Ara FAQ

How does the AR gamified app specifically guide children to brush effectively?

The AR app uses an interactive coach and visual cues, such as 'Monsters,' to show children exactly where to brush in their mouth. It highlights missed zones in real-time, ensuring comprehensive coverage and guiding them through a thorough 2-minute brushing session.

What kind of data can parents see on the dashboard, and how is it presented?

The parent dashboard provides detailed metrics including the percentage of coverage achieved during brushing, the total time brushed, and streaks of consistent brushing. It also features a heatmap that visually indicates specific areas in the child's mouth that are frequently missed, allowing parents to address these zones.

Beyond the initial purchase, what are the ongoing costs associated with the Kolibree system?

After the initial purchase of the smart toothbrush kit, the Kolibree system requires a monthly or yearly subscription for continued access to the premium gamified app, AR brushing coach, and parent dashboard. Some plans also include brush head refills and extended warranty benefits.

How does Kolibree ensure the smart toothbrush is gentle and safe for children's gums?

The Kolibree smart toothbrush is designed with soft bristles specifically chosen to be gentle on children's gums. This feature, combined with the guided brushing experience, helps prevent aggressive brushing that could harm delicate oral tissues.

What evidence supports Kolibree's claim of reducing cavities and improving oral health?

Kolibree cites clinical evidence and a 2023 user study indicating that children using the system experienced 89% fewer cavities after 6 weeks of guided smart brushing. The product is also recommended by board-certified pediatric dentists.
