The 'Switch' toothbrush is a sustainable oral care device that will work to maximize functionality for the user, while also eliminating the need to completely dispose of the entire unit. The toothbrush features a metallic handle that works with interchangeable brush heads for complete care, sensitive and whitening needs. These brush heads will change in color to let the user know when they need to be replaced, while the 100% recyclable head is made using 100% recycled plastic to further enhance the eco-friendly nature of the oral care solution.
The 'Switch' toothbrush is the design work of Ben Cullis Watson and Crux Product Design, and is the will of a 2021 Red Dot Design Award as well as the 2021 iF Design Awards.
