First, Dyson’s smart toothbrush grabbed headlines, showing how technology can enhance a simple daily tool.

Dezeen then revisited eight design projects to demonstrate how form and function can merge in a humble item.

One highlighted project is Landor & Fitch Accessories, which offers a range of toothbrush handles with thick, ergonomic grips tailored for users with limited dexterity. The collection boasts more than 142 distinct designs.

These additions not only improve usability but also add visual appeal, potentially making oral hygiene routines more engaging.

For designers, the examples illustrate how thoughtful ergonomics and aesthetics can transform a basic product. Expect similar design‑focused innovations to appear in other everyday health tools in the near future.
