Many are designed for multiple heads of different colors.

Not really OP is underestimating you are overestimating.

The $24 Philips Sonicare Essence is a great toothbrush (4/5 stars with 8,137 reviews) but it is an older version so its very bulky.

The $50 Oral-B Black Pro 1000 is the newer style that is slim works great (4.5 stars with 4,322 reviews) and can accept any style of Oral B head including the plaque bristle ones.

The expensive ones just add built in timers, More LEDs, a sexier stand and some are bluetooth capable and sync with your phone (which i guess is nice if you got kids and want to verify they are brushing)

I bought this one for $40. They have much more expensive versions, but this works well.

I purchased the Phillips Sonicare Essence last December for ~$30 and it works great!

I've had issues with plaque build-up but last check up my dentist said that I was doing great! The toothbrush is really fantastic--the timer, carrying case and wireless charger--really make it worthwhile especially at that price.

I was coming here to say this. I brush my teeth, but never long enough. The electric toothbrush has a timer, so I know when to even move to a different part of my mouth. It's made a huge difference.

I have a pretty basic Sonicare. I like it being rechargeable because most of my electric toothbrushes that aren't, become manual toothbrushes pretty quickly.

And if you buy that one, remember to click the "10.00 coupon."

Looks to be this one: https://www.target.com/p/philips-sonicare-protective-clean-4100-plaque-control-rechargeable-electric-toothbrush/-/A-53328714?preselect=52560501#lnk=sametab

It looks like it's MSRP is $70 on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Philips-Sonicare-ProtectiveClean-Rechargeable-HX6817/dp/B078GVDB19

Oral B round brush heads require you to focus individually on each tooth. Sonicare has longer brush heads that cover more teeth. I prefer sonicare, but for patients who have a hard time with oral hygiene I instruct them to purchase an oral b and watch themselves in the mirror focusing on each tooth. Currently using the Sonicare diamondclean (https://www.amazon.com/Philips-Sonicare-DiamondClean-Rechargeable-toothbrush/dp/B07C35B8L5/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?keywords=sonicare+diamondclean&qid=1563378221&s=gateway&sr=8-6) but in office we sell https://www.amazon.com/Philips-Sonicare-Flexcare-Rechargeable-Toothbrush/dp/B01N0T4CTR/ref=mp_s_a_1_9?keywords=sonicare&qid=1563378286&s=gateway&sr=8-9.

The oral b I recommend is https://www.amazon.com/gp/slredirect/picassoRedirect.html/ref=pa_sp_phone_search_atf_aps_sr_pg1_2?ie=UTF8&adId=A08873563H10F08JAFSKT&url=%2FOral-B-SmartSeries-Rechargeable-Replacement-Connectivity%2Fdp%2FB00F9X34XS%2Fref%3Dmp_s_a_1_2_sspa%3Fkeywords%3Doral%2Bb%26qid%3D1563378329%26s%3Dgateway%26sr%3D8-2-spons%26psc%3D1&qualifier=1563378329&id=8244109854001865&widgetName=sp_phone_search_atf

The difference is not clinically significant. Evidence shows that both clean better on average than manual brushing, but they both work roughly the same.

Kind of stinks most people can't try em both, because they both feel different. FWIW, personally, the Sonicare's buzzing gives me a nails on chalkboard kind of feel while the Oral B is more of a physical rumble.. however, my fiancee prefers the opposite so YMMV. Tons of people go with either Sonicare or Oral B and in the end it doesn't matter.

[here is a quality oral b pro 1000 for $40 on amazon](https://www.amazon.com/1000-Rechargeable-Electric-Toothbrush-Braun/dp/B003UKM9CO/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1541814378&sr=8-
3&keywords=oral+b+white+pro+1000)

here is the most basic sonicare for $20 on amazon; my fiancee used to use it before I gave her mine, but it still worked fine for her.. just the heads are bulkier than the more expensive ones

Or get more expensive ones if you like things like quadrant timers, sensitive/low power settings, bluetooth capability (why?), etc.

