What happens when Mr. 3D printer meets Ms. oral hygiene?* Well, the union can potentially go wrong, and the result is an ugly 3D-printed toothbrush that makes your post-braces retainer look good.
Blizzident, the company that came up with the idea, is now selling their in-mouth toothbrush for $299, with replacement bristles for $159.* Naturally, you’re thinking that you can buy several years’ worth of normal tooth brushes with that sum, but can these mediocre brushes-on-a-handle ensure your mouth is refreshingly clean in just 6 seconds?

The Blizzident toothbrush is customized to fit people’s mouth to ensure that every bristles can effectively cleanse people’s teeth.* All a person has to do is pop the hideous thing into their mouth, bite down on the mold with some 400 bristles, and grind for roughly 6 seconds. *An added benefit to the 3D-printed toothbrush is that it has a built in tongue cleaner.
