Testing Glokore OralCare Plus: Is it worth adding to your routine?

Try Glokore OralCare Plus

Keeping your teeth and gums healthy takes more than a quick brush in the morning. It’s a daily responsibility, even if brushing and flossing aren’t the most exciting parts of your routine.

But with dental treatments’ costs adding up, you might also be curious about new technologies that claim to give your routine a boost.

One option is low-level light therapy, which uses specific wavelengths of light being studied for their potential effects on oral health. Glokore OralCare Plus is designed with this in mind. It combines blue, red, and near-infrared LEDs in a handheld mouthpiece, with the aim of supporting healthier teeth and gums.

In this Glokore OralCare Plus review, I discuss my week of testing, examine the product’s claims and design, as well as look at what the available research tells us about its potential benefits. All to answer one question: is this health tech device worth adding to your shopping cart?

Glokore OralCare Plus: What is it?

Glokore OralCare Plus is a rechargeable, handheld LED mouthpiece designed for at-home oral care. It’s quite compact and appears to focus primarily on the front and middle teeth rather than providing a custom fit for your entire mouth.

This was my first time trying a light therapy device like Glokore OralCare Plus, and, like you, I was intrigued to learn more about it. However, I quickly ran into a lack of evidence-based information on Glokore’s official website.

The marketing claims didn't give me much clarity on what I could realistically expect from the product, so I focused on what I could learn from the device itself and my hands-on testing.

Speaking of design and convenience, I found the mouthpiece quite firm. Honestly, I struggled to keep it in place while holding my mouth open, and even after a minute, my jaw was already getting tired. This made the recommended session length feel like a serious challenge, and adjusting to the device was much harder than I’d expected at first.

How does it work?

To cut through Glokore’s marketing claims, I did a deep dive into the research on light therapy for teeth and gums.

Glokore OralCare Plus combines three wavelengths of light: 460nm blue, 620nm red, and 850nm near-infrared (NIR). Researchers have explored these wavelengths for their potential roles in managing oral bacteria, gum inflammation, and soft-tissue healing.

So, what do you know—there is some scientific rationale behind Glokore’s claims of healthier-looking gums and fresher breath

However, research into individual wavelengths doesn’t prove that this particular mouthpiece will provide you with the same benefits. Glokore doesn’t publish key details about its light output, making it difficult to compare with clinical studies.

Blue light

Blue light may help kill certain bacteria. Proposed mechanics are that some oral bacteria contain light-sensitive molecules that absorb blue light, triggering reactions that can damage them. This has led researchers to investigate blue light for plaque control and gum health, as well as reducing bacteria that may contribute to bad breath.

Yet, I have to say the evidence is mixed, and there may be no clear advantage of blue light mouthpiece over manual teeth brushing. Blue light also shouldn't be confused with tooth whitening, enamel repair, or cavity treatment.

Red light

Red light has been studied as a form of photobiomodulation, where low-level light may influence cell activity and the body’s inflammatory response.

Research suggests it may support gum healing after periodontal surgery and complement professional treatment for gum disease. The catch is that studies use different wavelengths, doses, and light sources. So, I can’t confirm whether the results apply to Glokore’s LED mouthpiece.

NIR light

Near-infrared light is generally thought to penetrate further into tissue than visible red light, although the actual depth depends on the tissue type, wavelength, and power output. Like red light, it’s being investigated for its potential role in supporting gum healing and periodontal treatment.

But promising research isn’t proof that Glokore can repair gum damage or reverse gum recession.

Adding OralCare Plus to my dental care routine

Glokore OralCare Plus comes with a charging cable and instruction manual. After an initial charge of around two hours, I was ready to give it a go. According to the manufacturer, you should use it daily for 10–15 minutes alongside your usual oral care routine.

I couldn’t find clear instructions on whether to use it before or after brushing, so I went with what seemed most logical: brush with fluoride toothpaste, floss, use OralCare Plus, and then rinse the mouthpiece with water.

Since I found it uncomfortable, my advice is to not force yourself to complete a session if you’re experiencing pain or jaw fatigue. One big issue I noticed was the fit. The mouthpiece isn’t custom-made for your teeth, so it may create awkward pressure points.

Some of my teeth aren’t perfectly aligned, as I’ve never had braces, and I could feel the device pressing against certain teeth. Combined with the effort of keeping my mouth open, this made the experience frustrating.

Speaking of results, don’t expect miracles as well. As I explained in the research section, there’s no good evidence that this particular device will whiten your teeth beyond their natural shade. During the week's testing, I did notice what looked like a reduction in plaque around my lower teeth, which overlap slightly and are usually tricky to clean. However, I can’t say for sure that the light therapy caused this change.

For now, I’d treat Glokore OralCare Plus as an experimental addition to your dental care routine.

Safety aspect

Low-level light therapy is generally considered low-risk when used appropriately, but there are still precautions to keep in mind when using a device like Glokore OralCare Plus.

Here’s what I’d recommend:

• Follow the manufacturer’s use instructions
• Don’t force the mouthpiece into position or continue if you experience pain
• Keep the device clean and store it according to the instructions
• Avoid using it if you have mouth sore, an oral infection, or gum bleeding
• After dental procedure, first consult with a dentist about using the device
• If you have a light-sensitivity condition or take photosensitizing medication, check with your healthcare professional before use

Most importantly, Glokore OralCare Plus is not a replacement for brushing, flossing, or professional dental care. It may offer additional benefits, but don’t just assume it will improve your oral health by itself.

Glokore OralCare Plus price and long-term value

Check the current price

Glokore OralCare Plus isn't the cheapest LED mouthpiece on the market, but its three-wavelength approach gives it an interesting selling point. More expensive alternatives, such as NovaaLab Oral Care Pro, retail for $169.90, compared with Glokore’s advertised $79.99.

You can also save by buying multiple devices: Glokore lists two for $69.99 each and three for $59.99 each. That may make sense if you’re buying for several family members.

As for long-term value, I couldn’t find information about the warranty period on the main product page. Glokore advertises lifetime support, but I’d contact the company to clarify what’s covered and for how long before buying.

That said, the brand currently offers a 60-day money-back guarantee.Though it’s still best to confirm the terms with Glokore’s customer support.

Verdict: Is Glokore OralCare Plus your match?

Whether Glokore OralCare Plus is truly worth it ultimately depends on your needs, expectations, and how comfortable you find the mouthpiece.

Personally, I liked that my teeth seemed cleaner after using OralCare Plus, particularly around areas where plaque tends to build up. Yet, I can’t say for certain that this device caused the improvement, and, because I found the mouthpiece uncomfortable, I wouldn’t add it to my wishlist.

That doesn’t mean you’ll have the same experience, though, as comfort varies depending on your teeth and jaw.

I’d still consider Glokore OralCare Plus if you’re comfortable with 10–15 minute sessions and want to experiment with an additional oral-care device, potentially sharing the cost savings when buying several pieces for your household.

Just keep your expectations realistic. OralCare Plus isn’t proven to whiten teeth, reverse gum recession, or remove hardened tartar. You’ll still need regular brushing, flossing, and dentist check-ups to keep your teeth healthy.
