Ultreo has finally launched the Ultreo ultrasonic toothbrush - the latest weapon in the ongoing effort to further advance dental hygiene. While it's not exactly a revolutionary idea (sonic toothbrushes like Sonicare have been around for a couple of years now), Ultreo promises that this new toothbrush will bring about "the ultimate clean" with its combination of ultrasound waveguide technology and sonic bristle action.

According to its creators, Ultreo uses a tuned sonic/ultrasonic (over 20,000Hz) combo to clean teeth as compared to the more traditional sonic units that only use audible frequencies of 20Hz to 20,000Hz. The Ultreo also has a programmable replacement indicator that tells you to change brush heads every three months as well as a two-minute auto shut-off timer so that you can get more cleaning mileage out of it.

The Ultreo ultrasound toothbrush ships Spring 2007, dental hygiene addicts (which should be all of us) can pre-order one now for US 149.00.

I like it, but not the price :S

Yes costly. But the price will come down after sometime(Maybe) :)

I'd rather spend that $149 on a pair of new memory sticks for my PSP. And I don't need "sounds" to clean my teeth. What's wrong with regular flossing and brushing? Isn't that enough?

maybe it's used to torture bacterias :mdr:

torture!! now i want one :D

:O brushing and flossing is never enough
sure anyone will buy that...
