Sure it's a pain, but we all have to brush our teeth. In fact, doctors recommend brushing for at least 2 minutes, twice a day.

The Blizzident toothbrush was created from 3D scanning and 3D printing.

After your dentist makes a mold of your teeth,  you simply bite it, chomp for six seconds, and voila: every single one of your teeth is perfectly brushed in both an up and down and side to side motion.

The Blizzident costs $299, but only needs to be replaced once a year, while the ADA recommends you replace a regular toothbrush every 3 to 4 months.
