The Goodwell is an open-source toothbrush that aims to provide a modern oral hygiene experience.
This toothbrush's handle is made from medical-grade aluminum; all of its attachments are crafted out of eco-friendly attachments. Bristly quality is key in any toothbrush and the Goodwell doesn't compromise here, using bristles from biodegradable charcoal fibers. The flossing and tongue scrapping implements are made from bamboo composite. This means they can be added to the compost when they're done being used rather than being discarded in the garbage.
The Goodwell toothbrush was the subject of a highly successful crowdfunding campaign and is now available for pre-order. The toothbrush can be pre-ordered for $59, while the premium kit including a flosser, tongue scraper and carry case costs $79. A one-year subscription also costs $79.
