tend to add too much toothpaste each time and rinse it off into the sink, and the toothpaste that gets dried up on the tips and goes to waste.

    2. If you are a smoker than oral hygiene should be the least of your worries. You are concerned about a clean tongue but are entirely OK with poisoning your lungs and probably giving yourself lung cancer through your smoking? priotities man, what are yours. Why would you value a clean tongue over clean lungs?
