About Toodo Dispositivo de Higiene Bucal

Toodo é um dispositivo inteligente de higiene bucal concebido para adultos entre os 18 e os 40 anos de idade. O bocal é fabricado em gel elastómero de poliuretano, um material altamente deformável que se adapta à superfície de cada dente sem recorrer a cerdas. Uma placa de vibração sónica e uma bomba libertam na boca um gel de limpeza especializado, enquanto uma luz fria integrada ativa o agente oxidante do gel para branquear os dentes. As partículas de carvão presentes no gel acrescentam uma ação de limpeza física. Após a utilização, o dispositivo é enxaguado e colocado num estojo para desinfeção e carregamento.

Toodo works with a specialized cleaning gel that is co-developed with chemical compounding company and sonic vibration motor board to achieve both chemical and physical cleaning. Through the cold light embedded the motor board to activate the oxidant with the cleaning gel to whiten teeth.
Design Challenge: Considering the circumstance of the environment factor of the product and user experience, both device and travel charging cases need to fulfill the basic requirement of life waterproof and dustproof. Through fine-tuning and modifying every part of the product to optimize for the tooling and molding process, the product set eventually meets the IP56 standard.
Research: Bristle is the culprit for damaging gum and enamel. Users need to learn to use the Bass Method for effective cleaning, but because of the various stiffness of the bristle and different habits for different users, bad habits will eventually cumulate to cause serious oral issues.

The most traditional way of cleaning the oral cavity is using a toothbrush; however, the bristle structure is the breeding bed of nourishing bacteria.
Project Duration: Started 2017 in Syraucse and finished full functional prototype in 2019.
Operation Flow: The user bites on the mouthpiece, and the device automatically starts to operate. The cleaning gel is pumped by the pump through the vibration motor board to the user’s oral cavity; the cold light illuminates the oxidizing agent to activate the whitening; the carbon particles in the gel work with sonic vibration for physical cleaning.

After use, the user spits out the gel and rinses the mouth. The device is rinsed with water and placed in a case for disinfection and charging, ready for next use.
