Most toothbrushes ask your child to accept everything at once: the feel of the bristles, the buzzing, the taste of paste and someone else’s hands in their mouth. For a sensory-sensitive kiddo, that is simply too much, no matter how soft or fun the brush is.
BrushTruce works the other way around. The app breaks brushing into 14 small steps. Starting with just holding the brush and only moves on when your child is calm and ready. If a day goes badly, it simply goes one step back.
When your little one is ready, the quiet, low-vibration U-shape brush makes the last step easier. They gently move it from side to side and the U-shape reaches the spots kids usually miss.
Made for Kids Who Bite, Gag or Hate Toothpaste
Biters and chewers: The app adapts to your child’s progress and 1 free replacement brush head is included in case the original gets chewed up.
Kids who gag: The app adjusts the planto your child’s needs and if gagging happens often, the app suggests checking in with a dentist, OT or speech therapist.
Toothpaste haters:Paste-sensitive mode skips paste until step 13, then starts with just a tiny drop.
Sound- and touch-sensitive kids: Quiet, low vibration, no music or lights and soft heads made for sensitive mouths.
How It Works
1. Check the Brush Truce Before the first use, check if the brush is charged. If it is not, charge it with the included USB cable.
2. Install the app After your order, you will get an email with a link. It shows you how to add the app to your phone in just a few taps. No account, no password.
3. Answer 9 quick questions Tell the app a little about your child and it suggests where to start. 4. Practice at your child's pace The app guides you step by step, starting with just holding the brush. It only moves on when your child is calm and ready.
5. Brush in about 60 seconds When your child is ready, they place the U-shaped head in their mouth and gently move it from side to side.
Plan for weeks, not days. Every child moves at their own pace.

You have tried everything: soft brushes, finger brushes, every toothpaste flavor, songs, prizes, maybe even holding them down. And still brushing ends with a clamped-shut mouth, a meltdown or both of you in tears. That does not make you a bad parent. For sensory-sensitive kids, scratchy bristles, buzzing, mint and the feeling of losing control can simply be too much at once.
Brush Truce was made for exactly these kids. Instead of asking your child to accept everything at once, it starts where they are, sometimes with just holding the brush. No holding down, no rushing and no guilt when a day goes badly. Just small, calm steps toward the day your little one brushes on their own.

A Stop Button That's Always There
A big Stop button is always on screen, and the timer only starts when you tap Start.

You will see small wins like ‘3 calm practices this week’. No red warnings, no lost streaks, and a step back is always normal.

What To ExpectWhen Your Child Starts Brush Truce
Every child moves at their own pace. Plan for weeks, not days.
STEP 1
Meeting the Brush
No brushing yet, and that is the point.
Your child just holds the brush and gets used to it. No pressure.
STEP 2
Getting Closer
Small steps toward the mouth.
Move the brush a little closer each time, only when your child is calm.
STEP 3
First Brushes
A few gentle seconds.
Short practices that grow slowly. Hard day? The app takes a step back.
STEP 4
The Full Routine
About 60 calm seconds.
Brushing becomes part of the day, and more and more, they do it on their own.
JENNIFER'S STORY
From Brushing Battles to a Little More Peace
Jennifer, mom of 5-year-old Noah, shares her story to easier brushing.
My name is Jennifer, and I am a mom to my wonderful five-year-old son, Noah. He is full of personality and has the sweetest smile. But for a long time, one part of our routine turned even our best days upside down: brushing his teeth.
The moment I mentioned brushing, Noah would pull away, say no, or become so upset that I struggled to know what to do next. Sometimes he would bite down on the toothbrush. Other times, he would refuse to open his mouth at all. I tried different toothbrushes, little games and rewards. Some things worked for a moment, but nothing made the routine easier for both of us.
I knew Noah was not trying to make my life difficult. He was having a hard time and I wanted to find a better way to help him.
That’s when I discovered Brush Truce. Instead of expecting him to accept everything at once, it takes things at his pace, step by step.
I do not need every routine to be perfect. I just want to take care of my little boy in a way that works for him. Every child deserves a gentler approach. And every parent deserves to know they are not alone in the brushing battles.
Jennifer, mom of Noah

