Some of the most popular electric toothbrush brands you’ll find on the market include:
- Oral-B
- Philips Sonicare
- Quip
- Burst
These product lines are reputable, widely used, and widely agreed to be well-made, robust, and highly effective products. Really, any one of these brands and any other electric toothbrush brand could do, as could a manual brush in most (though not all) cases. However, no matter what kind of electric toothbrush you choose, you should look for these essential qualities:
- Interchangeable brush heads, ideally with the specifications described above.
- Timer and pressure sensor to reinforce optimal brushing performance
- Refund policy, so won’t unnecessarily waste money if the model dissatisfies you
- An advertised back-and-forth oscillating motion
Back and forth motor oscillation plays a crucial part in accomplishing those tens of thousands of brush movements per minute. And, even if you can’t afford a brush with app capability, built-in timers and pressure sensors are really all you need to assess electric brushing performance and overall safety.
No matter which brush you choose, we hope you brush carefully, mindfully, responsibly, and diligently, for at least two minutes two times a day! Whether or wear braces or not, brushing your teeth is the essential, most basic backbone behind a good oral hygiene regimen and beautiful pearly smile.
