  • The device uses AI to spot missed areas between teeth and guide cleaning, extending Dyson’s pitch from routine brushing to real-time oral-hygiene feedback.
  • Dyson said the toothbrush analyzes 28 images per second and can trigger a precision jet aimed at plaque gaps, with earlier launch materials claiming up to 69% more plaque removal.
  • The CameraJet was unveiled in Paris after six years of development, underscoring Dyson’s push to apply its premium hardware-and-app model beyond vacuums and hair tools.
