MADISON, Wis., Aug. 14 (Nationwide Times) — Augmental’s MouthPad is a custom-fit mouthpiece that lets users control a cursor, click, scroll, drag and swipe without using their hands. The device is designed for phones, tablets and computers and is sold by the company for $1,400 per unit.
Augmental says public U.S. sales began July 22, 2026, after an Early Access program that started in 2024. The company currently sells and ships the device only to U.S. addresses, although it says MouthPad can be used outside the United States once obtained.
How the device works
MouthPad places a pressure-sensitive touchpad against the roof of the mouth. Users move a cursor with their tongue, while head movements provide another form of control. A tongue press can serve as a left click or begin a click-and-drag action. Augmental also describes a sip gesture for a right click.
The device connects wirelessly through Bluetooth. Augmental says it works with macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android, allowing it to control a range of computers and mobile devices.
Because the mouthpiece is made for an individual user, the fitting process begins with an intraoral or dental 3D scan. Augmental says delivery takes about six months after it receives the scan. The company estimates that the scan itself generally costs between $50 and $150, depending on the provider.
Who it is designed for
Augmental developed MouthPad as another way for people with limited mobility to interact with everyday technology. The company says the device is intended for people over 18 who have sufficient tongue dexterity.
The product could also be used in situations where hands-free computer control is useful. However, the supplied product information does not establish how well it performs for different users or how it affects comfort, speech or eating. There is no independent testing in the available material assessing its accuracy or accessibility outcomes.
What it costs and what remains unclear
Augmental lists one MouthPad at $1,400. Two devices for the same user cost $1,900, according to the company. The available information does not identify insurance coverage or a public reimbursement program for the device.
Some technical details reported by secondary sources have not been independently confirmed against Augmental’s own documentation. Those reports describe more than seven hours of continuous use, a charging time of about 1.5 hours and a weight of roughly 10 grams. Reports differ on the weight of particular models, so those figures should be treated cautiously.
The available material also does not show whether MouthPad has received regulatory clearance, what health and safety testing it has undergone, or whether its stated battery certifications have been independently verified. No independent security review or analysis of its Bluetooth connection was identified.
For now, the clearest limitation is availability: the custom device is marketed globally as usable outside the United States, but Augmental says its sales and shipping remain limited to U.S. addresses.
