ABOUT ARCO
About Arco | Adaptive Oral Care Solutions for Easier Daily Brushing
Brushing, made easier.
Arco is an oral-care technology brand focused on creating practical solutions for people who experience barriers with traditional toothbrushing.
Arco Brush is an adaptive oral-care solution designed to support a simpler daily brushing routine for people who may experience challenges related to dexterity, coordination, fatigue, sensory preferences, mobility, routine completion or requiring support from another person.
We believe daily oral care should be easier to approach, more achievable and supported by clear information that helps individuals, families, carers and professionals make informed decisions.
Why Arco was created
For many people, brushing is not simply about remembering to brush.
Traditional toothbrushing can rely on:
- Grip strength
- Fine motor control
- Hand coordination
- Brushing technique
- Timing
- Sensory tolerance
- Maintaining a consistent routine
For some individuals, these everyday requirements can create barriers to completing oral-care routines independently.
Arco Brush was developed to provide a more structured and guided approach to brushing for people who experience challenges with traditional toothbrushes.
REAL-WORLD CHALLENGES
Designed around real-world oral-care challenges
Oral hygiene is an important part of everyday health and personal care. However, many people experience barriers that can make brushing more difficult, including:
Disability-related challenges
Some individuals may experience difficulties with hand strength, dexterity, coordination, mobility or completing personal-care tasks independently.
Sensory and routine challenges
Some individuals, including some autistic people, may experience sensory preferences around toothbrushes, difficulty tolerating traditional brushing, challenges with routine changes or preference for predictable activities.
Support needs
Some people may require assistance from parents, family members, carers, support workers or care teams.
Arco aims to support these situations by providing a structured oral-care option that can be considered alongside individual needs and preferences.
