World Health Day: How Ordo’s Adaptive Toothbrush and Ergonomic Toothbrush Designs are Changing Oral Care

World Health Day Spotlight: A Toothbrush for Every Hand with Custom Ergonomic Designs 

Each year, World Health Day shines a light on critical health issues affecting people across the globe. In 2025, Ordo is using this day to raise awareness of the 360+ million people worldwide living with dexterity challenges. From Rheumatoid Arthritis to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, such conditions can turn the simple act of brushing your teeth into a painful and difficult task. 

One groundbreaking solution: the {access}ories range of ergonomic toothbrush handles. Designed with adaptability and comfort at their core, these accessories support users by offering bespoke oral care tools that can be tailored to individual needs. The adaptive handle designs feature adjustable dimensions, textures, shapes, and even colourways—ensuring users enjoy a more accessible and dignified oral care experience. 

This innovation directly aligns with World Health Day’s vision of universal access to healthcare solutions, removing barriers to oral hygiene and empowering independence. 

Accessible Style: Express Yourself with Over 200 Unique {access}ories Handles 

Accessible design should never mean clinical or boring. That’s why we want to merge functionality with flair. The {access}ories range doesn’t just offer ergonomic solutions—it delivers over 200 different combinations of handle types, textures and colours. 

Whether someone prefers the modern edge of charcoal or wants a pop of bright colour in their morning routine, users can choose what suits them best. This level of personalisation encourages more frequent and enjoyable brushing habits. When products reflect your identity and tastes, you're more likely to engage with them every day. 

And this is the magic of our approach: it treats accessibility not as a compromise but as a celebration of individuality. 

Built with You: Ordo’s Adaptive Toothbrush Designs Co-Created with the Community 

We didn’t just design a toothbrush handle and call it accessible. Instead, they worked closely with people who live with dexterity issues at every stage of development. From the ordering process to unboxing, using, and maintaining the brush, user insight informed each touchpoint. 

This co-creation approach led to thoughtful details like textured grips, optimised shapes for reduced hand strain, and digital personalisation tools that allow users to tailor their handle online. Real people. Real feedback. Real impact. 

One participant in the development process noted how difficult it had always been to brush independently due to arthritis in both hands. By using the curved handle paired with a notched grip, they were finally able to manage their oral hygiene without assistance. 

Sustainable Smiles: Eco-Friendly Adaptive Toothbrushes Crafted from Recycled Bioplastic 

Accessibility shouldn’t come at the planet’s expense. We’ve made sure it doesn’t. Each {access}ories handle is crafted from recycled bioplastic, manufactured locally using advanced 3D-printing technology. 

Because each piece is made to order, there’s no unnecessary inventory, no wasteful surplus, and a significantly smaller carbon footprint. This circular system helps keep sustainability and accessibility tightly linked, fulfilling the environmental goals of World Health Day alongside health and inclusivity. 

This local, on-demand production model also means each product is built specifically for its user. It’s not just efficient; it’s personal. Ordo prioritises reducing environmental impact without compromising user needs, merging ethical manufacturing with exceptional design. 

When you choose Ordo, you’re not just choosing comfort. You’re supporting a smarter, greener way to care for yourself.
