Anicet Mbida delivers to us every morning what is best in terms of innovation.

This Monday, he is interested in a novelty in the field of dental hygiene, electric dental floss.

Innovation at the service of dental hygiene this morning.

After the toothbrush, it is now the dental floss that goes into electric mode.

It was time !

Dental floss is still very primitive.

You have to cut the right length, twist it around with your fingertips, contort yourself in front of the mirror to get it between your back teeth… a real hassle.

Now imagine some kind of electric toothbrush that ends in a "U" shape.

And between the two branches of this "U", stretch a piece of dental floss.

Then, just pass the device all around his teeth.

As the wire is motorized and vibrates, it will glide over the enamel and easily dislodge anything that may have become stuck.

No more contortion.

We always keep the same piece of wire, we never change it?

Whether !

In fact, the entire "U" part is removable.

When the wire is too tired, just change the head.

So it's quite simple.

There is another model, capable of cleaning all the teeth at the same time.

It looks like a kind of mouth guard with a dozen dental floss inside.

They are positioned in exactly the right places.

Suddenly, it is enough to bite inside to scrape all the dental interstices at once.

It's the same principle as electric toothbrushes in ten seconds.

The ones that clean all the teeth at the same time.

Except that there are several dental floss that act together.

Is it custom made?

Yes.

We start with a scan or cast of his jaw to make sure the wires will fall right between the teeth.

Otherwise it won't work.

Everyone knows that you should brush your teeth at least twice a day, for two minutes.

But we forget that you also have to floss every day after brushing in the evening.

But few of us do.

So that's the kind of innovation that might inspire us to do that more often.

Because it's more practical and fun.

The devices should be marketed in the coming weeks by startups like Flaus or BlizzBrush.

But it wouldn't surprise me if the giants of the sector are also getting involved.
