Oral-B Genius X 10000

This toothbrush is made by one of the two biggest brands in electric toothbrushes. (The other is Philips Sonicare.) It comes with a timer (to make sure you brush for 2 minutes) and a pressure sensor (which alerts you if you are brushing too hard). It also connects to an (optional) app that tries to make brushing seem like a fun game, giving you tips on how to clean your teeth more thoroughly and rating you on everything from how much time you spend brushing to which parts of your mouth you’re neglecting. Oral-B first debuted its Genius series in 2016, when you needed to mount your phone on your bathroom mirror so it could watch you brush and coach you to do better. But now, several models later, it can figure out just how you are brushing without connecting to your phone camera.