My 9 year old daughter is on the autism spectrum and teeth-brushing has always been an unwanted "chore" for her. It's caused many meltdowns in the past. We tried so many different things, including the Hum Kids toothbrush, but nothing kept her interested consistently and her breath was terrible. The Brush Truce is adorable, convenient and whimsical. She LOVES it. She brushes her teeth twice a day now, if not more, because she loves it. The vibrations are soothing. The settings are easy to figure out and it's also cute. Now my kid's breath smells better and she has fun brushing her teeth. It's a little pricey, but definitely worth it.
I bought this for my 10 year old son who has moderate/severe autism to give him more independence with self care activities. I have to brush his teeth for him and always used traditional toothbrushes but when. He seems to really enjoy the process and he is learning how to do it himself without my assistance which was the goal. I am beyond happy with this item. A whole experience getting the toothbrush and using. I appreciate the great quality and different vibration settings as well as ability to turn the music on or off. The size is perfect for little hands to hold. I do wish they had more older child color/character variations to choose from but we went with the bear sky which was cute and a nice blue color. This has allowed my autistic son the ability to brush his teeth himself with little assistance from me and for that I am thankful for this product and highly recommend to anyone looking to help their children gain independence and ensuring they get a thorough brushing accomplished at the same time. The 60 seconds seems to leave his teeth clean upon examining them and I will update at our next dentist checkup in the spring.
For neurodivergentkids: this brush is a godsend! I had trouble with brushing, could never do it for long enough, the sensations were too much for too long, and the toothpaste always sent my salivary glands into overdrive. Not a party in my childs mouth. So the Brush Truce addresses a lot of these problems. It cuts the total brush time down to 60 seconds! I can do that, 2 minutes seems like an eternity now!
I bought this U-shaped electric toothbrush for my sensory sensitive little girl, and honestly, I loved it. The design is super cute and eye-catching (it looks just like a little toy), so it actually makes my child want to brush their teeth without having to constantly nag them. I really like that it cleans 360 degrees; I feel it genuinely helps cover every tooth more effectively especially since kids sometimes don't brush thoroughly. Plus, it features several different modes and is easy to use. It’s also waterproof, which is a huge plus because I don't have to worry if it gets wet. It comes with extra brush heads, so it lasts longer, and the battery life has held up really well for me, too. Overall, it’s a great option for motivating kids to maintain better dental hygiene. I highly recommend it especially if your little one isn't a fan of brushing!
I really love this sensory sensitive kids’ toothbrush! Colour and quality are amazing. My kids love the cute koala design and are always excited to brush their teeth. It comes with a U-shaped brush. It makes brushing more fun and encourages them to brush every day. Highly recommend for sensory sensitive kids!
This electric toothbrush is absolutely adorable and works really well. I love the cute design, and the U-shaped brush makes brushing feel quick and easy. It’s lightweight, simple to use, and comes with the accessories needed to get started. The rechargeable feature is also very convenient. It’s a great option for sensory sensitive kids. Definitely happy with this purchase!
Very happy with this purchase. I ws not sure how my son with Autism wld like it, but the differnt level of vibrations are jst perfect and can use with no vibration and jst the uv light. No syrong chemical smell or plastic , lerfect timer shut off and charg last awhile My son loves it!!
Fun Kids ToothBrush! The size is perfect for them, and really does fit and matter for a kid. The design is also very fun! My daughter loves it and definitely makes her brush way more since it’s more fun. The charging is great, and is sustainable for longer periods of time. It also has different levels of speed and vibration, which makes it easier for kids to brush. The bristles are also pretty soft, and wouldn’t hurt a kid too much. Very durable as well. Worth its price!!!
Worked great for my 3.5yo son who has the world's strongest gag reflex, normal toothbrushes always make him gag. After about a week of trying to get him to use it, he finally took to it and was even ASKING to brush his teeth, that has NEVER happened before.
The best product to brush my baby's teeth, with this it's easier and more practical that he lets him do his cleaning even he handles it and with only 3 years old and he helps himself to brush his teeth alone it made my life easier, I recommend it 💯 for children, deep cleaning
I’m really happy with this kids’ toothbrush. The quality is good, it charges well, and it’s easy for my child to use. I also really like the price because it offers a lot for the cost. Overall, it’s a great toothbrush for kids and I would recommend it.

My son loves the bear design, and it gets him excited about brushing his teeth every day.The U-shape and soft bristles clean very well, even hard-to-reach areas. It has several cleaning modes, and the battery lasts a long time. It is very easy to use and safe for children.I definitely recommend it for making the dental routine fun and effective.

I bought this for my child, and it’s been a great addition to our daily routine. The fun koala design immediately caught their attention, making brushing much easier and less of a struggle. The U-shaped brush is comfortable to use, and the different cleaning modes are a nice feature. While I still recommend teaching proper brushing habits and checking that all teeth are being cleaned, this toothbrush has made brushing more enjoyable and consistent in our home. Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase and would recommend it to other parents looking for a fun electric toothbrush for kids.
The U-shaped brush fits comfortably in small mouths and cleans all sides of the teeth at once, which is perfect for children who don’t like traditional toothbrushes. The 3 different modes are easy to use and allow us to choose the setting that works best. I also appreciate the 360-degree cleaning design because it helps ensure better coverage while my child learns proper brushing habits.
Great for the kids interest. Overall it got our two little ones interested in brushing and taught them how to get all of their teeth so it did the job.
I bought this Brush Truce U-Shaped Electric Toothbrush for my young child, and it has made brushing teeth so much easier and more enjoyable. The cute dinosaur design immediately caught my child’s attention, and now brushing time is something they actually look forward to.
Great quality and such a cute design! The toothbrush feels well-made, and my little sensory sensitive brother loved it as soon as he saw it. It makes brushing more fun for him, and we’re really happy with the cleaning results. His teeth feel nice and clean afterward. Very happy with this purchase!
Great quality, my 3-year-old son absolutely loves this cute toothbrush. He is willing to brush teeth by himself now. Works well and totally worth it. Highly recommend!
Such a cutety little toothbrush! My sensory sensitive child loves the U-shape design and is actually excited to brush their teeth now. It makes brushing more fun and interesting for kids. Highly recommend!
