Soladey-5: Revolutionizing Oral Care with Light and Water

Shiken, a Tokyo-based oral care product developer, has introduced Soladey-5, a revolutionary toothbrush that exemplifies their motto of enriching lives and safeguarding dental health. Founded in 1981, Shiken's research in dental and applied chemical sciences has culminated in the Soladey-5, a toothbrush that epitomizes their commitment to social contribution through innovative oral care products.

Soladey-5, priced at ¥2,750, is the latest addition to the Soladey series, designed under the unique concept of "cleaning with light and water." This innovative toothbrush generates electrons (e⁻) through light and water, effectively removing and preventing dental plaque. Its distinctive features include a titanium dioxide (TiO₂) semiconductor and a solar panel, earning patents in 12 countries globally.

The design of Soladey-5 emphasizes ergonomic ease and effectiveness. Its "EGG SHAPE" theme, incorporating curves and ovals, ensures a comfortable grip and efficient brushing. This distinct design sets it apart from typical toothbrushes.

The Soladey-5 is not just a toothbrush but a long-lasting oral care tool. Its stainless steel body and solar panel contribute to its durability, and the brush head is replaceable. With eight types of replaceable brush heads, including '4-row wide,' '3-row compact,' and 'infant,' Soladey-5 caters to diverse preferences and needs.

One of the key innovations of Soladey-5 is its 'tip point shape,' designed to reach every corner of the mouth. The hexagonal (honeycomb structure) antimicrobial bristles balance flexibility with thorough brushing, offering a unique experience compared to traditional toothbrushes.

Soladey-5's chemical action is semi-permanent, making it Japan's first Eco Mark certified toothbrush. The only disposable part is the 3g brush head, adding to its environmental appeal. This eco-friendly aspect, coupled with its revolutionary brushing technology, led to a resounding success in its MAKUAKE crowdfunding campaign in October 2022, achieving 1500% of its target with over 1200 supporters.

In addition to its technical prowess, the Soladey-5 also offers a comfortable and efficient brushing experience. Its 'tip point shape' design allows focused cleaning, making brushing less cumbersome and more effective. After use, many users report a significant smoothness to their teeth, a testament to the product's effectiveness.

Soladey-5's appeal lies not only in its innovative technology but also in its ability to cater to the entire family, including options for infants. The promise of smooth, clean teeth using just water and light makes Soladey-5 a compelling choice for those seeking a novel approach to oral care.
