The water jet ruined my teeth. I would not advise anyone to use them. Edit: here are some anecdotes https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfmaude/d... Edit 2: It might be that I didn’t maintain it properly and the water reservoir was building up bio film over period of time and actively distributing bacterial to my gums.

Any water jets or dyson brand? I haven't had a single dentist tell me anything negative about them but I also don't trust dentists

The HN title makes it sound like Toothbrush is their brand, and with the appropriation of common terms for the sake of the brand, I bought it. I would be disinclined to use it. It reminds me of the Astral Codex Ten Article about the Midjouney Scanner https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/preliminary-thoughts-on-the... , as well as those who've had problems with AirPods. https://discussions.apple.com/verify-human/verify.ht…

Don't worry, they wouldn't lose the chance to trademark something silly like CameraJet™

How so? Never heard of anyone having any issues with them, and they are recommended by dentists pretty often

Man marketing really screwed a great engineered product. 4k resolution mouth camera?? That's why we go to a dentist every 6 months because I wouldnt know wtf im looking at. "Oh there's that canker sore I feel. Huh, at least I can see it" Bruh, you don't need a camera for gap detection. Just stick an IR sensor, detect change in light. Boom, $0.05.

>I wouldnt know wtf im looking at.

The camera is for the ai: "Dyson's Gap Optical Targeting™ prevents plaque formation by detecting the gaps and jetting between teeth every time you brush.²"

500 bucks for a toothbrush, but could be some interesting angles. Always dreamed of removing plaque myself, future of robotic dentistry

If this is doing better waterpik + toothbrush and perhaps has a long guarantee and leaves you with a 2x normal feeling every morning, I could see the appeal. I dropped $60 on Waterpic and it broke. So then I got a better Waterpik for $100+ but it was clunky unit with bigger water container that didn't fit in my small bathroom. And it broke. But I do like the feeling of electric toothbrush.

How is that possible? Did you use extreme pressure that penetrated your gums? I use Waterpik every day, and my teeth are cleaner than ever.

dentists made up the 6 month rule. There's no evidence that it improves outcomes, for most people with healthy teeth, 24 months is fine:
