MADISON, Wis., Aug. 14 (Nationwide Times) — Augmental’s MouthPad is a custom-fit mouthpiece that lets users control phones, tablets and computers without using their hands. The device uses a pressure-sensitive touchpad placed against the roof of the mouth, along with head tracking, to move a cursor and perform common actions.
Augmental announced public U.S. sales on July 22, 2026, after an Early Access program that began in 2024. The company lists the price at $1,400 for one device or $1,900 for two devices made for the same user.
How the MouthPad works
The MouthPad connects over Bluetooth and is designed to work with macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android, according to Augmental. It can control a cursor, clicks, scrolling, dragging and swiping.
The user operates the device with tongue and head movements. A tongue press can function as a left click or start a click-and-drag action. Augmental also describes a sip gesture for a right click. Head movements help guide the cursor.
MIT News described the device in 2024 as a touchpad operated by the tongue, with motion sensors supporting head control. The technology is intended to provide another way to interact with everyday devices, particularly for people with limited mobility, Augmental says.
Why it must be custom-fitted
Each MouthPad is made for an individual user. Augmental says the fitting process begins with an intraoral or dental 3D scan. The scan allows the company to manufacture a mouthpiece shaped for the user’s mouth.
Augmental says customers generally pay $50 to $150 for the scan, depending on the provider. The company estimates delivery at about six months after it receives the scan.
The company says the device is intended for people over 18 who have sufficient tongue dexterity. The supplied information does not establish how the device performs across different users or conditions, or whether it affects speech, comfort or eating.
Where it is available
Augmental currently sells and ships MouthPad only to U.S. addresses. The company says the device is not geo-restricted, so a person may be able to use it outside the United States after obtaining one.
The product’s U.S. sales status is different from its technical compatibility. Although it is designed to work with several operating systems and device types, customers outside the United States cannot currently order it directly from Augmental under the company’s stated shipping policy.
What remains unclear
The available information does not include independent testing of the MouthPad’s accuracy, reliability, comfort or accessibility benefits. It also does not identify an independent security review or provide details about privacy protections for the Bluetooth connection.
Some secondary reports describe battery life of more than seven hours, but the research available here does not establish that figure through Augmental’s official product information. The materials also do not establish whether the device has received regulatory clearance or what health and safety testing it has undergone.
