Review on 🦷 Smart Dental Floss - Visclyn Visual Toothpick with Camera and Intelligent App (White) by Darrell Ricks

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good video resolution. Save the video or snapshot in the app. Patented dental floss attachments.

This is a clever implementation of a dental floss pen with an additional video camera to monitor the flossing area. The chamber is surrounded by LED lights that illuminate the flossing area. The resolution of the video is very good and you really get a clear view of the teeth and gums. Dental floss tips are a short piece of dental floss attached to a plastic construction that fits snugly into a holder at the top of the floss head. This filament tip appears to be a proprietary design. I've been looking for replacement tips on Revain, but to no avail. The product description says there are 50 floss heads, but the instruction manual says 30 floss heads. The packaging looks like 30 is the correct number. So 30 tips provided is enough for less than a month and then a big problem. Hopefully replacement floss tips will be available from some source by then. Otherwise, this device turns into a close-up video camera, but becomes incapable of flossing. So the two biggest unknowns are availability and cost. When they become available, will dental floss be cost effective/affordable? The device contains a 400 mAh battery that allows up to 110 minutes of operation. It takes 90 minutes to fully charge an empty battery. This is an acceptable ratio of charging and operating time. The device and the corresponding application are easy to connect and use. You just need to connect your phone to the Wi-Fi signal sent by the device. Open the app and you'll see a live video feed from your toothbrush. The device is a powerful product and works as described. I have found that the thread that comes with it uses a thicker thread than the brand name thread I use by hand. I had some difficulty using it between some of my teeth. The main problem/weak point of the device is replaceable brush heads. Because of these considerations, this product receives a 4-star rating.
