On December 17, 2025, quip announced that its Ultra Smart Sonic Toothbrush has been honored with a 2025 TIME Best Inventions Award, recognized in the prestigious Design category. This recognition places the toothbrush among 300 innovative products that are reshaping daily life, highlighting the importance of both design and accessibility in oral care.
TIME’s selection process involved nominations from editors and correspondents worldwide, evaluating each entry based on originality, efficacy, ambition, and overall impact. The quip Ultra Smart Sonic Toothbrush stood out due to its sleek design, user-friendly technology, and competitive pricing, bringing professional-level care to everyday routines.
Bridging the Gap in Oral Health
“Our goal at quip is to make electric toothbrushes an essential part of people’s daily rituals,” said Meredith Glansberg, CEO of quip. She noted that while over 75% of dental professionals recommend using electric toothbrushes, only one-third of people actually do. This award from TIME reinforces quip’s mission to make oral care both effective and enjoyable, addressing the gap between professional recommendations and consumer habits.
The Ultra Smart Sonic Toothbrush offers high-end performance at a reasonable price, starting at $100. Key features include:
- Up to 15 times more plaque removal between teeth compared to a manual toothbrush, according to an in vitro study.
- Twice the whitening effect within one week compared to manual brushing, also based on in vitro research.
- Seventy percent less waste compared to previous quip Sonic Toothbrush models.
