FAQs

What is the downside of a sonic toothbrush? ›

However sonic brushes do have one major drawback; they tend to be quite expensive compared to both manual and electric versions making them cost-prohibitive for some users with tighter budgets who still want a quality brush for cleaning their teeth thoroughly each day!

All other things being equal, studies have shown that sonic and ultrasonic toothbrushes are more effective at removing plaque and bacteria from the teeth than a regular manual toothbrush.

Overall, sonic toothbrushes remove plaques in the hard areas, improves gum health, and reduces gingival diseases better than other electric brushes.

The fundamental difference between these two types of brushes is that sonic toothbrushes rely on a physical motion to clean the teeth, whereas ultrasonic brushes do not. Ultrasonic toothbrushes clean using hydrodynamic forces. Some use a combination of ultrasonic and sonic technology to remove plaque.

However, Sonicare toothbrushes use sonic technology, which vibrates at high frequencies to remove plaque. Many dentists vouch for Sonicare's effectiveness, but Oral-B's rotating-oscillating technology has its legion of fans too. It often comes down to personal preference.

Do I need to floss if I use an electric toothbrush? Yes, you still need to floss even if you use an electric toothbrush. But a sonic toothbrush does clean all the deep surfaces that are hard to reach, which makes it better for oral care than a manual toothbrush.

As stated above, you should replace your electric toothbrush every three to five years, depending on your use.

The award-winning Oral-B iO Series Electric Toothbrush is clinically proven to remove more plaque vs. Phillips Sonicare DiamondClean Smart toothbrush. Oral-B is the first electric toothbrush brand to be accepted by the American Dental Association for effectiveness and safety.

Apply a small amount of toothpaste (size of a pea). Too much toothpaste will create too much foam that will run down the handle. 3. Place the bristles against your teeth at a 45° angle, towards the gum line, and close your mouth around the brush head (to prevent spattering while brushing).

After more than 120 total hours of researching the category, interviewing dental experts, considering nearly every model available, and testing 66 toothbrushes ourselves in hundreds of trials at the bathroom sink, we've found that the Oral-B Pro 1000 is the one to get.

Which is better, an oscillating or a sonic toothbrush? ›

Oscillating toothbrushes have softer bristles compared to sonic toothbrushes, further reducing the risk of irritation or damage. The gentle cleaning action of oscillating brushes removes plaque and debris while minimizing the risk of abrasion or trauma to the teeth and gums.

Consider handle style (It should feel comfortable in your hand.), head shape and style of bristles. A toothbrush with a small head makes it easier to reach every spot in the mouth. And soft bristles will clean your teeth without damaging your gums or enamel.

This means that they move the brush head at such a rapid rate, that they are able to able to turbulently move particles of water and air in a gentle and effective enough way to easily clean between teeth and below the gum line.

Slower sonics with less tip-speed (amplitude), electric, and mechanical toothbrushes are reported to remove all or most tartar above the gumline between scheduled hygiene appointments.

These have improved upon virtually every single aspect of the traditional toothbrush. Most brands and models of today's sonic toothbrush can give users up 40,000 brush strokes per minute, providing a surface cleaning that is virtually unattainable by standard brushing alone.

Electric rotating-oscillating toothbrushes come with lower power than sonic toothbrushes, but due to the rotating head you can find them quite powerful in removing the plaque off your teeth. Sonic toothbrushes, on the other hand, are considered much more effective thanks to the high level of vibrations they provide.

It also discovered that sonic electric toothbrushes remove three times more plaque than a manual toothbrush. They are also better at reducing gingivitis and sulcular bleeding.

The Cons of Electric Toothbrushes

Higher Cost- Battery-powered toothbrushes are more expensive than their traditional counterparts. They also require replacement heads, which can be quite pricey. Higher Risk of Damage- Because of their electronics, they are at a higher risk of damage if dropped or falling in the water.
