Electric toothbrushes are scientifically proven to remove more plaque than manual toothbrushes. They are easier to use as they provide the brushing action for you, and can have many extra features to optimise brushing and give you dentist clean teeth. There are numerous types of electrical toothbrush on the market so it should be easy to discover a brush that fits your oral health needs. The 2 top selling brands, Oral-B and Sonicare have a variety of electrical brushes at varying costs that have some different features. So which is better, an Oral B or Sonicare Electrical Toothbrush?

Braun Oral-B range ships from less than fifty pounds to almost a hundred seventy pounds and has electric toothbrushes with circular brush heads that rotate with an oscillating motion. The premium brushes have many modes for delicate teeth, massaging of gums and bleaching of tarnished teeth. Unique pressure mechanism tell people when they're brushing with too much power so my somehow destroy the teeth; the high range brushes have a visible pressure sensor that lights up to tell the user to reduce pressure, the lower range brushes make an audible sound.

Every brush in the range has a timer so teeth can be brushed to the optimum (dentist advised) 2-minute brushing time. A quadrant placer function will see the brush stutter every thirty sec. to urge you to move to a different area of the mouth, so achieving perfect cleaning of the whole area.

The entire range is compatible with multiple brush heads so the user can choose whichever they like. The more dear brushes in the range come with a brush head holder, lavatory storage unit and a travel case and charger.

The premium range Victory 5000 is advised by The Brit Dental Health Foundation and has received the highest award of any toothbrush on the market. Its defining feature is the wireless digital Smart Guide unit, that has a Star Reward system to prompt brushing. The very unique unit gives you a pressure alam, timer, quadrant prompt and ‘replace brush head ‘ indicator and wireless syncs with the toothbrush to give real time feedback on teeth cleaning. The Star Reward system consists of 5 stars that illuminate one at a time as teeth are brushed, giving a 5 star rating when brushed correctly in the allocated time.

The Philip’s Sonicare range ships from almost 20 GBP to nearly 250 GBP and has electrical toothbrushes with diamond formed brush heads that palpitate from side to side, not with an oscillating movement. The brushes use Philip’s patented sonic cleaning action, which claims to get rid of more plaque than any other electric toothbrush. Like the Oral-B range, the more costly brushes have numerous sensitive, massaging and whitening modes to look after teeth and gums, but the range does not include the advanced pressure sensor technology. Sonicare electric toothbrushes have timers for comprehensive mouth cleaning, and the quadrant placer, where the toothbrush will stutter to tell the user to move to a different area of the mouth. The interchangeable brush heads are not compatible with different brushes in the range so particular heads must be acquired for each type. Philips is developing a new environmentally friendly brush head but this is still in production. The costliest brush in the range, the Sonicare Diamond Clean, is considerably more expensive than its Oral-B counterpart but lasts for a magnificent 3 weeks when charged, has an especially modern slim design and features a stylish glass charger and USB travel case/charger.
