Compact Oral Care Tools

Unique Product Concepts' DUO is a Two-in-One Toothbrush and Flosser

Many portable oral care tools are developed specifically for the travel market, but Unique Product Concepts' DUO has the potential to satisfy one's daily and occasion-specific needs.

DUO takes the form of a small two-in-one miniature toothbrush and flosser, as it was "specifically designed to be a comprehensive on-the-go dental tool" that's no bigger than three inches. As well as helping to care for one's teeth, the compact oral care tool also cleanses the cheeks and gums, with no water or rinsing necessary.

Each DUO device is topped with a mint-flavored bead—a key ingredient of which is peppermint oil—that completely dissolves during use to freshen one's breath and at the same time, brighten one's smile and strengthen the gums. While the product was developed as a single-use item, Unique Product Concepts notes that the brushes may be used more than once.
