Introduction

This Button Adapter is designed for individuals with low muscle tone, hand dexterity, or strength in the thumb or fingers which make pressing the small stiff power button difficult. Users may already find manual toothbrushes challenging due to the use of short back and forth strokes and precise low pressure or even the small circular motions.  

For optimal fit, and ease of design, the Electric Toothbrush's form was mapped using the 3D scanner, Revopoint Inspire. The Button Adapter is secured by a velcro strap. It allows the user to turn on the toothbrush by a lean of their body, arm or palm.
