electric toothbrushes provide a benefit in reducing levels of gum disease (compared to manual toothbrushes) both in the short term (6%) and long term (11%). For people wearing braces, a reviewof the evidence concluded that there is no reason to support the use of electric toothbrushes for reducing plaque on teeth and avoiding gum disease (although this evidence only covered a period of 8 weeks). There are no rubber grips like some other Oral-B models. It might not feel quite as secure in hand for some, but the benefit is that it is easy to wipe clean. Whilst the brushes have different cleaning modes, the basic cleaning action is the same on all models. Although the Genius 9000 is more powerful and can technically clean the teeth more effectively in reality the difference is very small given the Pro/Smart Series are already powerful.

Consumer oral health care products are independently evaluated. This is to ensure they are safe and that the claims made are proven and not exaggerated. Reliable scientific evidence is usually required. Teeth can shift with age - because of injury, a condition called tongue thrust, or natural growth – and some adults find that their previously straight teeth have become crooked and overcrowded. They may startexperiencing jaw pain, having difficulty properly cleaning their teeth, or simply facing a smile they find unattractive. The motor in the Vitality offers 7,800 oscillations only, compared tot eh 8,800 oscillations and 20,000 pulsations of the Pro 500.

What differs is the power/intensity of the mode and the brushing time. Very often the likes of a ‘deep clean’ mode will last for 3 minutes. You will see that the more feature-rich, and typically more expensive models are shown on the right, compared to the more cost effective models on the left. Thank you, you truly are a benchmark in this argument. I’m trying to decide which to buy today between the Sonicare Hx6511/50 and the Oral-B PRO 2 2500…

The cost of replacement heads affects the long term ownership cost. It is worth factoring into your decision. Oral-B brush heads are cheaper than Sonicare.The Prestige has more features than you need, but it is the best smart toothbrush on the market today. Cavities and Tooth Decay is one of the most common and widespread persistent diseases today and is also one of the most preventable. o 1950: It all started with a dentist, who created the first Oral-B toothbrush and its soft, end-rounded nylon bristles. Dr. Robert Hutson, a California periodontist, designed and patented the first Oral-B toothbrush. He also created the Oral-B brand name. "The first product was known as the Oral-B 60," said Dr. Hutson, "because it had 60 tufts." Yes, technically there are even more budget-friendly options, but for us their compromises stop them from being strong considerations. Mouthpiece style toothbrushes are trying to help with this. They have a brush head that positions the bristles at the perfect 45 degree angle. But, in addition, it attempts to clean all tooth surfaces at the same time. Conceptually it is a great idea. However, in practice, it does not work. It fails to reach all the tooth and gum surfaces, leaving lots of plaque behind. And despite being designed to correct technique issues, there is still a technique to use it. Worryingly, there is a kids version. The engaging characters on the brush handle are fun. But it is no replacement to regular toothbrushing. We don’t recommend mouthpiece toothbrushes

Our children have always had electric brushes and are now 8. We are looking at buying either the Sonicare for Kids, or the Pro 2 2500 with sensitive brush heads. Both children are very used to using electric brushes and so we are thinking that the ‘adult’ version with soft heads may be the preferred option. After spending 12 years in consumer technology, it was in 2014 that he focused his attention on dental health, having experienced first-hand the challenge of choosing a new toothbrush. Being based in the UK, I have not gone hands-on with the Smart 7 7000, but having looked it appears to be very similar to a model we have in the UK called the Smart 6 6000. At that price it isn't a bad buy. I would argue better than the 4000 as rather then multiple extra heads & a brush head holder in the box, you get a more useful travel case.
