    "$199 Tell em they're dreaming!"
    I just paid $25 for an Oral B electric toothbrush that was recommended by 9 out of 10 dentists that were paid cash for comments by Oral B!!

      Have probably the same toothbrush mate, wondering from any dental experts or users how much of a difference does a 200$ or $100 even toothbrush make to a$25 one,
      Especially keen to know as have a couple of crowns and want to protect them as much as possible.

        From my experience, the off the shelf Woolworths models don’t run as fast/vigorous as the $100 and up.

        When I was on Oral B, the more expensive models seemed to have a higher frequency. In Philips I think it’s all the same, they just seem to get more features (different modes, Bluetooth etc).

        My teeth felt a bit cleaner when I went with Sonicare. My son says the same, but my wife likes Oral B more.

        I just bought the lower end lithium Sonicare as I needed to replace mine….wish I’d waited for this though!

        Switched to one of these phillips sonic ones a few years back. Thought electric toothbrushes were just for old people but i was genuinely impressed (maybe ive passed the threshold). Its helped prevent plaque build up i would frequently get behind my front bottom teeth.

        Havnt tried oral b, but from my research whenni purchased, these phillisp sonic ones are more effective.

      • Regular brushing and covering all surfaces is more important than the features of a $200 vs $25 electric toothbrush. The benefits of a rotating brush is they generally scrub larger areas better. The benefit of an ultrasonic brush is they're better at targeting specific spots - but you need to move the brush more and potentially miss areas. Think of it like a pressure washer - a jet is great at targeting a small area with baked on grime whereas the rotating patio brush will help you clean a bigger area that isn't too dirty faster.

        • Not sure about this. Isn’t the brush area larger on Sonicare comparing to the small rounded Oral-B?

            @NoBargainNoLife: The bristles on the ultrasonic brushes don't move the same distance - so you could be missing lots of spots - though the vibrations are supposed to agitate liquids on your teeth for extended reach. I guess it depends on your brushing technique. Ultrasonic brushes aren't recommended for kids because they don't move their brushes very well - whereas the rotating brush will cover a greater area. This seems a good guide on the differences: https://www.toothbrushes.co.uk/blog/oscillating-vs-sonic-too…

    I have this and I used to use an old Woolies oral b electric before this

    This one is life changing. I feel like I've been to tthe dentist for a clean every time I use this. I now make this my go to birthday present for family. For the price. It's the cheapest bit of dental health care. It's very excellent I recommend it over and over.

  • Is this the kind that vibrates instead of rotates? I tried the vibrating ones and they were horribly uncomfortable and just didn't feel like they did a good enough job. I like the Oral-B ones that do the alternating rotation, feels like it does much better work

    • It takes 4-5 days to get used to it.

      This one in particular is programmed to start at a lower vibration so its easier to get used to.

    What’s the diff between this one and the 4500 single handle $99 one here I wonder?

    https://www.shavershop.com.au/philips/sonicare-protectivecle…

    • Modes that you'll probably never use. ('gum care' on the dual pack going by the picture)

    • you can check here
      https://www.electricteeth.com/au/sonicare-comparisons/
      Actually not huge diff between 4500 and 5100: whitening mode, additional replacement head and travel case

      I'm waiting for 7300 as it is the cheapest of all advanced and has almost no diff with more expencive models

  • This or Oclean X Pro Elite?

    • I currently have an X Pro Elite, and it doesn't feel as clean as my previous DiamondClean. Brush heads are a lot cheaper, and all the brushing customisations are pretty cool though.

    • Decided to get the Oclean X Pro Elite here, 12% off eBay plus local stock, $82.24. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/165517097952

  • I've got a $15 off ebay plus code for the dual pack (down to $184),

  • Sonicare is garbage a the head just vibrates but does not sweep plaque off the teeth. Any oral b is better as the oscillating head actually displaces plaque. I'm a dentist and I got one of these when I graduated as a gift from the reps. Opened it several years later and never used it again.
