I just switched back to Oral B after trying a Philips for about 2 years because the Philips had a recurring problem which centred around a screw inside the casing coming loose and causing the brush to just...not work. All in all, I took the thing apart and fixed multiple issues with it before thinking one day "You know what? I never had to even consider opening up the Oral-B in the many years that I had it." And now I'm so happy I switched back. Completely agree with John's description too regarding the BETTER clean that the Oral B motion creates.

Thanks for uploading this. In my experience I had the sonicare 5100 and after a few months the pressure sensor started to malfunction. When no pressure was applied at all the brush would only barely vibrate-no where near the original amount and certainly not enough to clean. I had to push the brush head with my finger either left or right to get it to vibrate like it did at first. So while the pressure sensor that automatically slows the vibrations down may be a good sell for the sonicare, it’s important to keep in mind that it’s also another component that can break. That’s my second Phillips brush I’ve had and I think I’ll try oral B next. $70 was a lot to pay for a brush that lasted only a few months. I foolishly didn’t register the brush and have had difficulty getting their customer service website to work. I’m a young guy too, I know how to work a computer lol. Cheers

About 11 years ago I purchased 2 Sonicare tooth brushes, one for myself and one for my son. Two years ago I lost mine and purchased a new Sonicare. The model number under the base of the newer brush reads 9208 AD-4. The metal piece to which the brushes attach to the body of the brush started showing signs of rust and corrosion and darkening about a year ago. Last month the seal between the body of the brush and the device itself became degraded and rotten. It is presently ineffective. That is of course understatement. My takeaway is that Sonicare has gone from the A++ quality of the past (my son's brush still operates in a complete and satisfactory way) and has now become adept at creating a cheaply made counterfeit engraving of the product it used to be.

I have an oral-b pro 6000 for 6 years now, it never let me down, still in pristine condition. Has bluetooh built in, it can store up to a month worth of toothbrushing data that you can sync with the app (time+duration). I can manually setup a lot of things for the brush, like duration of the brushing, disable the buzzing between sections, amount of sections for the teeth(4 / 6), manual reminder for toothbrush heads, % feedback of battery charge. Best investment ever.
@SingingCrowie 6 ай бұрын
I agree, perhaps the new Sonicare surpasses the modern Oral-B, but the older premium Oral-B really stood the test of time and still does a great job. I don't see myself changing it until it breaks and I don't see it breaking any time soon. I also like that the replacement brushes are affordable. If you paid 200 and it lasted you 10 years, and for those 10 years you saved on replacement brushes, I think it's a great investment. Another thing I love about Oral-B as a petite person is the small size of the brush, also suitable for children and good for hard-to-reach areas. One last thing is that although it is loud, personally the high-pitched sound of Sonicare is more irritating to me.

I have always been curious about Oral B because I have been using various Sonicare models such as the Protective Care 4100 and Diamond Clean. Sadly, both my Diamond Clean Sonicare brushes stopped vibrating and were replaced by the company. Then, I bought the Protective Clean 4100 and the brush stem came completely disconnected from the base so it too was replaced by Sonicare. The company is great with replacements, but I would love one to be durable.

A superior benefit of the Philips Sonicare are the brushes which are soft on the back, and not hard like the OralB (i9). Since I use Philips 9900 with the C3 brushes, I do not have any more bumps in my mouth. The bumps were caused by the hard brush head of the Oral B bumping against my gums.

Hey John. Thanks for your videos I am really happy that there is a dedicated channel for oral care with updates every now and then. A key point you always forget to mention is the allowed voltage for these appliances. For example these two are marketed as home n travel toothbrushes but as I understand oral B on their websites clearly mentioned that their only travel toothbrushes are the genius line. So I wonder what is the required voltage for Oral b io Thanks
@ElectricTeeth 3 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the comment. Most brushes you can travel with. By the sounds of it though, you are travelling for longer periods whereby you need to have a charging solution when overseas. The Genius X and iO allow this with their travel charging cases and the iO charging stand does too support 100-240V. Of course you still have the issue of the plug itself being compatible with the country of travel. As far as I am aware you could (if appropriate) just buy a charging stand specific for that country. So, if travelling from the US to the UK, you buy a UK charging stand for the toothbrush, but use the US brush on the UK stand and it should work fine. If you need more info, please do let me know.

