Electric toothbrushes are designed for high-quality cleaning of the oral cavity, removing tartar and plaque. Today there is a wide range of devices from different brands, so it is difficult to choose a good brush. Devices from the Oral-B brand are widespread among buyers.
Electric brushes are standard, sonic and ultrasonic, they work autonomously, from a cord, batteries, and have one or more operating modes and attachments. In the article I will talk in detail about the best models of Oral B brushes, the design and operating principle of the device, what you need to focus on when choosing a device for oral hygiene.
Features of selected models
Electric toothbrushes are divided into three types:
- Classic electric toothbrush. It has a round rotating head with bristles at the end, which makes movements both left and right and up and down. Such tools have replaceable attachments.
- The sonic brush has a built-in generator that converts the electrical signal into sound waves. Teeth cleaning occurs both under mechanical influence and under the influence of sound vibrations, which weaken the attachment of microbes.
- Ultrasonic electric brush. This instrument transforms electricity into ultrasound. The device effectively removes pigment plaque from the tooth surface.
Toothbrushes can be battery or battery operated.
The tool is quite easy to use: you just need to bring it to the tooth without touching the soft tissue.
Sound type
Outwardly, they are practically no different from mechanical models, but they work on a different principle. They have a built-in high-frequency generator that produces oscillatory sound waves that cause the bristles located on the brush head to vibrate.
The main advantages of sonic electric brushes, according to user reviews:
- such devices are more effective than mechanical ones, since cleaning is carried out both by mechanical removal of plaque and through the effects of sound vibrations, which significantly weaken the attachment of food debris to the teeth;
- prevention of possible diseases of the oral cavity and teeth;
- significant time savings (a minute is enough for the procedure).
The disadvantage of such personal hygiene devices is their high cost.
Advantages and disadvantages
Electric toothbrushes differ favorably from regular ones:
- Removes much more soft plaque. This is achieved through the introduction of new 2D and 3D technologies for the movement of the rotating head. These technologies differ in the nature of the pulsation.
- Attractive for adults and children. This brush will add variety to your teeth cleaning routine.
- The time is reduced from 5 to 2 minutes.
- Prevents the formation of hard stone.
The only downside may be the cost - it will be higher than that of conventional brushes.
Mechanical type
The effect of such brushes on teeth is practically no different from that of conventional models. The main difference is the presence of a special nozzle with a rotating head that can move in a circle, up and down and perform pulsating movements. Depending on the model, they can make from 5 to 35 thousand movements per minute, providing simple and very effective cleaning of teeth from plaque.
Among the advantages of such brushes, according to user reviews, are:
- low cost (this is a budget option);
- efficient completion of daily tasks;
- ease of use;
- saving time on hygiene procedures.
The main disadvantage is the lack of functionality. Such brushes are definitely better and more effective than regular ones, but are significantly inferior to other types that provide better cleaning of the mouth and teeth.
What to look for when choosing
Dentists recommend following these recommendations when purchasing an electric toothbrush:
- The head should be round or cup-shaped.
- It would be good if the tool is equipped with a timer that will help you control the time.
- The pressure sensor will not allow you to put too much pressure on your teeth and soft tissues.
- It would be good if the head was removable. Since the toothbrush needs to be changed every three months, this will save you from unnecessary costs.
Toothbrushes are contraindicated for people who have recently undergone surgery, suffer from stomatitis and have grade 3 tooth mobility.
Ultrasonic
To date, this is the most advanced type of all electric brushes. There is a motor in the handle, and under the bristles of the head there is a piezoelectric plate that emits an oscillatory ultrasonic wave during operation of the device, causing the bristles on the head of the brush to vibrate (about one hundred million movements per minute). A frequency of 1.7 MHz allows the ultrasonic wave to penetrate the most inaccessible places and effectively eliminate pigment and microbial plaque.
Users cited the following advantages of this type of device:
- high cleaning efficiency compared to other types of electric brushes;
- high-quality and reliable prevention of many dental diseases;
- ease of use.
Flaws:
- high price;
- the presence of certain restrictions.
Before purchasing such a device, it is recommended to consult with a doctor, who will also tell you about additional attachments that you need.
Oral-B Professional Care 500
Oral – B Professional Care 500 dental brush satisfies absolutely all individual user requirements. This means that everyone will be able to choose exactly the attachment that will ideally suit their teeth.
Provides truly high quality standards, and all thanks to the impeccable shape of the head , which fully corresponds to the design of the instruments of a professional dentist. The technology used here makes it possible to clean each side of any of the teeth much better than a conventional toothbrush.
The bristles have a special technology that tells the user when to change the brush head (half-discolored bristles signal that it’s time to change the brush head).
It was created taking into account all the innovative technologies in this area, and is recommended for those people who want to have truly healthy teeth.
The battery of this brush operates in a single mode , which is suitable for daily dental care. The round shape of the head of the product ensures ideal cleaning of every tooth from literally all sides. The effect of pulsating movements leads to the destruction of harmful plaque. Special rotational-return actions of the head, in addition to brushing the teeth, also massage the gums and help strengthen them.
Braun attachments are ideally combined with all brushes of the same brand. This is necessary directly so that any person can find the best option for themselves.
Sensitive brush heads are incredibly soft and designed to gently clean sensitive teeth and gums. Precision Clean brush heads are distinguished by their ability to remove more plaque than a traditional toothbrush. In terms of functionality, Floss Action can be compared to the effect of using dental floss. This attachment is designed to perfectly clean the spaces between teeth.

