Abstract

An oral care system including an oral care device and a processor. The oral care device includes a head having cleaning elements and a vibrational sensor configured to determine vibrational data emitted by the oral care device in use. The processor is operably coupled to the vibrational sensor and is configured to: determine, based on the vibrational data, an applied pressure of the cleaning elements upon an oral cavity of a user; determine an optimal pressure associated with the oral cavity of the user and a non-optimal pressure associated with the oral cavity of the user; and based on the applied pressure of the cleaning elements upon the oral cavity being substantially the non-optimal pressure, cause the applied pressure of the cleaning elements upon the oral cavity to be substantially the optimal pressure.
