- Description: Dyson has entered oral care with a toothbrush that has a camera in the bristles. Here's how the CameraJet's camera, AI targeting and water jet work, and whether it's worth AU$799.

Dyson has spent more than three decades making machines that suck, blow and curl, and on 01/09/2026 it turned that same engineering obsession on the inside of your mouth. The [Dyson CameraJet](https://www.dyson.com/oral-care/electric-toothbrush/camerajet?ref=blankidentity.com.au) is the company's first ever electric toothbrush, and its headline trick is genuinely odd: a camera small enough to sit inside the brush head, feeding a live picture of your teeth to an app so you can see exactly which bits you have missed.

## A camera the size of a pinhead

Most of us brush on autopilot and miss the same gaps every time, usually along the gumline and in the tight spaces between teeth. Dyson's answer is a 1mm macro lens, rated at roughly 100,000 pixels, built directly into the brush head. It captures 28 images a second and runs them through an onboard machine learning model, trained on hundreds of thousands of dental images, to spot the gaps between teeth in real time. Dyson calls the underlying system Gap Optical Targeting, and it is what lets the brush react to your mouth rather than just running a fixed routine. The company is upfront that none of this footage is recorded or stored, on the device or in the cloud, so the live feed exists only for you, in the moment.

## A jet, not just a brush

The second half of the name is the jet. Once the camera flags a gap between teeth, the CameraJet fires a cone-shaped burst of water or mouth rinse at that exact spot, within about 100 milliseconds of detecting it. Dyson describes the spray as broader and gentler than the thin needle-jets used in traditional water flossers, which is meant to sweep plaque away rather than blast it. Fluid comes from a 12.5ml anti-gravity tank designed not to trap air pockets when you tilt the handle, and it refills from the dock in about three seconds. The brush itself uses variable sonic oscillation, moving 245 times a second, with an anti-stall motor and a dual-bristle head, firmer bristles on the inside for surface stains, softer bristles on the outside for the gumline. Each head carries an RFID chip that quietly tracks how much use it has had and tells you through the app when it needs replacing.

## What the MyDyson app actually shows you

The camera feed lands in the MyDyson app, which Dyson pitches with the line "see what your dentist sees". In use it streams a live, magnified view of your teeth while you brush, maps which surfaces you have actually covered, and layers in guided cleaning routines with four modes: Brush-only, Auto-jet (brushing and flossing combined), Deep Clean and Gentle, each with three intensity levels. It is closer to the coverage-mapping most people already know from Oral-B's iO app or Philips Sonicare's plaque-tracking sensors, except CameraJet is working from an actual camera image rather than motion sensors and accelerometer data inferring where the brush head probably is.

## Battery, price and availability

Dyson rates the CameraJet for up to 10 days of use on a full charge, based on one Brush-and-Auto-jet session and one Gentle-mode session daily, or around 14 complete cleans between charges, with an 8-hour recharge time over USB-C. It connects over both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, is IPX7 rated for full immersion, and ships in Ceramic Pink or Ceramic Ultra Blue. The set includes the handle, a charging dock that doubles as the fluid refill station, two standard dual-bristle heads (a sensitive variant is sold separately), a USB-C cable and a travel case.

It launched on 01/09/2026 for US$499.99 in the United States, which converts to roughly AU$710 at current exchange rates (approximately 1 USD to 1.42 AUD as of late September 2026). Dyson Australia, however, has confirmed local pricing directly at AU$799 through its own site, so that is the figure to go by for Australian buyers rather than a straight conversion.

## How it stacks up

Brush coverage is a real, well documented problem. Dentists have been saying for years that most people brush the same convenient surfaces and skip the rest, and both Oral-B and Philips have already built businesses around trying to fix it without a camera. Oral-B's iO range uses motion sensors and pressure sensors paired with its app to estimate coverage zone by zone, while Philips Sonicare's higher end models use accelerometer-based position tracking to build a similar map. Both are well reviewed and considerably cheaper than the CameraJet, with Oral-B's iO Series 10 and the Sonicare Prestige 9900 both sitting around AU$100 less than Dyson's toothbrush at the equivalent USD pricing. What neither offers is an actual image of your teeth. Dyson's pitch is that inferred coverage is a guess dressed up as data, and a camera removes the guesswork, at the cost of being the most expensive toothbrush most people will ever have looked at.

**At a glance:**

- Price: US$499.99 in the US; AU$799 confirmed on Dyson Australia's own site
- Released: 01/09/2026, Dyson's first ever electric toothbrush
- Camera: 1mm macro lens, approximately 100,000 pixels, capturing 28 images per second
- Jet: conical spray from a 12.5ml anti-gravity tank, refills in around 3 seconds
- Motor: sonic oscillation at 245 movements per second, four modes, three intensities
- Battery: up to 10 days or roughly 14 cleans per charge, 8-hour recharge via USB-C
- Rating: IPX7 waterproof, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connected via the MyDyson app
- Colours: Ceramic Pink and Ceramic Ultra Blue

**Verdict:** The CameraJet is a properly novel idea rather than a marketing gimmick bolted onto an existing toothbrush, and Dyson's engineering pedigree makes the camera-plus-jet system credible rather than gadgety. Whether it is worth AU$799 depends entirely on how much you value actually seeing your own coverage rather than trusting an app's best guess, and early reviews suggest it genuinely does clean hard-to-reach spots better than most premium rivals. It is not essential, and Oral-B or Sonicare will get most people most of the way there for a lot less money, but for anyone who has ever wondered what their dentist can see that they can't, this is the first toothbrush that actually shows them.
