18 month old won't let me brush his teeth

My 18 month outright refuses to let me brush his teeth. He will take the brush himself but doesn't actually do anything. His breath is starting to smell. Does anyone have any tips to help me get him to let me brush them?
Thank you.

I've been having issues with my 15 month old. What has worked for us is the you tube video 'simple songs brush your teeth' and an electronic toothbrush - the same one posted above. The electric toothbrush stopped working so I switched to manual and had issues. Bought another electric and bingo. And sorry about the song as you'll be singing it all day...it's quite catchy 😂
