ꨄ︎ OptiBrusher Full Mouth Toothbrush
Designed to make oral care simple, effective, and fully accessible.
OptiBrusher, an innovative, brand-new full-mouth tooth brushing appliance, uses FDA approved food grade materials and a natural jaw-motion technique to deliver a complete, comfortable brushing. Simple to use, the OptiBrusher needs only a splash of mouthwash for a fresh, clean feel, helping make daily oral hygiene more accessible for all.
ꨄ︎ The Solution
What is OptiBrusher?
OptiBrusher is a full mouth toothbrush. It is a brushing appliance that is placed in the mouth, by oneself or a caregiver, and cleans the teeth by using a chewing motion or by manual movement. Made from FDA approved food grade materials, OptiBrusher is designed to clean the teeth quickly and comfortably using the natural motion of the lower jaw. Instead of toothpaste, users add a small amount of mouthwash, which flows through the internal channels to rinse away debris and allow for fast drying. OptiBrusher is durable, gentle, and simple to clean, offering a practical and dignified way to support daily oral care for individuals who struggle with conventional brushing.

Audrey Rosenberg, a longtime dental hygienist with a background in clinical research, first conceived the idea for OptiBrusher while working in a temporary dental position. One day, she treated an elderly patient who appeared to have suffered a stroke and no longer had the ability to use his hands. She found herself wondering what would happen to individuals like him, people unable to hold or manipulate a traditional toothbrush, when they were left without a way to maintain their daily oral hygiene. That question sparked a pivotal idea: what if a mouth guard could be redesigned to function like a toothbrush by incorporating bristle-like cleaning elements?
Determined to pursue the concept, Rosenberg began researching patents and worked closely with the patent office, conscientiously following each step in the process. After securing an initial patent, rapid advancements in injection molding and production technology required a complete redesign to take advantage of improved manufacturing methods. Finding the right 3D designer and navigating the lengthy patent review process took years, but her commitment to creating an effective and accessible solution never wavered.
The result of this decade-long journey is the OptiBrusher. The long development process allowed the concept to evolve into the most effective version possible, an innovative tool built with care, intention, and a deep understanding of the real-world challenges people face in maintaining daily oral health.

Nancy, RDH
“As a dental hygienist with more than two decades in clinical practice, I see every day how many patients struggle with traditional brushing. The OptiBrusher is designed to address those challenges by allowing effective plaque removal with minimal effort, especially for patients with limited dexterity or mobility. Its use with a simple mouth rinse instead of toothpaste could offer a practical, dignified, and clinically meaningful way to support better daily oral hygiene once it becomes available.”

Angie, Certified Caregiver
“Many of the individuals I help struggle with traditional brushing because of mobility or dexterity issues. The OptiBrusher has the potential to make daily oral care significantly easier and more effective. I’m very much excited about the impact it could have!”

Rebecca, Assisted Living Director
“In long-term care, brushing is often skipped because many patients can’t get to the bathroom or don’t have the dexterity for a traditional toothbrush. The OptiBrusher has the potential to solve both challenges with a hygienic, easy-to-clean design that takes only seconds to use. It could help patients regain confidence and dignity in their daily routine once it becomes available.”
ꨄ︎ The Problem
Why OptiBrusher?
Daily oral care is often overlooked or impossible for people with limited mobility, restricted bathroom access, or reliance on caregivers, leading to preventable discomfort, infections, and declining oral health. Traditional toothbrushing methods simply aren’t designed for some situations or environments where staffing and resources are limited. OptiBrusher was created to close this gap with a simple, full-mouth cleaning solution that works without toothpaste or hand and wrist dexterity, making effective oral hygiene accessible to everyone, anywhere.
Elderly
The elderly benefit from the OptiBrusher because it removes the physical challenges of traditional brushing. Its bite-and-clean design is ideal for those with arthritis, tremors, or reduced hand strength, allowing seniors to maintain independence and comfort. With soft bristles and the option to use mouthwash, it offers a gentle, effective, and accessible way to support daily oral care.
Individuals With Disabilities
The OptiBrusher removes the need for hand strength or fine motor control which can be beneficial to individuals with disabilities. It’s design supports those with limited mobility, neurological conditions, or upper-extremity injuries, helping them brush independently and comfortably.
Veterans and Active Military
OptiBrusher provides fast, effective oral care in demanding environments. Its design supports those with service-related injuries and is ideal for field use or deployments. Durable, portable, and easy to use, it helps maintain independence, convenience, and readiness.

ꨄ︎ Benefits
Benefits of OptiBrusher
Limited Mobility Brushing
The mouthguard style design allows users to brush with limited motion. Gentle chewing and jaw movement let the bristles do the cleaning, making it ideal for users with limited mobility, dexterity challenges, or upper extremity injuries. Natural jaw motion helps move the appliance and creates friction along the teeth and gums, effectively dislodging plaque and biofilm.
Innovative Channel System
Strategically designed channels allow fluids to flow naturally around the mouth while brushing, preventing drooling and creating a cleaner, more comfortable experience. The same channels also allow the appliance to dry completely between uses, which helps prevent microbial growth.
Mouthwash-Only Operation
The OptiBrusher is designed to be used with a mouthwash instead of toothpaste. The mouthwash aids in bacterial control and supports fresh breath. A mouthwash is strongly recommended, as it helps prevent cavities in a compromised population.
Lightweight and Durable Design
Made from high-quality materials built for daily use, the OptiBrusher will be offered in multiple sizes to ensure a comfortable and effective fit for every user. It is easy to maintain, portable, and simple to rinse clean, making it reliable at home, in care facilities, outdoors, or during travel.
Easily Visible Color
The appliance’s bold safety-orange color ensures it’s easy to spot, helping prevent misplacement. This high-visibility design is especially beneficial for elderly users or anyone with impaired vision, making it simple to locate quickly and confidently.