FYI for anyone looking into these: I've had about 4 sonicares in the last 10 years. To me they're better than Oral-B or even Rotodent. Keep in mind they will all die eventually as the batteries only last so long. 4 years, maybe 5 is about the most you can expect. Some go bad in as little as 2 years, but Sonicare will send you a new handle if it's still under warranty which is usually 3 years.

That said spending over $100 on a Sonicare is just crazy. They're just a little bit nicer and all do basically the same thing. That $150 sonicare does the same thing and will die in a few years just like the $50 sonicare. I DO however recommend spending a little more for the newer slim style with the brush head that pushes on, not the old ass one from 10 years ago that screws on. It's much smaller and lighter and not nearly as much of a pain in the ass to keep clean.

Like this one:

I truly believe that if I had one of these a little earlier in life, I'd have never had any cavities whatsoever. For now it means my teeth always feel clean and I don't need to go to the dentist as often, and when I do, cleanings are pretty uneventful.

• Gloridea electric toothbrush for $18. It's like a better Philips Sonicare: lighter, smaller, more handsome, and a third of the price. It charges via USB rather than a charging base, and the battery lasts 1–2 months.
  
• Cheap folding straw hat covered with mylar for $2. A strange and wonderful mix of the traditional and futuristic: woven natural straw fibers coated with lightweight waterproof mylar. Super dorky but highly functional; I get lots of compliments. It is available on Amazon, but without the mylar coating, which loses its ability as a rain hat.
  
• Yes4All Lightweight Camping Hammock for $10 (now $15). The fancier, more expensive travel hammocks I've seen are even slightly larger. This one rolls to the size of a large burrito. Replace the include rope with a high quality lightweight climbing rope. Perfect for a nap while waiting for those 4am trains.

What worked for me was an electric toothbrush. Tried the regular and battery powered ones. No difference. Within a week of using the electric toothbrush. It was different as night and day. Results were great.

There are cheaper brands, but not sure on the results.

It's fairly standard size but there is this

Philips Sonicare Series 2 Rechargeable Toothbrush

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01GNR607A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_sH6xCbWWJM4YR

It's so good I have yet to replace it.

Here's what I learned:

1. Use an electric ultrasonic tooth brush. Trust me it is a huge difference vs manual or standard electric tooth brushes.
   
   
2. Drink enough clean water. Staying hydrated makes everything in your body function better. It also washes your teeth from whatever you eat/drink during the day.
   
   
3. No brainer: Avoid sugary drinks and candy. Also, don't overindulge on acidic fruit like lemons, oranges, grapes, etc. If you do, refer to #1. Make sure to wash some of the acids away with a sip or two of water.
   
   
4. Don't brush too often. Doing so does more harm than good. Brush twice a day and never right after eating. If you can, brush an hour or two after your breakfast and then again before going to bed.
   
   
5. Get a tongue scraper. This also helps against bad breath.
   
   
6. Floss regularly. No need to overdo it, though. Just get in there once or twice a week to keep plaque from building up too fast between your teeth.
   
   
7. Use a good mouth wash. This is more for your gums than your teeth. A good mouth wash will greatly reduce inflammation, which is a prime cause for all sorts of problems. Once a day is enough.
   
   Other than that, go to the dentist and get a professional tooth cleaning once every year or two. It's relatively cheap and the only real way to keep plaque and dental calculus in check.

Sonicares are nice. 50$. Let the toothbrush do the work for you. Don't try to hammer the crap out of your teeth/gums.

http://www.amazon.com/Philips-HX5610-30-Rechargeable-Toothbrush/dp/B007ZN5ATQ/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1382805989&sr=8-3

Also be wary of the cheaper heads you can buy for these things (or any toothbrush in general). One reason why they can be cheaper is that the bristles arent as rounded(cheaper to produce) and this can do some damage to the gums.

Yeah sure. I was posting from my phone this morning, should've added instructions of how I found it. Last night I just searched Amazon for "Type-C toothbrush".

Here are the two I've found:

I've heard speeds of up to 47mph with the link above, destroying LHB's board for fastest board in the market byfar.