@ElectricTeeth 3 жыл бұрын
Hi Anne. I nor anyone on the team suffers with dexterity issues and where possible we would try to highlight brushes that are more difficult to use. Everyone is different though so some of the comments are more generalisations. Most toothbrushes are fairly comfortable to use, although some of the Oral-B ones are potentially better because they often have larger rubber grips on the handles, be that the front or rear. As for flossing, there are floss picks or interdental brushes with longer handles which can make things easier. TePe are a brand worth looking at.

Hi there, I was wondering what are your thoughts on battery operated toothbrushes? I'm currently using Philips Sonicare (rechargeable) but will be going travelling long-term next month and it's quite heavy and bulky to carry so I'm considering getting Philips One, battery operated brush. My main issue is that my teeth are very close together and can't always reach in between the gaps and end up with cavities. I was wondering if battery powered is better than manual?
@ElectricTeeth Жыл бұрын
Whilst they have some benefit, they are not much better than a manual brush in our experience. They feel weak compared to a regular electric toothbrush. Don't get us wrong, there is a place for them, but a battery powered brush isn't going to clean significantly more effectively. Getting between the teeth really is going to be solved only by flossing/interdental cleaning.

Just how do you judge this "better clean"? Objectively, or subjectively? The vast majority of actual scientifically performed tests pick the action of the Oral-B. Next time you're at the dentist's office, just look at the head of the brush they use to clean and apply the fluoride treatment. The whole purpose of a tooth brush is to clean the teeth but more importantly to clean BETWEEN the teeth! It's quite obvious the smaller the brush head, the more capable it is in getting its bristles in between the teeth. To carry this to its logical conclusion, to really get in between the teeth, one uses dental floss. Yes, the Sonicare products may sound nicer or quieter, or look sleeker, or hold a charge slightly longer, BUT, the Oral-B products clean your teeth better. PERIOD!🧐

I don't know where to ask this, so here it goes: I'm using a Sonicare 4300 for 2 weeks and it feels...too strong. Today I bought a very cheap sonic toothbrush from Lidl (Nevadent) and it is...pretty good for the price but the vibration is half as strong compared with the Sonicare. Also I heard that teeth abrasion is a thing with Sonicare...so maybe it is a good thing to use a weaker vibrating brush? But can it be good enough for healthy teeth? Or is it better to switch to oral-b than use an inferior sonicare substitute?
@ElectricTeeth 3 жыл бұрын
Good question. Is is perhaps a case you are still getting used to the power of the Sonicare? The lesser powered Nevadent can still clean the teeth well potentially, if you follow other basic oral hygiene practices, such as brushing for the right amount of time and with the correct technique. I think you will find sourcing replacement brush heads will be much easier with Sonicare. There is little evidence that I am aware of that suggests Sonicare abrades the teeth. This is often (not always) as a result of brushing with too much force. You need to find what you are happy with. Even the Nevadent will provide a more consistent cleaning action as it should still do a good job compared to a manual brush for example.

Hi Jon! Which one of the two would you recommend for a smoker? I know it's a bad habit but trying to minimize the damage 😁
@ElectricTeeth 2 жыл бұрын
Honestly, either. There is no data (that I know of) to suggest one is better specifically for smokers. Oral-B is top recommendation for products, generally speaking, because of the features and price. So in the UK/Europe: Oral-B Pro 2 2500. In the USA: Oral-B Smart 1500. Canada: Oral-B Smart 2000. To minimize the damage, try cutting back on the smoking and making sure you brush twice a day for 2 minutes, with the correct technique each time. 👍 If you need any further assistance, let me know.

Neither is necessarily better than another. Just be sure to use a sensitive (soft) brush head with either brand. You may also want to make use of a lower powered cleaning mode if it is available on your toothbrush.

