By utilizing the existing water pressure from your shower hose, ARC eliminates the need for electricity or batteries, offering a sustainable and hassle-free solution for water flossing. Its ergonomic design includes a replaceable 4-way water stream head, ensuring thorough cleaning between teeth and along the gum line. Users can customize the water pressure to their preference, allowing for a gentle or more intensive flossing experience. When not in use, ARC can be neatly stored in its compact, moisture-resistant storage station, keeping it easily accessible while maintaining cleanliness. By incorporating water flossing into a familiar setting, ARC encourages consistency, making it easier to develop and maintain a healthy oral care routine.

The device functions using minimal energy, relying on the water pressure from your shower.
Kev Sib Tw Tsim Qauv: The biggest challenge was designing the mouthpiece to be both comfortable and effective with the water stream technology. I used myself as a test subject, experimenting with different shapes and looking at mouthguard designs for inspiration. I also prototyped various designs using 3D printing to test the fit and comfort. The goal was to create a mouthpiece that allowed the water to reach all areas of the mouth without discomfort or splashing, ensuring a smooth and effective flossing experience.

Press the multi-function button to switch between different water streams, and glide the floss head along your teeth for a thorough clean. The device can be easily stored in the compact, moisture-resistant storage station when not in use.
