Hardware development
Studying electrical engineering and developing the hardware that brings our first prototype to life.

First prototype in development
We’re developing a new way to make everyday oral care more visible—starting with a camera-based prototype that uses fluorescence-based light, imaging, and simple software feedback.
Future product concept—not the current prototype.
01 / Our beginning
What would everyday brushing look like if we could see a little more of what we’re doing?
That question brought together hardware, software, and dental knowledge. We’re a team of three, turning an everyday curiosity into a first prototype.

Software development
Developing the software that turns captured images into visual feedback that is easier to understand.

02 / Building nowA camera-based first prototype
Specialized light. A small camera. Clearer brushing feedback.
Plaque can be difficult to notice under ordinary light. We’re exploring how fluorescence-based illumination and a small camera can make areas of buildup more visually distinguishable. Our software then processes the captured image into feedback that is easier to understand.
Under ordinary light, areas of plaque buildup can be difficult to distinguish from the surrounding tooth surface.
Illustrative example—not a clinical result.
Fluorescence-based light illuminates a selected area of the tooth surface.
A small camera in the wand captures the surface under that specialized light.
Software processes the image into visual highlights designed to make areas of buildup easier to notice.
Clearer feedback could help you reflect on where your brushing routine may need more attention.
We’re starting with selected, accessible tooth surfaces and learning how to make image capture and feedback more useful. The camera wand is separate from your toothbrush. This is an experience we’re developing and testing.

An idea, taking shape
We’re working on image capture, a useful first tool, and feedback that makes sense. One considered step at a time.
Generated prototype illustration—not a photograph of working hardware.04 / Our future vision
We imagine a thoughtful at-home oral-care system: a toothbrush for daily care, a separate scanning wand for occasional guided checks, and an app that helps observations make sense.
An ambition we’re working toward—not a product available today.
A coordinated toothbrush, scanning tool, and app designed to fit into everyday life.
A visual history that could make repeatable observations and changes easier to understand.
Exploring ways to share useful visual information and support conversations with dental professionals.

A few good questions
No. Our first prototype is in development, and we haven’t announced a release date.
The concept combines fluorescence-based illumination with a small camera. We’re exploring how images captured under this specialized light can make plaque buildup more visually distinguishable, then using software to turn those images into understandable brushing feedback.
Exploring fluorescence-based visual feedback about areas of plaque buildup on selected, accessible tooth surfaces. It is not a complete examination of the mouth.
No. The prototype is still being developed and tested. We’re investigating how fluorescence-based imaging may help visualize plaque on selected accessible tooth surfaces; we do not claim it identifies every area of plaque.
Cavity detection is not a capability of the first prototype. More advanced monitoring belongs to our longer-term research vision and would require further development and validation.
No. denti is intended to support everyday oral-care awareness, not replace professional dental care.