Judging by the description, this electric brush from Oral-B deserves due attention from the buyer. This brush will bring benefits during the period of its use and will become a real assistant in the field of dental care. Now I’m thinking about purchasing this toothbrush myself, since I liked it and it has plenty of advantages.

I had no idea how much better an electric toothbrush is than a regular toothbrush. I purchased the Vitality Sensitive Clean model a few months ago on the recommendation of a dentist. I chose this model because I have sensitive teeth. The brush is excellent, it cleans teeth perfectly and does not damage the enamel, it is simple and convenient to use. The price, of course, is quite high, but you can pay for such quality.

Previously, I didn’t attach any importance to which brush was best to use, I bought the one that I liked based on the design. We were visiting my sister, their whole family uses Oral Bee Vitality brushes, and she recommended it to me. I bought a 3D WHITE LUXE series brush at the pharmacy, I was pleasantly surprised when I used it, it cleans teeth carefully and effectively, copes well with plaque and at the same time promotes teeth whitening very well, the description says that the effect lasts for 21 days, I noticed it already after 3 -4 day. Does not injure either enamel or gums. Recharging lasts me 5-7 days. The quality is excellent, the price is affordable, more than worth the money.

I’ve never used electric toothbrushes before, but I once received one from Oral Bee as a gift. What can I say, you need to get used to it. At first, it feels like you are at a dentist's appointment, but over time you get used to it. Regarding brushing your teeth, I can honestly say that it cleans, of course, better than a regular brush, and given the abundance of attachments for it, you can easily choose a brush that is right for you.

How to choose an electric toothbrush
Choosing a brush is a crucial moment, since the effect and level of cleaning of the oral cavity depends on it. The selection of an electric device for brushing teeth should be based on a number of criteria:
Modes | They can be of several types: daily cleaning, massage, whitening, regime for sensitive teeth. |
Head shape | It is desirable that it be round, which reduces the risk of injury to the mouth. It is recommended to choose a brush with a rough outside to clean your tongue. |
Size | The brush head for an adult varies between 18-35 mm, for a child - up to 22 mm. |
Rigidity | Soft bristles are suitable for people with sensitive teeth, medium bristles are suitable for others. |
Bristle material | Synthetic bristles are most often used. Natural bristles are used on brushes intended for people with allergies. |
Nozzles | It is recommended to choose a device with a removable head. If it becomes worn out or damaged, it is enough to buy a new nozzle, not a brush. |

Not a brush, but a crown of engineering
After activating the selected cleaning mode, the brush begins to vibrate gently in your hand, and the head of the nozzle with bristles begins to rotate. Unlike previous generations of electric toothbrushes, Oral-B iO Series 9 vibrates finely, not pulsates . As a result, the nozzle irritates the gums less, and brushing your teeth becomes the most enjoyable procedure.
After just a few sessions you feel the effect of professional regular teeth cleaning every day.
Oral-B iO Series 9 was the first electric brush that I personally was able to use: all the others tickled my gums terribly and I personally could not endure this torture for two minutes. I recommend that if you have a delicate oral cavity, choose super sensitive cleaning , and you will be surprised at the absence of any discomfort.
The pressure sensor monitors while brushing so that you do not press the brush head too hard against your teeth. If you press on your teeth, the light ring on the body will light up as a warning red. When the pressure is correct, the ring lights up green.
Oral-B iO Series 9 has a smart motion control system that recognizes 3 types of tooth surfaces for more accurate recommendations in real time. That is, you brush your teeth every day and the brush remembers how you do it , so that after a while it can give you recommendations on how to do it correctly.
But to get these recommendations, the Oral-B iO Series 9 needs to be connected to the app. And that's a different story.