This one here
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VPCPVBP
the seller says it can be charged with a C2C, but it also seems like they have no idea what that means, so I'd suggest trying it and returning for a refund if it doesn't.

"For standard configuration, it has a "USB to USB type C" charging cable. However, it can be charged shared by your C2C cable."

My mom was able to pull some strings and get this for free. ^^^^She ^^^^more ^^^^than ^^^^likely ^^^^stole ^^^^it.

I had severe halitosis for years. It was really, really bad.

After years of trying various products and techniques, and figuring out that many toothpastes and mouthwash products can actually make things worse, this is what worked for me:

• Floss with a Reach brand flosser. This is much easier than the strings, so I actually do it.

• Brush with Therabreath brand toothpaste (this took me years to figure out) and an electric toothbrush. Drawback: The electric toothbrush replacement heads are expensive, but they don't need to be replaced too often so ...

  Following that regime twice a day has completely solved my problem.

Here's what I have, it's only $20 on Amazon right now. I would definitely recommend checking it out!

this waterpik water flosser would improve my life by making my teeth clean and healthy! also, I see you have waterpik heads on your wish list and I think if you don't already own a sonicate toothbrush you should get one because they are CRAZY AMAZING! yay clean teeth :)

I'm going to piggyback on this comment, love Sonicare, but the Essence can get pretty gunked up in between the housing of the base and head the way it is designed. Replacement heads are more expensive than other models as well.

I would recommend the Easy Clean version which is slightly more for the initial investment, but replacement heads are more affordable and it stays much cleaner. You can also use the DiamondClean replacements on the Easy Clean as well, which are the heads that I prefer.

Just my two cents!

Get a wirelessly chargable electric toothbrush. Remove the circuit boards and install them into your project. Charge with the toothbrush charger. Done!

(example)

For "therapeutic" effects - Pro-Medic VIS-IR Ultrasonic Electric Power Toothbrush

For "whitening" - Go Smile Sonic Blue

For lazy people - Triple Bristle Sonic Toothbrush

For whatever - PhotOral

Is this the one you wanted to buy? http://www.amazon.com/Philips-HX5610-30-Rechargeable-Frustration/dp/B007ZN5ATQ


It's still showing available for me on USA Amazon.

The only differences seem to be the color.


Having used sonicare brushes for years, I would stay away from the models you are looking at because of the brush head design. Especially if multiple people may use it, and change brush heads, that model needs to be unscrewed and gets all gunked up with moisture.

Also, the replacement screw on heads seem to be more expensive on Amazon.

If you can swing it, look in to a model with the smaller, pull off type brush head.

Well it bleaches the surface stains and you just follow the directions. its redo as you need it since it only helps if your teeth are stained. You should get an electric tooth brush if you dont have one. Believe me, it really does make a world of difference.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QZ67ODE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

That Sonicare uses e-series brush heads, which aren't as common anymore and are quite pricey, (anywhere from £8-£16 for a 2 pack of heads). I would advise going for the EasyClean, which is part of Philips newer range of brushes and uses a newer range of heads which are cheaper as they are more widely available (you can get a 12 pack of heads for £10.99). There are also four different types of brush heads you can get: ProResults, Sensitive, InterCare, DiamondClean.

Wow, this is an awesome contest! This is very generous of you. :)

If I win, I'd really love this toothbrush. I've been dying for a great toothbrush that I only have to replace heads on. I like taking care of my teeth. <3

I am willing to bet that the slightly faster speed makes very little practical difference in the real world. Focus on good technique, frequency, and duration, angling the brush into the gumline. Getting a brush that guides you through a full two minutes of brushing may help with changing your habits, so a fancier model with a timer might be advisable. Here is a good choice, I think it is the same that I have, or have had. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002HWS9GG/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1418874814&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SY200_QL40&dpPl=1&dpID=51pLORQVN8L&ref=plSrch

Also floss.

