Palibrush
Product:
Toothbrush
PALIBRUSH® is developed and designed together with dental professionals. Palibrush has a curved brush head and an ergonomic grip to effectively clean the back side of the upper and lower tooth row, for maintaining a healthy dental hygiene.
Pivot designed the shape of the brush and the handle through several iterations of prototyping and testing. Radius, size and grip were important parameters to receive desired brushing effects. Take a look at brushes.no.
A small scale production was made to test the product by a group of dental patients. The test results were used for final optimizations before production drawings were made. Prototypes were made in 3D-printed SLS combined with a modified brush head in a curved fixation.
In addition to focus on ergonomics in dentistry, the aesthetics of the product was important. The brush handle and head (ex. bristles) is monomaterial and without crevices which would have collected residue and bacteria. Specialized for people with fixed retainers or for removing plaque, the brush works as a substitute to the regular toothbrush. Designed to give the user dental skills like professionals.
