Meet TIO. TIO is a toothbrush that combines clean design, efficient oral care, and reduces environmental impact. Made of bio-plastic, 60% less packaging materials are needed to create the toothbrush. The brush head is removable, so rather than changing out your toothbrush every few months, you only need to replace the brush head. As a result, waste is reduced up to 70% compared to traditional toothbrushes.
