Do you remember being told that you need to brush at least two minutes for oral hygiene and that also twice a day. For those people who find this a chore, the latest 3D technology has come up with a short-cut method . This technology gives you a new brush, which does the job in just 6 seconds.
A new 3-D printed toothbrush called Blizzident has been devised, which can clean your teeth thoroughly in six seconds.
Each brush consists of 600 bristles and it takes almost 12 weeks to develop a single brush. Users need to bite the brush and grind the teeth together for it to do its work. "It was the intention of the designers to make toothbrushing as easy as biting into an apple" Chris Martin, a Blizzident spokesman, told Mashable.
This time saving brush comes along with a tongue brush and one can attach floss on the device as well and take complete care of their mouth.
It is a custom-built toothbrush, designed to suit every individual's need. Dentists' impressions or scans of the teeth are used to create a 3D impression of one's set of teeth and a suitable brush is then devised.
The Blizzident brush is expensive and costs about $300 and the dental impression charges are around $75 to $200. This brush can be used for over a year and a replacement will makes your wallet $159 lighter. The brush can also be sent back to the dental lab for sterilizing and to replace the bristles, which will amount to about $89.
This brush is time saving compared to the regular toothbrushes. This mouth guard has been designed with the aim of providing complete care to the dental health of the users.
