But brushing your teeth doesn’t just have to be a manual chore—digitizing your products can not only make the mundane process fun, it can also make your teeth cleaning more effective. “It’s not a question of how often you brush your teeth; it’s how well you do it,” agrees Marc Lowenberg, DDS, dentist at Lowenberg, Lituchy & Kantor in New York City. “If you’re not one who is good with keeping up with it, oral tech can really help.” Case in point: According to Dr. Lowenberg, you need to be brushing twice a day in circular motions for 30 seconds per quadrant, holding the brush at a 45-degree angle where the tooth meets the gum and applying the right pressure to effectively clean your mouth (yeah, nobody does this). With an electric toothbrush, all you have to do is hold the thing and let the timed vibrations do their job. And we’re not just talking about toothbrushes here. Today’s oral products (including chewable toothpaste, water flossers, tongue cleaners, and more) have become even more advanced with fancy tech, innovative functions, and eco-conscious elements. If you’re ready to level up your frayed toothbrush and squeezed-to-death toothpaste, we compiled the best oral products on the market to transform your routine.
