A Bristly Future

Another area where I think we need a better idea is the matter of toothbrushes. Although, the lowly toothbrush has indeed done wonders for dental health, it has not evolved greatly over the years. Sure, there's a truckload of different kinds of electric tooth brushes out there, yet, for the most part, they all boil down to a brush on the end of a stick.
What I would like to see is a contraption that is basically a set of reverse dentures covered with tiny brushes. You could simply place one half of the contraption over your entire set of upper teeth and the other half over your entire set of lower teeth. (Of course, you would first need to apply a bit of tooth paste on the brush contraption.) Then, after you set the U-shaped set of brushes in your mouth, you can press a switch that makes the tiny brushes start massaging your teeth. That way both of your hands will be free to do something else as you brush. Life would be so much easier!

If you could also come up with a bonding agent of some sort of polyurethane for your teeth, this would greatly benefit me! Mine keep falling out in small pieces!!
