LAS VEGAS - Looking for a way to save time in your morning routine? French company FasTeesH is bringing an unusual tooth-cleaning gadget to CES 2020 for just that purpose.
The Y-Brush features 96-cluster nylon bristles that can clean your mouth in just 10 seconds. However, it looks distinctly different from a regular Oral-B brush. In fact, its design is reminiscent of the molds dentists use to cast impressions of teeth.
But instead of plaster, the flexible Y-brush is filled with a toothpaste of your choice. It also comes with an applicator for applying a thin layer of mint; chewing for five seconds cleans the upper teeth, while flipping over and brushing cleans the lower teeth.
Y-Brush launched on Kickstarter in 2018 and surpassed its crowdfunding goal; it shipped to backers before CES and is now available for $125 on the FasTeesH website. It includes a wireless charging dock.
FasTeesH recommends replacing the mouthpiece of the Y-Brush every six months, just like a regular electric toothbrush head. A new one costs $30.
I think a 10-second cleaning is a bit too good to be true, and I would talk to your dentist about reducing brushing time. But if Y-Brush can cut nearly two minutes off your morning brushing time, you'll want to know more.
You can see all of the wildly high-tech new products, including the latest news and hands-on impressions from Las Vegas, at the CES 2020 hub.
