Over the past 20+ years, the ADA has tried a variety of solutions.
Nothing has been as successful as the introduction of children's powered
toothbrushes.
Now, you can debate whether they missed something or the resulting
design is somehow suboptimal. However, that misses the point of this
discussion.
Actually, I was off on a bit of a tangent, I was wondering out loud why
motorized toothbrushes work and if there isn't a better way to implement
that functionality. Has anyone other than the ADA studied this in
other cultures, and what were their results? Is the mechanism really a
complex one of subtle manipulation or is it simple novelty that makes it
work?