I'm not a dentist, but an electric toothbrush changed my life. I have this. It's very affordable and the replacement heads are very affordable. I definitely like the sonic brushes more than the oscillating heads, but I know some dentists recommend the round, oscillating heads. Either way, you won't regret getting one. And try the dentec floss picks!

This is the one I have.

Sorry I am not sure I can be overly helpful.
I am not sure what the difference is, but I am not a big fan of them. I have one of these and love the way my teeth feel after brushing, but I find the twist on part of the head and the overall design to be a bacterial breeding ground. I have found it very difficult to keep clean. I find this model to be a lot easier to keep from getting grimy: https://www.amazon.com/Philips-Sonicare-Rechargeable-Toothbrush-HX6211/dp/B00KZHP1GG/ref=sr_1_4_s_it?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1479622748&sr=1-4&keywords=sonicare&th=1

There are better methods!

• 3 sided manual toothbrush
  
• 3 sided powered toothbrush (Sonicare-compatible available)
  
• Not enough time for those? How about 10 seconds?
  
• Still too long? Can you spare 3 seconds?

It really depends on how strong of a vibrator you need. This works for us, and it's a little bit stronger than you'd expect.

If you need something with a big kick, you'll probably have to do a lot of searching though. Going to a toy store would be the best bet.

Here's something that might make you laugh...The only other thing that has worked for us during sex is This. We wrap a piece of tape around it, and the thing is stupidly powerful. The neck is small, and the body of it can rest on your stomach. The only down side is that it has a timer and cuts out every 30 seconds, then stops at 2 minutes. It really is annoyingly strong, and useless for its intended purpose.

Honestly just get the base model, here

Any Sonicare that is rechargeable (they had ones that ran on AA batteries for awhile, they're shit).

Other than that, even the cheap E series has all the features you need. It's what I and everyone in my family uses, no cavities all around.

Buy replacement heads on coupon sales at Costco in the giant muktipacks.

Do not use generic replacement heads.

They are garbage and do not work.

Sonicare isn't expensive, especially if you factor in all the dental work you won't be paying for.

Walmart will sometimes have E series Sonicares for as low as $20 if money is really tight.

There are nicer ones, but this one is pretty good for the money.

1. A homophone for "whine". Young children can be very whiny. I teach young children and would love to have this turtle puppet for the kids in my class. Puppets are very helpful, particularly when kids are in a "whiny" mood.
   
   
2. Brooms have bristles. So do toothbrushes. I could use a new toothbrush. I mean, do ya'll want to sit in Potions class next to the girl with stinky breath?! Didn't think so.
   
   
3. This rabbit in a hat puppet is not only super cute but a good introduction to transmogrification (I think that's the right word, but classes haven't started yet so how should I know?!)

Did I mention this particular screwdriver has a super secret uv pen and uv light so I can write super secret messages to my super secret companions?! If that's not magic, I don't know what is!

I actually have the $40 model. It's awesome, but I'm not sure what the $150 dollar one does.

    I have a few resources that have specific guides, I will post them later. I hope this is somewhat helpful and if you have any questions, let me know.

My wife and I both bought mid-level Sonicares 1.5 years ago (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CUG26Z4). Both of them broke after a year or so (the part that attaches to the heads eventually malfunctioned in different ways on both)...

We gave up and switched to a cheapo oral-b for around $40 or so, and its been great so far.

Yeah, they worked great for me. You just have to make sure you are consistant with them. Also, I wouldn't use more than a kit or two because they will end up removing the enamel from your teeth. As for electric toothbrushes, I got this one http://www.amazon.com/Oral-B-Professional-SmartSeries-Rechargeable-Toothbrush/dp/B002HWS9GG/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1310176547&sr=8-5 when amazon had a rebate which gave you 50 percent off the toothbrush. I think it may still be running if you're interested.

In general, is sonicare in your opinion equals other electric toothbrushes? For example, how is this one:

Best advice I can offer other than oil pulling is to get an Electric toothbrush. THIS is what I have, and its amazing. Since buying it about 2 years ago I never have any dental problems and my dentist says my teeth are looking great. I was very hesitant to get one of these for a while but its one of the best decisions I've made.
