Braun Electric Toothbrush

A dental hygienist's review of Oral B electric toothbrushes

Oscilating-rotating technology combined with the small size of these rechargeable electric toothbrushes allow them to reach between your teeth and near your gums.

The classic Braun toothbrush head is small and round, like the polisher used by dental hygienists...

My Braun-Oral B review:

Unique features:

• Small size and shape Size matters if you have a small mouth or a strong gag reflex
• Pressure sensor that makes the brush stop if you are pushing too hard against your teeth
• Four cleaning modes daily clean, sensitive, whitening, deep clean
• Two minute timer with a digital display so you know how long you have brushed
• Oral Irrigator one model comes with an oral irrigator

The cost of oral B electric toothbrushes?

There are thirteen....(yes 13!) rechargeable models to choose from....Too many!

To narrow it down... choose one of the five Professional-Care models starting at $69.99. They all have Oral-B's highest plaque removing power with varying features.

On a budget? Go for the least expensive rechargeable model from the Oral B vitality series and avoid the AA battery powered. You will have more power. Think of the money you'll save on batteries!

Don't forget: electric toothbrush heads should be replaced every 3-6 months. An additional cost of going electric.

My opinion:

This is a great product that works well for many. How do I know? Because of the results I see in my clients who use it.

Many of my clients have good results with Oral B electric brushes and are happy with their choice. If you have a small mouth, a strong gag reflex, or difficulty reaching certain areas with a standard size toothbrush, This is a great choice.

One small complaint: Too many choices in this product line. It's overwhelming and not necessary. I wish they would keep it simple. Because of all the different models, there are too many electric toothbrush ratings and reviews to get through.

I used one of their basic models for many years and loved it. The small round head is my favorite feature because it can reach where other toothbrushes can't. I now use a Sonicare electric toothbrush. Here's my electric toothbrush comparison.
