FAQs

What is Encompass?

Encompass is a half-mouth toothbrush that provides an optimal cleaning in just 30 seconds.

Do we really need another toothbrush?

Yes! Nearly 100% of adults have gum disease or cavities caries, but 90% of both can be prevented with proper brushing.

Who can use it?

Encompass is currently designed for ages 13+, when all permanent teeth have emerged. A version for younger kids with a smaller brush head and handle is in the works.
Note: children should always be supervised when using powered toothbrushes.

Why did you choose a half-mouth design instead of a full mouthpiece?

When we started on this journey, we actually began with a full mouthpiece design in mind. What we quickly discovered is it proved too difficult to get the right motion and provide a uniform brushing with such a large brush head. Also, in complete disclosure, it was just plain uncomfortable and messy to get in and out of the mouth.

Will it fit my mouth?

Encompass is designed to adjust to your jaw shape, size, and teeth alignment. While we haven’t tested every mouth, in designing our brush head we studied over 4,000 jaws and sets of teeth to ensure the proper fit of Encompass. In our user studies, 90% of participants found the brushing experience comfortable, irrespective of their jaw size or misalignment of their teeth.

Fun fact! In our user studies, the majority of participants believed their mouths were small and concerned the brush wouldn’t fit, while the dentists measured most as having medium or even large jaws!

Is it safe?

Encompass does not pose any risks beyond those of other toothbrushes, and is actually designed to prevent some of the risks associated with other brushes such as wear to dental enamel and gum recession as well as abrasions from user error/incorrect brushing technique. Encompass is designed to meet all U.S. and international regulatory, safety, and quality standards.

Is there an app? Is it connected?

Encompass was designed to be effortless, to save you time and make brushing less of a chore, not increase the steps you need to take to get an optimal cleaning. You don’t need to worry about proper brushing technique because Encompass does the work for you. For this reason, we don’t see the need for an app to track your oral hygiene habits.
