Life just suddenly got all that more convenient. Introducing Blizzident, a $300 toothbrush that’s specifically tailored to your own teeth. Just stick it in your mouth and let the bristles do the rest.

Blizzident utilizes two intersecting technologies: 3D scanning and 3D printing. After having your dentist take an impression of your teeth, you send it to a dental lab.

They digitize the results, which are then uploaded to Blizzident. The 3D printer does the rest — and voila — you have a toothbrush that fits right inside your mouth, with each bristle perfectly aligned for your specific dental configuration.
