Abstract

Devices for whitening teeth of a user where the device outputs data, the device is controlled using hand gestures detected by at least one sensor, or the device includes wireless charging. At least one sensor may collect data for output. The device may whiten teeth by shining light on the teeth while at least part of the device is in the mouth of the user. The device may output data wirelessly, with Bluetooth, to a smart device, to the Internet, for computer analysis, for processing with machine learning, or for determination of a duration or intensity for whitening the teeth. The data may include shade or color of the teeth and may be compared to data from other users to automatically determine a teeth-whitening treatment procedure for the user. The device may notify the user of potential health risks associated with the teeth or gums of the user.
