YAYA is a concept wearable device designed to revolutionize the way we straighten our teeth. As a smart wearable teeth brace, YAYA can detect the position of your teeth with its sensor, then shifts each tooth separately to the right place by using several magnetic controllers. YAYA can be connected to your smart device, such as your smart-phone or your smart-watch. This allows YAYA to remind users to put on it and get the best outcome.

YAYA provides a convenient and painless way to help users straighten their teeth with an aesthetic appearance. When the first-time user goes to visit the dentist, their teeth will be scanned and they will get a 3D model. Then a treatment plan will be made by the dentist. The user will get the product after it's designed and manufactured. The user needs to put on the device for 20 hours a day, but they can take off it when eating or brushing their teeth—unlike Invisalign, which needs to be changed dozens of times. YAYA can adjust tooth placement automatically, which is also more efficient and painless than traditional braces.

YAYA has two parts: the back part and the transparent front part. The back part is a standardized product in which the micro control unit and magnetic controller are put. The transparent front part is custom made and can be connected to the back part. It contains several different small parts, which are attached to each tooth. These transparent parts are 3D printed based on the first scan of user's teeth—this is how YAYA can shift each tooth separately.

When the user removes YAYA, they can put it into a wireless charging case that's clean and portable. Also, an app is designed to remind users to wear YAYA, and the user can also view their progress in this app.
