Paris – September 07, 2026 -- Dyson has unveiled the CameraJet, a toothbrush with a built-in camera designed to locate gaps between teeth and clean them with a targeted jet of mouthwash. The company says it is the first brush of its kind to combine camera-guided detection with precision fluid dynamics, and it goes on sale September 1, 2026, priced at 479 euros.

A tiny camera tracks gaps between teeth in real time

A 100,000-pixel macro lens camera scans the mouth during brushing, using a machine-learning system Dyson calls Gap Optical Targeting. The algorithm processes 28 live images per second to detect, track, and predict interdental gaps, then fires a cone-shaped mouthwash jet at the identified spot within 100 milliseconds. Dyson says the system runs on 16 million lines of code and was trained on 470,000 images of teeth.
