Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / October 2004electric-toothbrush Oral-B or Sonic
I just want wo know wich electric-toothbrush-system is better. The rotating system used by the Braun Oral-B Professional Care or the Sonic like the Philips Sonicare. I'm askin also cause for a long time Braum said, that their system with the rotating brush is better than the sonic one, but now they also have a new sonic electric-toothbrush called Sonic Care on the market. Have somone tested the new SonicCare? Is this system better or does Braun only want to get into the sonicmarket?

Sorry, the name of the new Braun sonic toothbrush is "Sonic Complete". Gruß Alexandra No scientific evidence showing any toothbrush to be superior to any other. The only evidence out there is the studies done by the people trying to sell it. Independent studies all show that all brushes are equal if used properly. OTOH, if a powered brush design encourages you to keep it in your mouth for longer periods of time and more often, then you will get better results with that particular brush.

Actually that is wrong! a little internet sluething would tell you otherwise. I bought the SonicCare about 3 months ago and did my homework before doing so. Here is my take on the issue, the Dentist was telling me that I wasnt brushing and flossing enough and that I was brushing too hard and causing gum erosion. I found that for the left side of my mouth that my ability to vibrate a toothbrush fast but lightly just wasnt up to par.....too much work! With the SonicCare you wont cause gum erosion unless that is your goal, it vibrates so fast that you just need to move the brush to cover one tooth at a time then move on to the next tooth. As far as research and studies, it is true that using SonicCare or a Braun toothbrush will not exceed using a regular toothbrush the proper way. But using a toothbrush the proper way and for the right amount of time is no easy breather also. Remember those pink pills as a kid and having to brush away the Pink Stain.....most of us are not that tedious about brushing. But using a Toothbrush like the SonicCare or Braun helps doing a better job sooo much easier! What research does provide is that a SonicCare unlike any other brush will irrigate and remove debriment down to 3millimeters beyond the reach of the bristles....... That wont replace flossing but it is superior action or a comparitive benefit compared to any other toothbrush. I did the research , did it recently, went for the SonicCare and I thought it was an excellent buy. You know how when you have your teeth cleaned and can feel those sharp ridges along the inside of your lower teeth with your tongue. The SonicCare either maintains that feel(after a cleaning) or can get you near that again,....its that good. > No scientific evidence showing any toothbrush to be superior to any other. > The only evidence out there is the studies done by the people trying to sell [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Gru? > > Alexandra How can anyone argue with research done on the Internet? Research done by the manufacturer is always suspect. >> No scientific evidence showing any toothbrush to be superior to any other. > [quoted text clipped - 70 lines] >> > Gruß >> > Alexandra >No scientific evidence showing any toothbrush to be superior to any other. >The only evidence out there is the studies done by the people trying to sell >it.

I'm just wondering cause a long time braun tries to show the superior of their rotating system against the sonic one, especial the sonicare. And now they have an own sonic brush but they (of course) don't say wich of them are now superior. It's a little bit strange if a company is putting a system for a long time so down and now they even have it. Are they trying to get Philips out of the sector with a similar, but not so good product like their normal rotating system or is this system in fact better? Or both systems are equal, who knows? Gruß Alexandra Well I replied earlier but not to the original. The Braun rotating brush was always competitive to the SonicCare. if Braun now has a sonic toothbrush, it must be brand spanking new, but I would guess they are very competitive, whether one is actually better or not. > I just want wo know wich electric-toothbrush-system is better.
