Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / April 2008Costco's 2 electric toothbrushes: Sonicare vs Oral-B; best?
Costco, where I buy food plus most anything else, is currently selling these two "electric" toothbrushes: "sonicare deluxe elite" e9650 $125 at costco Brush-head looks like normal toothbrush, with (presumably) normal 1-dim back-and-forth VERY-FAST motion. Oral-B "8875 DLX" $90 brush-head is circular; is rotary, with "3d" motion, ie rotary + in-out along rotation-axis. What opinions? Which is best? Or, are there *other* brands and models that far surpass these two? THANKS! David Both are fine products. Buy the one which you think you will use more. Studies show consistently that the brush that remains in you r mouth the longest, works the best.

The sonicare makes me want to use it longer and more gently. It is, subjectively, a better tool. Another popular powered TB is the Rotadent. Neither Costco nor any other store sell it, but many dental offices do. My experience has been that it, IMO, requires a Ph.D. in dental home care to use effectively. Hardly what we want for the majority of people who will/can not brush - or floss- correctly and effectively. Sonicare elite 9500 all the way. A good investment for any, but particularly perio and ortho, patients. Again, just my 'subjective', and two copper lincoln's experience. >I use a sonicare elite after having tested both sonicare elite and >oral-B offerings.

Am going to costco tomorrow, and will get the Sonicare Elite! THANKS! David The Cochrane group review showed that sonic toothbrushes were not better than manual at removing plaque. Oscillating brushes were about 10% better. This was an independent review of all the available research at that time. Based on that I would go for the Oral-B (and indeed I own one).
