Rinser Toothbrush
As its name implies, the Rinser Toothbrush was designed to combine the actions of brushing and rinsing into one simple implement. The Rinser Toothbrush looks similar to conventional toothbrushes, except that it has a reservoir and channel in the handle designed to collect water from your sink and then shoot it back up in a controlled spout towards your mouth. The Rinser is a great way to save on Dixie cups and streamline your daily tooth brushing sessions. It also features a button that allows you to control the flow of the spout and a removable head that can be replaced without having to buy a new toothbrush.
Binchotan Toothbrush from Morihata
Binchotan is a kind of charcoal made in the Kishu region of Japan that is created by “burning oak branches at extremely high temperatures for several days and then rapidly cooling them.” Binchotan is known for its ability to absorb chemicals in water and nullify offensive odors. With these unique properties in mind, the Japanese company Morihata went to work to create a toothbrush that integrated binchotan into the design. Each of the bristles in this toothbrush is blended with binchotan, allowing it to disinfect your mouth and keep bad breath at bay.
The Open Source Toothbrush
Here we have a toothbrush designed in a truly 21st century fashion by Goodwell & Company. The designers at Goodwell sought to create a toothbrush that would help people brush better, and effectively eliminate the waste associated with disposable brushes. The handle consists of a hollow tube of medical grade aluminum, and the head is a biodegradable bamboo attachment that can be safely and easily disposed of. You could even use it as compost for your garden!
The toothbrush can also be outfitted with a Hacker/Tracker kit that fits into the hollow handle. This toothbrush peripheral has a 3-axis motion tracker that allows you to monitor your brushing habits with a mobile app or website. Because the software and hardware are both open source, any interested parties can develop future apps to use the technology to its fullest. In addition to the Hacker/Tracker kit, the Open Source Toothbrush can also be modified with a number of swappable head options including a flossing head and binchotan bristle head.
