Sonic Pro Electric Toothbrush

I'm a dental hygienist and just received a free adult and kids auto brush from the OG autobrush company about 2 weeks ago. (I say OG because there are alot of knock offs) I reached out to the company because I have a special needs patient whos parents can't brush well because they clamp their mouth shut... I thought this might be a solution but I needed to review it myself before recommending to the patient. Here's my thoughts so far. The technology is very similar if not exactly the same as a Sonicare (which i recommend to all of my patients)... that being said it is not as strong as the sonicare but that is to be expected because the sonic pulses are going through a whole mouth piece instead of a tiny brush head like sonicare... the bigger the object the more spread out or farther the pulses travel and you lose a little power.. HOWEVER I still feel it is strong enough to do the intended job.... Just like all electric toothbrushes it requires some effort from the user. You move it side to side and in circular motions.... it does a fantastic job for the front teeth not so sure about the back but I'm also still figuring out the brush and with time I'd figure out how to effectively clean the back. This brush really forces the user to brush the gum line which is so great and will prevent gum disease. This is going to be a game changer for young kids with braces, elderly people who can't grip traditional toothbrushes or remember to brush all surfaces, and people with special needs. The kids brush plays music so to some patients with sensory issues they may not love that... not sure if it can be tuned off so double check that. I'd brush for more than 30 sec but that's just my opinion maybe 60 sec which I think is already one setting you can select. Do I recommend it? Yes especially for the demographic listed above or for someone who has tried everything but nothing has worked..... I'd also like to address the mention of the quip tooth brush....those are the biggest gimmick toothbrushes in my opinion.... they barely vibrate and don't compare to a Sonicare or the autobrush at all...i just mention this because the vibrations will be way stronger with an autobrush or sonicare. Hope this helps!

Would not recommend. Bought one before and the bristles broke and made me swallow the broken piece.

I hated the autobrush because you have to shove a huge chunk of hard plastic in your mouth and the bristles are really hard. I found it really unpleasant to use.

Thank you but for me personally that would defeat the purpose of using the autobrush. Since I struggle with multiple steps and with the sensation of water. If you ever come out with a lower-profile double-sided brush head I would be happy to try the autobrush again.

Honestly, my autobrush has been a game changer. Have to be sure you get the real deal though

Oh I will have to look into it! We did go with the auto brush because he just really wanted it, and it’s been going great. He likes it. I was worried it could cause a gag reaction or something because it seems like the device really fills up the whole mouth, but mostly he is experiencing a sense of relief at not having to brush for the whole two minutes. That alone has been just so helpful to him. He just let me check out his teeth and they do have way less of a visible plaque buildup (previously he’d often have a lot). I think that this kind of tool only works if you buy the right size for the person‘s mouth and if the person is comfortable with their whole mouth being filled up by a device, and if the person feels like they’re able to maneuver the device correctly to actually get the cleaning done properly on their gum line, etc. So it is not a one size fit all solution. But it’s definitely worth looking into if a person is trying to troubleshoot brushing their teeth, that’s my final impression of it

You could try the Autobrush! I just bought one and love it. Only downside is it doesn't get my back molars super well, but it's possible I'm still learning how to use it.
