## Transcript

>> The annual Consumer Electronics Show features some of the most innovative tech the world has to offer. And this year, one of the most talked about items is designed to help with the rigorous daily process of brushing all 32 teeth. Kolibree presents what it calls the world's first connected electric toothbrush designed to keep daily tabs on you're good or not- so- good brushing habits.

>> Each brush stroke is recorded and synced to an app that reveals how long you've brushed, and if you have reached important areas. If you develop a sloppy brushing technique, the app will give you a low rating.

>> Holy cow.

>> And if you're the family that obsesses over white teeth, the app can sync to multiple brushes so you can hold little Timmy accountable for missing a molar. According to PC World, Kolibree will be releasing different models of the toothbrush that can cost anywhere between $ 100 and $ 200. But if you think you've heard this " world's first" pitch before, it's because you have.

>> The Beam Brush is the world's first app- connected toothbrush.

>> The Beam Brush was released in 2012 and has currently sold for about 25 bucks, though it claims to do the exact same thing as Kolibree's new $ 100 model. The Consumer Electronics Show is set to begin in Las Vegas January 7th. For TIME, I'm Jamal Andrews.
