Dyson has introduced a high-tech toothbrush named the CameraJet, featuring an integrated macro camera and a built-in mouthwash delivery system, according to reporting by Journal du Geek and TVA Nouvelles. Unveiled on September 1 in Paris by James Dyson, the device marks the British company’s first entry into the oral care market after expanding into household appliances, vacuums, and air purifiers.
Camera Technology and Real-Time AI Cleaning
According to reporting from TVA Nouvelles, the CameraJet is equipped with a tiny camera positioned directly beneath the brush head that connects via Wi-Fi to a smartphone app, allowing users to view the interior of their mouth in real time. Journal du Geek specifies that this is a macro camera. The system pairs the visual hardware with an artificial intelligence algorithm trained on dental images, built with 16 million lines of code. TVA Nouvelles reports that the algorithm analyzes up to 28 images per second and detects interdental spaces in under 100 milliseconds. Once an empty space is identified between teeth, the brush automatically projects a jet of mouthwash to clean the zone, combining brushing and flossing into a single maneuver. Journal du Geek adds that the device utilizes a stroboscope at 257 Hz to synchronize the camera lighting, while the brush head performs nearly 1,000 movements per second.
Hardware Design, Pricing, and Ecosystem
The physical construction of the toothbrush incorporates a dual-bristle layout, featuring soft exterior bristles for gumline cleaning and firmer center bristles to target surface tooth stains, as reported by TVA Nouvelles. Journal du Geek notes that the device uses a pressurized reservoir to deliver mouthwash regardless of the device’s angle, and each brush head includes an RFID chip to track usage cycles and indicate when replacement is needed. According to Journal du Geek, the complete ecosystem includes a specialized non-foaming toothpaste required to keep the camera lens clear, mouthwash available in Mint Ginger and Green Mint variants, and a 3-in-1 charging dock that refills the water reservoir. Dyson states that the device removes 58 percent more plaque than a manual toothbrush and yields up to 13 times better gum health, though Journal du Geek notes the company promises no images are stored locally or in the cloud. Priced at $499 USD according to TVA Nouvelles—or 479 € according to Journal du Geek—the CameraJet is available immediately in ceramic blue and ceramic pink. Both outlets highlight that the recurring purchase of proprietary consumables like specialized toothpaste, mouthwash, and replacement heads will add ongoing costs for users.
