Announced by Dyson on September 1, 2026, in Paris, the CameraJet is described by Dyson as the first toothbrush with both a camera and a jet, designed to find the gaps between your teeth and precision-floss them while you brush. It is the result of six years of development, over 660 Dyson engineers, and 38 filed patents. It comes as part of a full system: the toothbrush, a charging dock, a travel case, and Dyson's own toothpaste and mouthrinse formulated to work with it.
Why Dyson Built It
Dyson's reasoning comes from its own research. 9 in 10 people do not floss as regularly as they should, and the average person brushes for just 45 seconds, well under the recommended two minutes. The areas people miss most are the gaps between teeth, where plaque first forms and later hardens. Left untreated, this contributes to bad breath, tartar, gum irritation, and tooth decay.
Dyson also points to a wider concern. Nearly 3.7 billion people globally are affected by oral disease, and researchers increasingly link poor oral health to conditions like heart disease and Alzheimer's.
Features
Camera and Detection
- 100k pixel macro-lens camera powered by "Gap Optical Targeting," scanning 28 images per second to detect, track, and predict gaps between teeth in real time
- Within 100 milliseconds of spotting a gap, the brush fires a precision conical jet of mouthrinse directly into it
Cleaning Technology
- Conical jet design, developed with the National University of Singapore's dental faculty, engineered to remove plaque more effectively than needle-type jets while staying gentler on gums
- Variable sonic oscillation, changing the angle of bristle movement continuously during brushing to prevent "stalling" against the tooth surface, an issue Dyson identified in competitor brushes
- Dual-bristle brush head, with firmer inner bristles for surface stain removal and softer outer bristles for gentle gumline cleaning
- Each brush head contains an RFID chip that tracks usage and alerts users when it needs replacing
Design and Connectivity
- Anti-gravity 12.5ml mouthrinse tank, engineered to deliver consistent jets no matter the brushing angle
- Charging dock refills the mouthrinse tank in three seconds and charges the device between uses
- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connected, pairing with the MyDyson app for live camera viewing, brushing coverage maps, and technique feedback
- Companion toothpaste and mouthrinse, formulated without foam so the internal camera can see clearly while brushing
Our Thought
What stands out about this isn't really the camera or the jet. It's the reasoning behind it: almost everyone already knows flossing matters, and almost no one keeps up with it. Dyson did not just build a better toothbrush, it built a way to remove the excuse.
Whether or not this specific product is worth the price tag, it is a good prompt to ask yourself honestly:
When is the last time you actually flossed the way you are supposed to?
The tech is impressive, but the real takeaway is simpler than that. The gaps between our teeth are exactly where most people's oral care habits quietly fall apart.
