The quip Ultra Smart Sonic Toothbrush has been awarded the prestigious TIME Best Inventions Award for 2025, recognized specifically in the Design category. This accolade celebrates innovations that are transforming daily life, and quip’s toothbrush stands out for its combination of sleek design, intuitive technology, and accessibility.
TIME evaluated over 300 innovations this year, selecting honorees based on originality, effectiveness, ambition, and overall impact. The Ultra Smart Sonic Toothbrush was highlighted for its ability to integrate professional-level oral care into everyday routines at an affordable price point.
Meredith Glansberg, CEO of quip, expressed pride in the recognition, stating, “Our goal at quip is to make electric toothbrushes an essential part of people’s daily rituals. Although more than 75% of dental professionals recommend using one, only a third of people do. This recognition from TIME affirms our belief that oral care can be both effective and enjoyable — and that we have the opportunity to help close that gap.”
The Ultra Smart Sonic Toothbrush is designed to deliver high-end performance and aesthetics while ensuring value for consumers. Key features include advanced sonic technology that reportedly removes 15 times more plaque between teeth compared to a manual toothbrush, based on in vitro studies. The toothbrush also boasts a two-week battery life, with a charge lasting up to 30 days when used on medium intensity.
Since its establishment in 2015, quip has aimed to transform oral care from a mundane task into an enjoyable ritual. The company has introduced a range of products that are both effective and easily accessible. These include award-winning water flossers, whitening strips, and various toothpastes.
The Ultra Smart Sonic Toothbrush is now available for purchase starting at $100 at www.getquip.com and in major retail outlets. With over 54 million products sold, quip continues to expand its reach and influence in the oral care market, with a subscription service that keeps its customers’ products fresh and effective.
