New app features Disney and Marvel animated characters Oral-B announced the launch of an interactive oral care app for kids, the new Disney Magic Timer by Oral-B app. The app was created in collaboration with Disney and is powered by DreamPlay. Procter & Gamble said the oral care app helps kids increase brushing time. Research suggests that most people, and especially children, do not meet recommended brushing goals, and typically spend less than one minute brushing dental equipment. The Disney Magic Timer App by Oral-B brings to life Disney and Marvel characters featured on the Oral-B and Crest Pro-Health Stages products. Kids are challenged to complete two minutes of brushing, and each time they brush, Disney and Marvel character images are revealed. Kids have the opportunity to unlock 16 custom animations and 1,600 rewards, ensuring the app maintains its novelty and transforming the act of brushing into a game contra angle handpiece. The app is set for a 21-day cycle, to help establish good habits. Procter & Gamble conducted a brushing study that revealed nine out of 10 kids brush longer when brushing with the Disney Magic Timer App by Oral-B. The Disney Magic Timer App by Oral-B is free and works with any Oral-B or Crest Pro-Health Stages products. The two-minute timer app can be downloaded via the Apple App Store on iTunes and on Google Play. Oral-B has also partnered with Olympic Gold Medalist and mother of two, Dominque Moceanu, to raise awareness about the importance of children’s oral care and garner excitement around the launch of the new app. Oral-B and Moceanu are asking parents to share stories via pictures and videos on Instagram about the craziest steps they have taken or would take to get their children to brush their teeth. “As a mom, I know how impossible it can be to instill healthy oral care habits in my kids” said Moceanu. “I have gone to great lengths including singing our ABC's and tickling my children to get them to brush. That is why I am so excited to partner with Oral-B and use the new app with my children.” To celebrate the new app, Oral-B and Disney are excited to announce the launch of the Disney Magical Time in NYC Sweepstakes. Consumers can enter for the chance to win an unforgettable Disney experience in New York City. Five additional winners will receive travel kits, including Oral-B and Crest Pro-Health Stages products and a tablet to download the new Disney Magic Timer App by Oral-B. dental scaling machine
