Shake-a-Brush Adds Vibro Function to Normal Toothbrushes
The Shake-a-Brush from iTouchless seems a strange concept right from the start: it customizes your normal everyday toothbrush into a battery powered vibrating one. You can buy battery powered brushes already can't you? And, ok, electric toothbrushes may be expensive, but they're also designed to cleverly clean your teeth, and shake-a-brush will just, um, shake your brush. Ah... now we understand: it's a highly moddable gadget, perhaps? If you have a big stockpile of toothbrushes ready, it's available now, but costs $39.95. [iTouchless via Chipchick]

Some of us may dabble in being funny to go along with our tech knowledge, but professional comedian Stephen Fry actually knows a thing about both fields. Today he reviews the Oral-B Professional Care Triumph, which has a special tech that allows it to wirelessly show how long you've been brushing each corner of your mouth and rate it according to what dentists recommend. He loves it. He also loves the idea of turning something mundane into something exciting via technology, and wants it to go further.

Solar Toothbrush Version 2.0 Packs Twice the Punch of Original
When Canadian researcher Dr. Kunio Komiyama first rolled out his solar toothbrush, its light-gathering titanium dioxide rod must not have released enough plaque-busting electrons. Now the good doctor has announced the updated Soladey-J3X, which he says "packs twice the chemical punch compared to the original." More »

Sonicare FlexCare Toothbrush Reviewed (Verdict: Expensive, But Worthwhile)
We brush our own collective teeth with an older model Sonicare, which is why their FlexCare update with UV radiation seemed like a sure bet at improving what's already great. JJ from BBG stuck one in his mouth a couple times for 2 minutes each and found that it's cheaper to replace than before, stronger (with the new Massage mode), easier to cram into corners, and all in all a great buy at $180—unless you already have an old model and feel like waiting for a price drop. We agree. [BoingBoing Gadgets] More »
you missed a bit
If an electric toothbrush isn't high-tech enough for you, then you could kick it up a notch with the Triumph with SmartGuide. The brush monitors how you are cleaning your teeth - time, area and pressure, and sends that information back to a base station. This base station, which can be stuck on a bathroom mirror, then tells you where and for how long you should be focusing in order to get a thorough and even brushing.

Biodegradable Source Toothbrush Saves The World One Head At A Time
In their quest to save our dying planet, ecologically concerned people are often forced to make sacrifices. If you're compelled to join them, you can start by getting rid of that fancy superstore toothbrush and replace it with the Source Toothbrush, an environmentally friendly hygienic tool constructed from wood fiber and a special plastic made from Nebraska corn. Its replaceable heads also feature the world's first "radial bristling" for maximum plaque-busting power. Nobody says you have to have bad breath to be a tree hugging hippie. $7.95 [Source Toothbrush via UberReview]

Oral-B's Triumph Keeps Your Chompers Clean by Telling You How to Brush
We got the chance to play with Oral-B's new Triumph electric toothbrush this afternoon. The $149 brush comes with a palm-size wireless display (it uses RF technology to communicate) that provides real-time feedback as you're brushing so it lets you know how much time you've spent brushing and also what quadrant of your mouth you should be brushing.

VIOLight's Toothbrush Sanitizer
Remember that episode of Seinfeld where Jerry dropped his girlfriend's toothbrush into the toilet (played by Sex and the City's Kristin Davis, incidentally) and he never told her? If he had this VIOLight, he wouldn't have had to throw out the entire contents of his apartment. More »

Ultreo Toothbrush Uses Ultrasound Waves to Kill Teeth Goblins
The $150 Ultreo toothbrush is a bit different than that $1.99 jobber you scrub the hooker's spit off your teeth everyday morning. This toothbrush uses a combination of ultrasound waveguide technology and precisely tuned sonic bristle action to keep those pearly whites white. Usually I don't say this about crazy products, but I am kind of sold. Something about using ultrasound waves and vibrating bristles seems like it would do a better job cleaning my teeth than a regular toothbrush. If it will keep me away from the dentist, then that $150 price tag may be well worth it. More »

TiFinity Titanium Toothbrush: Like a Metal Scouring Pad for Your Teeth
If you're one of those do-gooders who follows your dentist's every whim, changing out your toothbrush every two months, then the TiFinity titanium toothbrush might be for you. Its inventor says it lasts ten times longer than ordinary toothbrushes, and keeps all those deadly bacteria at bay, too. But who wants to brush their teeth with metal bristles? Well, these titanium alloy bristles have supposedly "amazing properties."These super elastic memory filaments of the bristle material constantly rebound instantly during brushing allowing for better penetration of the bristles in to the hard to reach areas between teeth and under gums!Right when we first saw it, we assumed this must be some sort of status item. The big question is, how much does it cost? Take a look at this larger picture of the toothbrush, and find out:

Exclusive Video: Hasbro Tooth Tunes MP3 Toothbrush
Hasbro's Tooth Tunes toothbrushes have an MP3 player built in. Ya, they use bone-conduction to rattle the sound through your teeth for 3 minutes, making sure you brush for the American Dental Association's recommended time. The bristles are a bit hard, the head a bit small, and the handle sucks for reverse grip action, but I found it pretty damn cool to brush my teeth while listening to Black Eyed Peas. I wish you could swap songs, but they've got a pretty good variety of music. Gallery below, video above, and 18 song list, Including the Rocky theme, KISS, Queen, and Destiny's Child, after the jump.
