The Problem & Market Research
Although brushing teeth may seem easy for teenagers, most of them brush their teeth in the wrong way.
Some research has found that adolescents (13-21 years) only brush 50% to 67% of the surface of their teeth.
Incorrect brushing methods allow plaque to build up and attack the tooth enamel leading to tooth decay or gum diseases.