Which one do you prefer for people with sensitive teeth and gums? I previously owned an electric toothbrush(sonic) but the vibration gave me a negative sensation and headache probably due to the very hard bristles. My dentist suggested I use one and I am very skeptical due to this reason. Also, which brush heads should we use from the particular brand? I would prefer a gentle cleaning or feeling on the teeth.
@ElectricTeeth Жыл бұрын
There is no one right answer here. Oral-B brushes tend to be best value for money. Both brands offer soft bristled brush heads that you should use. As a general rule both clean comparably and can serve people well. If picking an Oral-B brush go for the sensi ultrathin/pro gumcare heads. If picking sonicare opt for their A3 premium all in one head or S Sensitive or G2 Optimal Gum Care.

Soft bristles are generally enough for most people assuming they brush for the right amount of time and with the correct technique. There is likely a reason your dentist recommended electric, so it is worth a go I think. Both Oral-B and Sonicare do have money back guarantees you could potentially take advantage of if you didn't get on with the brush.

@@ElectricTeeth I see the ultrasonic are contactless and appear to do a similar job. Not sure if toothpaste is needed. Saying that I have purchased an Ordo for the price includes brushing modes.

@ElectricTeeth 11 ай бұрын
Ultrasonic do a similar job, but you pay a premium for them. Truthfully sonic ones are just fine. The Ordo brush is an excellent brush. A pressure sensor is preferable, but providing you don't brush too hard then it is fine. You only need light pressure. The bristles need to virtually skim the surface of the teeth. There are cheaper brushes than £90. A top option would be the Sonicare ProtectiveClean 4300. Currently £65 on Amazon. But, seeing as you have the Ordo, no reason no to stick with that really.

That'll obviously be and anecdotal proof but I used to use one of the highest models of Sonicare in the past (I'd say 10+ years ago, but memory may be failing me) and it broke shortly after 2 years of usage by one person only. On the other hand I've been using Oral-B Vitality which is an entry level electric toothbrush with my family of 3 for years now (~ 5) and it doesn't seem to be coming anywhere near the end of its life. Based on your reviews I've just ordered another Oral-B (Pro 3 3500) as I wanted a pressure indicator for my son who tends to press brushes too hard. I didn't want anything fancy with BT and what not, because for me they're just gadgets that would probably be used a couple of times and then no one would care about connecting phone to them.

I've been using my Oral B (model is I think 9900 or so) for 12 (twelve) years now with one battery replacement (a bit of a hassle). Still works fine and if properly cleaned it looks like on day one. I've got lots of Philips electronics at home that I'm very happy with and that haven't had any issues with breaking down, but I went for Oral B because I thought the smaller rounded head design might be better to get the wisdom teeth back deep in the mouth, and I thought the rotational movement might have a better cleaning effect than the side to side movement of the Sonicare.
@pcman3158 Жыл бұрын
Does (EU) Sonicare ProtectiveClean 4300 pressure control not only gives sound/vibration, but slows down the intensiveness too (similar to Oral-B reaction)? Or it gives only sound? Also what is the difference in Low and High intensiveness? Are those both up to 62 000 moves per min? Or movement speed is same, but some kind of amplitude is different? Any measurement units to express it?
@ElectricTeeth Жыл бұрын
When the 4300 brush detects too much force is being applied, the handle vibrates and the brushing sensation changes, there is a change in the sound too. The movement of the bristles don't slow down. They move/pulse differently as a clear alert to you that you are brushing too hard. Sonicare doesn't specify the exact difference between high and low mode intensities. So I can't give you an exact number to quantify how they differ. The low mode is less intense and slower with fewer movements as I understand it.

We do cover more information about the apps in the individual reviews of the brushes we cover. It is only the most premium brushes with real time tracking and position detection that will show you which areas of the mouth you have missed or need to pay more attention to. Availability of these brushes does vary from 1 country to another. Models to look at include Oral-B Genius X/Ai, Oral-B iO. Philips Sonicare DiamondClean Smart. The hum by Colgate is also a much more affordable option if you are within the US. Any other questions, let me know.

Hi Peter. Great questions. The power button on the iO Series is in my opinion marginally less firm, so a bit easier to press, but I wouldn't say there was significant difference. Having a think about it I can't think of one brush which has a particularly soft button. Of course it is all a bit subjective. I am not sure where you are based, but some stores have models on display so you can try the buttons and feel the brush in hand. This might be the best thing, if possible to try so you can experience before purchase.
