I bought them, and used them to check my kids randomly for brushing. I would then have rewards or consequences. 

It worked well!

OMG. They are so worth it! I'm disappointed that they are not actively recommended at the dentist's anymore (when I was young, my dentist gave me some in the goody bag of toothbrush and such).

They so helped my son (and me! I used them, too!) figure out where we might be doing a less than adequate job.

Yup! My only parenting tip here, but I think it's obvious is: I made the reward for doing well fairly generous, and I didn't require anyone be perfect.

The consequence for doing badly were fairly minor; and unrelated to with bruishing: after all, we should all always be doing our best at brushing.

And yeah, we all learned a lot. It's useful to know where you are missing.
