Oral care brand Ordo has launched a range of adaptive toothbrush handles, a milestone for the oral care industry. 

The handles are specifically created for those with dexterity challenges, such as arthritis or carpal tunnel syndrome. They are created to make brushing teeth easier, comfortable and pain-free, and are produced locally using 3D-printed, recycled bioplastic. 

Users can select the size, shape, texture and colour of their adaptor, with 54 designs and five colour options available.  

Ordo CEO Barty Walsh explains: "We've always focused on designing with real people in mind. The accessories range is a response to feedback from users with dexterity issues."

Dentist Dr Michael adds: "These handles are a real game-changer - ergonomic, tactile and confidence-boosting for those who've struggled for too long." 

The adaptive handles are now available in the UK at Ordo.
