Electric toothbrushes are scientifically proven to remove more plaque than manual toothbrushes. They are more easy to use as they supply the brushing action for you, and can have many extra features to optimize brushing and give you dentist clean teeth. There are many types of electric toothbrush on the market so it should be simple to find a brush that fits your oral health needs. The two top selling brands, Oral-B and Sonicare have a selection of electric brushes at varying costs that have some different features. So which is better, an Oral B or Sonicare Electrical Toothbrush?
Braun Oral-B range retails from almost 50 GBP to nearly 170 GBP and has electric toothbrushes with circular brush heads that revolve with an oscillating motion. The premium brushes have many modes for sensitive teeth, massaging of gums and bleaching of discolored teeth. Unique pressure mechanism tell people when they're brushing with too much power so my somehow destroy the teeth; the high range brushes have a visible pressure sensor that lights up to tell the user to reduce pressure, the lower range brushes make an audible sound.
Each brush in the range has a timer so teeth can be brushed to the perfect (dentist recommended) 120-seconds cleaning period. A quadrant placer function will see the brush stutter every 30 seconds to encourage you to head off to a different area of the mouth, so achieving ideal cleaning of the whole area.
The entire range has compatibility with multiple brush heads so that the user can choose whichever they prefer. The more pricey brushes in the range include a brush head holder, lavatory storage unit and a travel case and charger.
The premium range Triumph 5000 is recommended by The Brit Dental Health Foundation and has received the highest award of any toothbrush on the market. Its outlining feature is the wireless digital Smart Guide unit, that has a Star Reward system to prompt brushing. The very unique unit gives you a pressure alam, timer, quadrant prompt and ‘replace brush head ‘ indicator and wireless syncs with the toothbrush to give realtime feedback on teeth cleaning. The Star Reward system is composed of 5 stars that illuminate one at a time as teeth are brushed, rewarding with the highest note only when brushed correctly in the allocated time.
The Philip’s Sonicare range retails from almost 20 GBP to nearly 250 GBP and has electric toothbrushes with diamond formed brush heads that palpitate from side to side, not with an oscillating movement. The brushes use Philip’s patented sonic cleaning action, which claims to remove more plaque than any other electric toothbrush. Like the Oral-B range, the more costly brushes have numerous sensitive, massaging and bleaching modes to look after teeth and gums, but the range does not include the advanced pressure sensor technology. Sonicare electric toothbrushes have timers for intensive mouth cleaning, and the quadrant placer, where the toothbrush will stutter to tell the user to move to a different area of the mouth. The interchangeable brush heads are not compatible with different brushes in the range so explicit heads must be purchased for each type. Philips is developing a new green brush head but this is still in production. The most costly brush in the range, the Sonicare Diamond Clean, is considerably dearer than its Oral-B opposite number but lasts for an impressive three weeks when charged, has a particularly modern slim design and comes with a stylish glass charger and USB travel case/charger.
