Electrifying oral care for Sunstar Group
The oral care industry is increasingly moving towards smart, responsive solutions for daily brushing. Our goal with GUM was simple: create a toothbrush that provides a powerful clean that’s still gentle on the gums.
The solution was a brush that utilizes GUM’s gum health expertise, supported by thoughtful details like a brush sensitivity sensor that alerts the user when they’re brushing too hard.
