Oral-B Trizone Electric Toothbrush Head, Pack of 4, Plaque Remover, 3 Bristle Zones for Deep Cleaning, White

Product Information

Thank you for the guide, it’s very helpful! I have partially ruptured wisdom teeth on my lower jaw, which are still mostly covered by ‘gum flaps’ (an ‘operculum’ i think it’s called?). It’s very hard to clean effectively under these gum flaps and often I struggle with a bad smell/taste coming from this area. Thankfully Oral-B have a solution that works well with braces, in fact the Ortho Brush Headhas been specifically designed with this in mind. The main difference between this and the Gentle Care head is that the latter is designed for those who suffer from sensitive gums. With a specially-designed overlay of concave and convex bristle trim patterns, the Gentle Care head provides a cushioning outer ring of bristles that boast the smallest diameter filaments of any Oral-B brush head. This makes it extra gentle so to protect sensitive teeth and gums. Looking quite different to most other brush heads, 3 outer bristle tufts sit around a single inner tuft. The 3 outer tufts are blue in colour, longer in length and angled to create a kind of tip as they lean into the centre of the round brush head where you find the cluster of white bristles. That central cluster of bristles is slightly longer than the outer blue ones. The first iO model was launched in 2020. In the last 2 years, many more models have been added, so I suspect other companies will soon begin creating an aftermarket option now that the iO models are becoming more commonplace.

Up close you can see how the tuft of bristles in the middle of the outer bristle tuft is actually slightly taller/longer to achieve this. There are two different iO brush heads available on the market at present, the Ultimate Clean head and the Gentle Care head. Thank you so much for such a speedy reply. Really appreciate you taking the time to do this & I’ll look into all of these suggestions now. To summarise, the Ultimate Clean and Gentle Care heads are essentially the iO equivalents to the CrossAction and Sensitive Clean that are our recommended choices. larger tufts of bristles create a rounded edge to this small circular brush head. They are made up of 3 different coloured bristles (white, lilac and dark blue).You’d think that by its name the “Floss Action” would perform best in this respect, but I’m not so sure. Reply

It is the Pro series brush heads with the 3D oscillating, rotating and pulsating technology that tends to be most popular. Coloured brush heads You might want to consider using a mouthwash at certain times of the day also for extra cleansing. The Fresh Breath Company’s range of oral rinses are a potential option.The early Oral B cross action electric charging toothbrushes had a short stem brush head with a snap tool. None of the above in this article fit and these are now hard to find if at all. Disappointed in P&G and Oral B for not supporting earlier generation electric brushes of my type. Reply The green bristles are the same height as the inner white bristles and the dark blue sit slightly taller. All of these bristles are angled at 16 degrees. The Whitening Mode lasts for 2 minutes 20 seconds — the first 2 minutes are for your normal clean, and the last 20 seconds can be used to focus on any particularly stained areas. Are you able to share a photo of the toothbrush you have or the brush heads you have been using for me to try and help? Essentially they do the same job as regular indicator bristles, but they have been reworked to be a little more obvious in daily use.

Whilst over the years I have conducted a number of tests and made observations on how well each cleaned, I have not chosen to conduct any tests that really analyse in detail as you suggest. You will find that the brush heads will normally last 3 months and whilst the intensity of the bristle colour may have changed the bristle formation should still be virtually the same as it was when new at the end of the 3 month period. White is best used if you are trying to remove stains from the teeth and get more of a polished shine. Some might find it a little too harsh, the bristles are fairly stiff, particularly if you compare it to the sensitive head. Inside the outer edge are what Oral-B calls the ‘polishing petals’. They are not nylon bristles they are instead made of a rubber/silicone type material. They have a wider profile to them, with a tapered tip. They are designed to mimic the polishing cup found on professional dental tools to help give that brighter shine to the tooths surface.I still think that Oral-B makes it far too difficult for the average user to come to an informed choice of toothbrush head when, with just a few exceptions, they all claim to do everything. Life would be easier if they gave recommendations on which head(s) NOT to use in preference to another, depending on one’s circumstances. Having such a range of very similar products is just trying to be “too clever” IMHO – marketing gone out of control. An ortho brush kit often contains 2 other brush heads and a Interspace/Power Tip as explained below. The bristles are angled so that the white and lilac appear longer than the dark blue ones. This angling helps to make the overall cleaning of this brush head that bit better. At the very top of the brush head are a 3 clusters of light blue bristles. You have one cluster in the top centre with a cluster below and slightly to one side of that. I have experiment with the Dual Clean and find it to be very good. I have also tried the Cross action. The dual clean is available in the USA but not here.

The 3D white brush head can be used on a daily basis and will do a perfectly fine job, but I don’t feel it is quite as good as the likes of the CrossAction and Sensi UltraThin brush heads. Not strictly a brush head, this is a special type of attachment designed for Oral-B’s range of water flossing units, OxyJet and Aquacare. Hi Jon, Did your research reveal any differences in how effectively the various heads cleaned the “inner surface edges” of one’s teeth (as opposed to the exposed flat surfaces) – which must be the test that sorts the men out from the boys. This is where discolouration is most likely in my experience.Depending on which Oral-B electric toothbrush you have or are looking to opt for will depend on the cleaning modes available. It is an everyday brushing solution, that is round in shape, just like a regular Oral-B brush head, but it is marginally smaller to suit the smaller mouths of the younger generation. I am surprised that you say the Sensi UltraThin are too soft. Many people like them and soft bristles are the most recommended and popular. Whilst it is of course up to you, I think most people will benefit most from CrossAction or Sensi UltraThin for a great overall clean. Whilst a regular rinse and air drying of the brush head should be enough to prevent excessive bacteria buildup, this is another approach to help prevent bacteria developing on the brush head.
