Toothbrush apps
A connected electric toothbrush pairs with its maker’s app: Philips Sonicare, Oral-B or Oclean Care+. They show where you missed, how long you brushed and where you pressed too hard. Kids with a Sonicare for Kids brush get Philips Sonicare For Kids. With an ordinary brush, Brush DJ times two minutes to your music, and Pokémon Smile turns brushing into a game for children. All six are free to install.
How we picked: we read each app’s own App Store description and checked who publishes it. The brush makers’ apps need that maker’s connected toothbrush; Brush DJ works with any manual or electric brush. We left out timer apps whose publisher we could not verify.
Philips Sonicare
Philips Sonicare needs a connected Sonicare brush, and what it shows depends on the model. The top DiamondClean models get SenseIQ, a mouth map and personal guidance; DiamondClean Smart and FlexCare Platinum Connected get the mouth map with missed-area alerts; Sonicare 6500, 7100, DiamondClean 9000 and ExpertClean get the SmarTimer and brushing guides. After your first session it gives an assessment of your technique to track from, and the newest models auto-sync your data even when the phone is not nearby.
Oral-B and Oclean
Oral-B pairs with Oral-B Bluetooth brushes and guides you in real time with 3D teeth tracking and AI brushing recognition on supported models. After each session you see a brush score, your coverage and a map of where you pressed too hard, and there is a tracker to log gum bleeding. Oclean Care+ records brushing time, frequency, pressure and how clean each area is when you connect an Oclean brush, supports several users in a family and can write brushing data to Apple Health.
Timers for any brush and for kids
Brush DJ was made by a dentist and plays two minutes of your music so brushing lasts long enough, with a manual or electric brush. It also reminds you to brush twice a day, floss and change the brush head every three months. Pokémon Smile guides children through every area of the mouth, lets them catch Pokémon by brushing well, sets up to three reminders a day and runs for one, two or three minutes. With a Sonicare for Kids brush, Philips Sonicare For Kids coaches technique with the character Sparkly and rewards finished sessions.
Habits for the whole family
Morning routines for children sit well next to chore apps for kids, and a smart scale app keeps other health numbers in one place.
