MADISON, Wis., Aug. 14 (Nationwide Times) — Augmental Technologies’ MouthPad is a custom-fitted mouthpiece that lets users control a cursor, click, scroll and swipe without using their hands. The device is designed to work with phones, tablets and computers through Bluetooth.
The product is aimed in part at people with limited mobility, according to Augmental. It is currently sold and shipped only to U.S. addresses, although the company says it can be used outside the United States because it is not geo-restricted.
How MouthPad works
MouthPad places a pressure-sensitive touchpad against the roof of the mouth. Sensors interpret movements from the tongue and head and translate them into computer-input commands.
Augmental says users can move the cursor with their tongue or by moving their head. Pressing the tongue on the touchpad can create a left click or begin a click-and-drag action. A sip gesture can serve as a right click. The system also supports actions such as scrolling, dragging and swiping.
The device connects over Bluetooth and is listed as compatible with macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android. MIT News described the same basic design and control system in a 2024 report on the technology.
MouthPad functions as an input device, much like a conventional touchpad or mouse. It does not replace a phone, tablet or computer; instead, it offers another way to send commands to those devices.
Why it is custom-fitted
Each MouthPad is made for an individual user. Augmental says the fitting process begins with an intraoral or dental 3D scan. The resulting model is used to manufacture a mouthpiece shaped for that person.
The company says delivery takes about six months after it receives the scan. It also says the scan generally costs between $50 and $150, depending on the provider.
Augmental’s official site lists the price at $1,400 for one device or $1,900 for two devices made for the same user. The company says the product is intended for people over 18 with sufficient tongue dexterity.
Who can buy it
Augmental announced public U.S. sales on July 22, 2026, after an Early Access program that began in 2024. The company’s website says it currently ships only within the United States.
That restriction matters for international users who may be able to use the device but cannot currently order it directly from Augmental. The company has not established wider shipping availability in the information cited here.
What remains unclear
The supplied information does not include independent testing of MouthPad’s accuracy, comfort, effect on speech or usefulness for different accessibility needs. It also does not establish whether the device has received regulatory clearance or what health and safety testing was performed.
Some secondary reports have cited battery life of more than seven hours, a weight of about 10 grams and a charging time of about 1.5 hours. Those specifications were not confirmed against Augmental’s official product information in the supplied records and are therefore not treated here as established product specifications.
No independent security assessment was identified. The available information also does not detail how Bluetooth data is protected or what information the device collects.
For now, MouthPad’s clearest change is to the method of control: it moves familiar touchpad actions into the mouth, using a custom device that Augmental says can provide hands-free access to everyday technology.
