The Ultrablu toothbrush was developed by a company called TechLight Solutions. They already made dental gadgets that could be used in surgeries to cure dental restorations by using blue light technology. This blue light technology suppresses the organisms that are commonly associated with the bacteria which can cause gum diseases, and the head of TechLight Solutions, Mike Barnes of Florida, realised that his invention could be used in a toothbrush to reach a wider audience.

Barnes had looked at other ways of getting his invention into American homes, before settling on the toothbrush method as an easy and relatively inexpensive option. The light is perfectly safe for eyes and skin and works by inducing a photodynamic reaction that kills the bacteria organisms on contact. It can even help make gums healthier by encouraging the bacteria that improve gum health to increase in number.
