I remember reading about it a long time ago.All you have to do is grind your teeth for like 10 seconds and you get a full clean supposedly.

I wouldn't trust the 10 seconds bit, because a standard brush needs 2 minutes, but otherwise it seems pretty nifty.

It's brushing all your teeth at the same time, so the 2 minutes brush is divided by how many teeth you have.
