I am intrigued by anything new and shiney, so this caught my eye in the Meijer store the other day.

How is its ULTRASOUND technology different from Sonic-Care's ULTRASONIC technology?

Do I need one? I use a Braun electric now and get good check ups, but who doesn't want something FUN in the morning?!!! :)

Anyone else? I have a Oral-B electrical toothbrush, but I'm intrigued by the "sonic" or "ultrasonic" ones. Has anyone any experience (or, rather improbably, evidence)?

 

 

ah, there seems to be some discussion here:

I decided "ultrasonic" toothbrushes are possibly complete nonsense or only partly effective. quite a few IMHO faked reviews on amazon, and this (german) review

 

I'll get a used oral-b pulsonic to test a "sonic" toothbrush vs. my trusty oral-b pro 1000 with plaque-coloring tablets. will report here.

Hi
 
I have used Sonicare toothbrush for few years. Although I rate it positively I dont think it differ much from any other quality electric toothbrushes.
My dentist says that I have notably less tartar but still a lot of plague. I am an avid coffee and tea drinker and plague is inevitable.

I do think you might get more easily into the gingival pockets, which would be a big deal for persons with gingivitis. others say that the oldschool electric cleaning can better remove resistant adhesions. in the end, all serious sources say that that there should be no large differences between the two technologies.

 

 

also, reviews indicate that the sonicare might have a higher chance of dying on you just after the warranty period. pulsonic brushes are cheaper.

So, I tried the Oral B Pulsonic. Build quality is nice, battery lasts long, and cleaning action seems to be equivalent to my oral-b pro 1000, using plaque-coloring tablets.

However, I don't like the shape of the brush because it's hard and messy to clean the inner sides of the teeth.

 

In the end, I prefer my old one, and will be using it with the sensitive brush-heads to minimize damage to the gums.

 

Also, everyone should check his technique with plaque-coloring tablets. So cheap and so effective.
