Brushing your teeth seems like a simple daily habit. However, for busy people or those with mobility issues, it can be a burden. To address this problem, the g.eN robotic toothbrush was created, allowing you to clean your teeth simply by placing the device in your mouth, without the need for manual manipulation.

The product was developed using technology from the Robotics Laboratory at Waseda University (Japan). Currently, g.eN is being introduced through crowdfunding on the kibidango platform, attracting the attention of those seeking more convenient oral care solutions.

Unlike traditional toothbrushes, g.eN uses a system of multiple small brush heads controlled by motors. These brush heads move simultaneously in all four directions, reaching both the outer and inner surfaces of the teeth at the same time. This design aims to minimize uneven brushing, a common problem when brushing manually.

Through the program, 1,426 models of applying science and technology have been developed, along with 2,354 advanced and innovative technological processes transferred into practice.

Weighing approximately 220 grams, the device uses a USB Type-C charging port, compatible with current common charging standards. g.eN is equipped with various usage modes, including easy, meticulous, intensive care, and for children, allowing users to choose according to their needs and oral condition.

In addition to the main unit, the product comes with several interchangeable accessories such as separate brushes for the upper and lower teeth, a combined brush for both teeth, and an accessory for stimulating the oral cavity. The interchangeable accessories make the device suitable for a wide range of users.

According to the developer, g.eN has been patented in Japan. The product's cleaning effectiveness was also mentioned in a presentation at the Japan Dental Health Care Association. There, the average plaque retention rate after using the device was recorded at 22.4%, a level considered "good oral hygiene".

With its design focused on minimalist operation and consistent cleaning performance in a short time, g.eN is considered a noteworthy option in the trend of applying robots to personal healthcare.
