Product Information

You will also want to bear in mind that whatever you wrap around the brush you want to be clean as it’s going near your mouth. You also want to ensure it does not interfere with the movement and operation of the brush. You don’t want a stray thread getting caught up in the brush head mechanism.

We also tested these toothbrushes but ultimately decided not to include them in our list above. They fell short in our test when it came to technology, features, and functionality: Because an electric toothbrush does the work for you, and because most will now tell you when you’re pushing too hard, it can help protect against further recession.” Will electric toothbrushes whiten my teeth? With a sonic toothbrush, you could likely leave the doors open and not wake that person in the room next door. With an Oral-B brush you would likely want to shut the door so as not to wake them up. Muting/deadening the sound I have used and handled over 100 brushes and for the most part all of those brushes operate within a similar sound range.Otherwise, it’s worth looking out for pressure sensors that can warn you when you’re pressing too hard while brushing – or not hard enough. Plus, a brushing timer that sends a pulse through the brush when it’s time to stop brushing (usually two minutes), or time to move to another quadrant of your mouth (roughly every 30 seconds). Just like a regular toothbrush, the head should be replaced every 3 months. Unfortunately, there are no fading bristles or alert systems built into SURI to remind you. It will be up to you to remember when to replace them. You will know if you haven’t achieved the advised brushing time because you will have to manually turn the brush off, rather than it powering off automatically. If you are like many people who risk wearing their teeth and gums by brushing too hard, unfortunately, the SURI S1 toothbrush is not for you. There is no pressure sensor available to notify you of your mistake. It can vary from one model to another, but typically the noise difference between these 2 brands is in the region of 10 decibels. Oral-B being the louder of the two.

Electric toothbrushes are battery-powered brushes that use oscillating or sonic vibrating movements to remove plaque build-up, debris and bacteria. Most modern models feature two-minute timers, multiple cleaning modes and pressure sensors to ensure you aren't brushing too hard. How we test electric toothbrushes

Made from aluminum with an inner steel core, it’s not a perfect cylinder. Wider than it is deep, there is some curvature but squared sides give a more industrial appearance and makes it feel solid and secure in hand. Dried toothpaste and gunk in and around the head as well as around the shaft can affect the performance. It may cause the brush head not to move quite as it should. Parts may not travel as freely or their path of movement might be disrupted in turn affecting the noise and efficiency with which they operate. The best Oral-B electric toothbrushes to buy in 2023 1.

The reality is that none of these work very well. I actually found it to be more hassle than it is worth. But, in certain situations, it may well be better than nothing.That being said, their products are made in and shipped from China. It would be preferable if they were made elsewhere, but the reality is China is one of the most well-equipped countries to produce these products. It will take time before SURI can establish its own manufacturing in other, arguably better places. Sonic and ultrasonic – These are brushes that vibrate at certain high speeds and frequencies to help break down plaque. Manufacturers of sonic brushes claim that they also drive cleaning fluid (a mixture of toothpaste, water and saliva) between teeth to help dislodge plaque. Vibrating brushes are generally more expensive than rotating models. Battery life is the biggie. It’s now unusual to get an old-school NiMH battery that runs out in less than two weeks and takes most of a day to charge, but they still exist. More modern lithium-ion batteries will give you two to four weeks of brushing – or more – without a recharge, and will take anywhere between three and 12 hours to reach full capacity. I can’t say one model has stood out for being particularly loud. That ‘loud’ categorization applies to Oral-B as a whole.

Too often doing the right thing costs a lot more and isn’t financially viable for the majority of us, but thankfully that isn’t the case with SURI. Given that the average battery life of an electric toothbrush is around 3-4 weeks, SURI is spot on, if not slightly better than average, particularly considering the slimmer profile of the handle. The better the condition of the toothbrush the better it will perform, so do try to take care of it.These oral care industry giants have stepped up in partnership with TerraCycle to offer recycling solutions to almost every plastic oral care product there is. Dentist Dr Toby Edwards-Lunn points out that electric toothbrushes help children, the elderly or anyone with a weaker grip to make sure their teeth are getting the proper cleaning they need. “In this day and age the technology is so good, you don’t need to put any elbow grease into it. The brush does it for you,” he says. At Select, we work with experts who have specialized knowledge and authority based on relevant training and/or experience. We also take steps to ensure that all expert advice and recommendations are made independently and with no undisclosed financial conflicts of interest. Excluding the UV element altogether would have minimized the carbon footprint further. As it stands the power cable must be connected. Perhaps including a small battery to power this, would have been useful. It’s not a sustainable approach but far more convenient given you are likely to want to run the cycle more frequently than you need to charge the handle.
