The questioner says: May Allah inform you, Honorable Shaykh, does using the toothbrush and toothpaste earn a person reward, such that it becomes a recommended practice (sunnah) by analogy with the miswak?
Answer:
There is no doubt that it accomplishes what the miswak accomplishes. If one uses the brush and toothpaste, this accomplishes what the miswak accomplishes in cleaning the teeth and purifying the smell of the mouth. Yes.
