Your toothbrush may be the next device in your home to get a camera.

Camera-equipped toothbrushes have emerged as one of oral care’s most unexpected technology trends. Instead of just timing a brushing session or monitoring pressure through an app, these devices let users see inside their mouths and identify areas that may need more attention.

The toothbrush handle has its own display, so I didn’t need to keep my phone beside the sink throughout the process. The screen provides scanning guidance, brushing modes, captured images, and feedback. Users can also connect the device to the Usmile app through Bluetooth.

Using it took some adjustment. Most people are accustomed to brushing largely on autopilot, relying on time and technique rather than seeing individual surfaces up close. The camera forced me to slow down and pay closer attention to areas that can be difficult to inspect in a bathroom mirror.

The experience was also humbling.…
