Why You Need a Personalized Brushing Plan

4d ago

Not all mouths are the same—and your brushing routine shouldn’t be either. A one-size-fits-all approach can leave key problem areas untouched, worsen existing gum conditions, or even cause enamel wear. A personalized brushing plan considers your specific oral health profile: sensitive areas, plaque buildup zones, gumline conditions, brushing technique, and more. In this article, we explain the science behind personalized dental care and how AI-powered toothbrushes like BrushO use real-time data to build adaptive, customized brushing guidance that evolves with your needs.

The Flaw in Standard Brushing Advice

Most people are taught to brush twice a day for two minutes—but this blanket recommendation doesn’t account for individual differences, such as:

 • Crowded or misaligned teeth
 • Varying gum sensitivity or recession
 • Orthodontic appliances or implants
 • Left-behind plaque in “missed zones”
 • Overbrushing or brushing too fast

Without tailored adjustments, people often under-brush high-risk areas and overbrush healthy ones, leading to avoidable problems like gum damage, cavities, and tooth wear.

What a Personalized Brushing Plan Includes

A true personalized brushing plan involves more than a schedule. It incorporates:

 • Zone-Based Guidance: Divides the mouth into 6 zones and 16 surfaces, prioritizing areas with higher plaque or bleeding risk.
 • Technique Optimization: Adjusts brushing pressure, angle, and speed based on how you brush in real-time.
 • Time Allocation: Extends time on neglected or problem-prone areas.
 • Adaptive Recommendations: Evolves with your brushing data over time.
 • User Profile: Considers factors like age, dental history, and gum health.
