Reader Reviews
I had been happily using Sonicare for about seven years. I read positive reviews about Oral B and decided to try it. A key reason I decided to try the Oral B is that I had to unscrew the brush head of the Sonicare once a week and clean the gunk out of it. I hated doing this and often needed a cotton swab to clean the gunk out of the inside of the brush head. In contrast, the Oral B is much easier to clean. After each brushing I just pull the bush head off and rinse it off and wipe everything off with a towel. It takes less than a minute and the toothbrush is always clean. The Sonicare takes much longer to clean and the process is less pleasant. But how does the Oral B clean? The smaller brush head of the Oral B makes it easier to clean my back teeth and they are cleaner than they were with the Sonicare. For my front teeth the two products are comparable. If you want to take the charger with you when you travel the Sonicare charger is smaller than the Oral B charger. But for trips of a week or two taking the charger just isn't necessary. They both have 2 minute timers that prompt you to switch to different quadrant of your mouth every 30 seconds. The Sonicare shuts off after 2 minutes but the Oral B signals that 2 minutes are up but keeps going in case you want to go for extra credit by brushing more than 2 minutes. I just shut it off after 2 minutes. I prefer the Sonicare approach on the timer but it's not a big issue for me. After 2 minutes, the Oral B leaves my teeth -- front and back -- squeaky clean and the brush and handle are easy to keep clean, which is nice considering that this is a tool that you put in your mouth. There is also a device to attach to clean your tongue which seems to work well. I'm glad I switched from Sonicare and wouldn't go back. The Oral B leaves my mouth cleaner and is easier to maintain.
