Dyson CameraJet: The toothbrush that flosses your teeth with a camera and a jet
Dyson CameraJet: The only toothbrush with a camera and a jet
Dyson has unveiled the CameraJet, the first toothbrush with an integrated camera and jet that targets plaque between teeth. Using machine learning, the 100k-pixel macro lens scans 28 images per second to detect gaps and fires a conical burst of mouthrinse to floss while brushing. Developed over six years, it features anti-stall bristles, an anti-gravity tank, and Wi-Fi connectivity for live viewing in the MyDyson app. The system includes toothpaste and mouthrinse, launching September 1, 2026.
Flossing is an awkward and time-consuming chore. Few of us do it even though we know we should.

The press release includes an image of a person brushing and looking at an image of their teeth on a phone. If you are actively brushing with toothpaste, the quality of the image will likely be as good as an unprepped colonoscopy.
It’s unlikely to yield any actionable information, other than scratching the pimple-popping gross-up itch.
On second thought, I am now half-expecting a home colonics device from Dyson. Easy setup… just lay down on your side in your bathtub.

Toothbrushes are a crappy device. I’ve seen some stuff lately that’s like a whole mouth brush, like a mouth guard. With a small pipe to the mouth guard feeding water, you can pretty much car wash your mouth every morning in 60 seconds. Sloshing water around in your mouth often creates way more pressure allowing water to go through the gaps in your teeth (cleaning them). But the waterpik sellers will convince you that isn’t true.
That’s the problem with highly skillful people that follow tradition. I’m sure the engineers are brilliant behind this (camera toothbrush designers), but they are still following tradition of this old idea.
Anyways. Sometimes you have to trust that you are well beyond tradition and are free to redefine all rules. Be fearless.

The year is 2031, the Meta LlamaBrush won't start until it's played a 30s unskipable ad for Doritos spearmint.

I have a Waterpik Fusion 2.0
Sometimes I’ll add mouthwash or hydrogen-peroxide to the tank, it works well.
Usually I start with a quick rinse, then a brush with the flosser on, then a finishing brush with the flosser off.
I see this and am unsure if it’s over-engineering a less effective solution.
It’s neat, but I can’t say it excites me; am curious to see reviews and comparisons. The form factor does seem a bit odd though, visually it’s mediocre imo.
