Fairly new concept of a product. Research says that u brushes are not the best at removing plaque on all the surfaces of teeth. Your best options are electrical rechargeable toothbrushes that have round oscillating heads. I can also add that in my clinical experience electrical toothbrushes are superior and the best options for consistent plaque removal. The best ones are expensive but worth the investment. They can last a full decade if you care for it properly therefore getting your money’s worth.

I personally use Oral b IO but the oral b genius X is great too. Another great brush is Phillips Sonicare with pressure sensor. https://www.bestproductsreviews.com/sonic%20toothbrush%20with%20pressure%20sensor?targetid=kwd-960361156&matchtype=e&device=m&campaignid=23519874716&creative=795668284290&adgroupid=192989034935&feeditemid=&loc_physical_ms=1027188&loc_interest_ms=&network=g&devicemodel=&placement=&keyword=$philips%20sonicare%20electric%20toothbrushes&target=&aceid=&adposition=&trackid=us_all_top_2025&mId=407-132-4411&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23519874716&gbraid=0AAAAACWZmZnCbLT498wecNTVfRLsZJliW&gclid=CjwKCAiAzZ_NBhAEEiwAMtqKywF0P1TfZugzuLCAwYg3C-ozXUpJhVONgh8GGRU6zXrCG_VlouGMCxoCsB0QAvD_BwE

Falnak tudok menni ettől, az ugyan az mert azt is kínában gyártják... NEM, nem ugyan az, lehet, hogy az eredetit is kínában gyártják, de az mögött megfelelő minőségellenőrzés van, bevizsgált alkatrészekkel, alpanyagokkal, tanúsítványokkal, és egy olyan márkanév, ami felelősséget vállal a termékéért. Egy noname cuccon nincs garancia, nincs ügyfélszolgálat, nincs utókövetés — ha tönkremegy, senki nem fogja megmondani, hogy miért, vagy hogy biztonságos volt-e egyáltalán. Az is óriási különbség, hogy a márkák olyan gyártókkal dolgoznak, akik megfelelnek bizonyos szabványoknak, előírásoknak — például CE, RoHS, TÜV, vagy egyéb minősítéseknek. Egy noname gyártónál senki nem fogja ellenőrizni, hogy xy anyagból annyit használt-e amennyit kell, vagy a 3x mennyiséget, ami meg már potenciálisan egészségkárosító. Nyilván vannak egyszerű dolgok, ahol ez halál mind1, de pont egy fogkefénél, ahol napi 2x teszed a szádba és sikálod percekig. Hihetetlen, hogy ezt felnőtt embereknek kell elmagyarázni.

Oral-b genius x, az előző széria csúcsmodellje, szerintem már 5 éve megvan, most már nagyon baráti az ára, bár jövőre egy io 10-re lecserélném, ha lentebb megy az ára

Nah I had one of the expensive ones, geniusx or something have the exact same problem. But it broke right before warranty ended, so I got it replaced for free. That one broke right after warranty ended for the same problem.

husband and I have been sharing the same oral-b "genius" or whatever it's called for almost 9 years now (we have our own heads). Both of us have seen immense improvements at the dentist. idk about misuse but my oral-b has 4 different settings the dentist above mentioned (as a patch) if it's too harsh for sensitive gums. It pulses every 30 seconds until 2 minutes is up which helps me with adequate brushing. Just my experience, but maybe the model is more relevant in this situation!

It’s absolutely disgusting. I do not recommend the IO to my patients any longer because of this issue and I run the head in an ultrasonic pod weekly (as well as taking off the brush head, letting it air dry, wiping down the handle, etc. I am METICULOUS and it’s gnarly.) The Oral-B genius series is a lot easier to take care of, but it’s the old series and it’s a lot louder/clunkier of a brush but still effective. I just switched back to my BURST Pro toothbrush, which is a similar toothbrush to sonicare in terms of movements and it has a lifetime warranty if it breaks. If that’s something you’d be interested in giving a shot you could use my promo code KXBGHA. Otherwise, sonicare is also a solid brush, but I would make sure to get one with at least three intensities (which is different from modes!)

Oral B has the pressure light that I’m a big fan of. I personally use a sonicare but have purchased oral b’s for family members who needed the guidance feature. Love both, if you’re new to electric brushing both sonicare and oral B are amazing. Look for coupons for the brush heads, if you can find a great deal stock up and get that brush also

I’ve used the genius and the io in the past

I love both. I recommend oral b with the pressure indicator light- they have the market on it. I had to do surgery on my sonicare. That screw in the center notoriously is faulty. Conclusion: if you think you press too hard, or want more of a feedback on how you’re doing I recommend the oral b. If you just want an excellent brush and don’t care about the pressure go sonicare.

My oral b toothbrushes have lasted me at least 5 years each. I recommend the oral b genius Because I like the toothbrush head style more than the oral b io

about 2 months ago

That’s pretty average for an electric toothbrush. Rechargeable toothbrushes typically last much longer than replaceable battery toothbrushes, and the rechargeable batteries are more high quality than the replaceable battery versions too. I recommend an oral b genius over the oral b io. It’s cheaper and has a pressure indicator light like the io. It also uses the older “regular” style toothbrush heads (which I prefer over the new heads for the io). It should last you about 4 years too
