Abstract

The present disclosure provides concepts for predicting wear of a brush head of an oral care device. The brush head comprises a brush body and cleaning elements mounted on the brush body for contact with an oral surface of a user. An image of the brush head including the cleaning elements is obtained. The image is then compared to reference image data describing an expected appearance of the cleaning elements of an unused brush head. A wear score indicating a degree of wear of the brush head is generated based on a result of the comparison of the image and the reference image data. In this way, an accurate prediction of an extent to which a brush head is worn may be obtained, based on which appropriate action can be recommended and/or actioned.
