A group of dentists and engineers have created a toothbrush that they claim will perfectly brush your teeth in six seconds.
The Blizzident[1] is a 3-D printed toothbrush modeled after the user's teeth. To snag one, users must get a dental impression, then have it sent to a dental lab for Blizzident to access and create the toothbrush.
To brush your teeth, users stick the Blizzident in their mouth, then bite and grind on the device for six seconds. Users can even attach dental floss to the Blizzident.
According to the website, the advantages of Blizzident go beyond saving time. "You brush all the difficult-to-reach and interdental regions without even having to think about it," reads an excerpt from their website.
There's one downside to having such sparkly teeth: the Blizzident is expensive. First, Blizzident's website says the process of getting the dental impression to the company costs between $75-$200. Then, users spend $300 to get their Blizzident, along with annual bristle replacements at $159.
