I’m incredibly pissed about it, and am going to be talking to my local oral b representative about it. The bristles vibrate when I turn it on but the head won’t do the rotating unless I take it off and back on a few times. This week it started to not work correctly. However, I don’t believe my teeth feel any cleaner than with my regular electric oral b. The io series also oscillates and the bristles vibrate, so it’s like having a sonicare and oral b in one brush. It’s not necessary, older models have a sensor to tell you if you’re brushing too hard and that is really all you need if you’re an aggressive brusher or have recession. They tell you if you’re brushing too hard but also if you’re not brushing hard enough. The regular oral b brushes (so not the io series) seem to be more affordable than sonicare from what I can find. The small round head and oscillating motion seems to keep my patients teeth (and mine!) the cleanest between dental visits. I do NOT think it’s at all necessary to buy even a $100 brush, but the $40 range seems to have decent electric brushes. I’m going to go ahead and tell you that I recommend oral b electric brushes to all of my patients. I have the oral b io series 7 and am also a hygienist so let me give you my opinion on some brushes! TLDR: /u/_sofetch and /u/Ruby_Skye had great comments with lots of insight already. Electric toothbrushing does a lot of the work for you, but it's also pretty technique heavy! It's all about where you're brushing and making sure to not put too much pressure onto your tissues. The only thing I've really noticed as a difference between the two is that the iOS 9 is a lot quieter. My boyfriend has the Oral-B genius series and I have the iOS 9. If anyone has a costco membership, /u/Ruby_Skye had a great idea about sharing a two pack! Oral-B genius two pack is $150 and Oral-B smart clean 360 is $100 for two brushes. Huge echo on prevention costing less than a crown, a filling, or even deep cleanings, which are billed by mouth quadrants. An electric toothbrush moves way faster than our own hands could ever spin, rotate, and pulse the debris off our teeth by our gum lines. It's about the motions and even the speed of the motion. They also have a built in timer to ensure you’re brushing the correct amount of time and a pressure sensor so you know you’re not applying too much pressure (brushing too hard can damage tooth structure). Almost all of my patients who’ve invested in an electric toothbrush tell me they’re never going back to manual brushes because their mouth feels so much cleaner now and based on what I see during their visits, their mouths ARE cleaner. All you have to worry about is angling the bristles correctly. You hold it in place and the brush heads movement cleans your teeth. I’d also keep a look out for sales because electric toothbrushes go on sale frequently at Target, Walmart, Costco, etc.Īs far as what an electric toothbrush can do that your hands can’t.electric brushes do the work for you. Oral B and Sonicare are definitely the most well-known brands and the ones I have the most experience with. I had a $60 Sonicare brush before I got my current Oral B and it worked fine, I just didn’t like the shape of the brush head because I have a smaller mouth. I’d go more so based off ADA approved products rather than price threshold.
