Problems solved by technology

There are several disadvantages for this kind of conventional toothbrush.

First, almost all of the brushing bristles are vertically extending at the brush head so that when the user uses the toothbrush, the angle between the brushing bristles and the user's teeth may not be such that the brushing bristles can effectively remove the dirt trapped in the user's gum.

Consequently, even though the user brushes his teeth in a regular basis, there is a high chance that the user may nevertheless develop tooth decay simply because the toothbrush fails to clean the dirt in the user's gum.

Conceivably, it is impossible for everyone to follow this proper brushing practice.

The result is that conventional toothbrushes are generally ineffective in preventing tooth decay.

Although these toothbrushes are in general more effective in prevent tooth decay than conventional manual toothbrushes, they are far more expensive than conventional toothbrushes and many people simply cannot afford to buy one.

Thus, those who are still using conventional manual toothbrushes are at risk from tooth decay and other associated oral diseases.
