Conclusion
Conclusion
Most kids do brush, but we're not always sure if they have done it correctly and effectively. Even if we have assisted them, we're uncertain if we have done it properly ourselves.

Gal places a strong emphasis on her appearance and leads a healthy lifestyle. Gal is meticulous about her children's nutrition, allowing them sweets only on birthdays. Her 7-year-old daughter, Ariel, recently discovered a cavity in her tooth and has developed tooth decay, despite brushing her teeth every morning and evening with an electric toothbrush and using top-quality toothpaste. Ariel is quite apprehensive about dental appointments and takes some time to cooperate and allow the dentist to perform an examination.

"I'm really worried about her. I don't want kids to laugh at her; it's happened before. She has a very strong fear of dentists. How am I supposed to take her for a check-up now?"

Stars Notification
The camera with entertaining animations proved highly effective in motivating them to maintain their brushing routine.
They have a penchant for admiring themselves in the mirror and making playful expressions. I implemented a 2-minute timer and periodically informed them of their star rewards every 30 seconds. The enthusiasm generated by earning stars was so remarkable that I realized the need for a prominent display in the user interface.

AI Guided Brushing
The guided brushing feature proved highly beneficial as it provided
clear direction on where to brush effectively at any given moment.
Recognizing the importance of this feature, I made sure to
incorporate a user-friendly interface with engaging animations,
ensuring children can effortlessly utilize it while brushing.
Moreover, it includes alerts to promptly notify them if they've
missed brushing any teeth.

Accessories
I couldn't overlook the fact that users often utilize the app near the bathroom sink, a wet environment that can pose risks to their smartphones. To address this concern,
I have taken the initiative to design a mobile phone holder made from a flexible, water-resistant material.
Users will have the opportunity to acquire this convenient accessory by redeeming stars they earn shortly after their first app usage. This not only enhances the user experience but also encourages healthy dental habits in a safe and efficient manner.
