Oral-B has built a smart toothbrush that hopes to use artificial intelligence to improve the hygiene of its users.
The brush connects via Bluetooth to a smartphone app and uses artificial intelligence and a combination of sensors to know where you are brushing and how to improve your technique.
Dubbed the Genius X, it can provide customers with precise data as to which teeth are being neglected and when you are pushing down too hard.
Prototypes were unveiled at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona and pricing has yet to be announced.
