Tooth Guardian is a high-tech toothbrush that illuminates the mouth, displays photographs of one’s teeth, and cleans itself using UV light.

Everyone’s mouth contains bacteria. These days, people seem to be paying more attention to oral hygiene – not only to prevent tooth decay and to keep the mouth clean, but also to meet standards of social etiquette. Tooth Guardian is a toothbrush that has been designed for busy modern people. It allows one to examine the condition of their teeth as part of their brushing routine.

The tip of the brush is equipped with a micro CCD (charge-coupled device) and an LED. The CCD allows a photograph of the teeth to be taken and simultaneously displayed on a screen at the side of the bathroom mirror. When the CCD is turned off, the side screen changes from image to mirror. The LED is activated automatically to illuminate the mouth when the CCD is used.

The device is also equipped with UV light that sterilises the brush before use. It prevents the propagation of microbes in the brush. The UV light is triggered automatically when Tooth Guardian is placed on its charging seat. The bristles can be replaced when they are worn out.
