A lot of customer ask if the sonic electric toothbrush better than the original electric toothbrush since advertising would like to make you think so, as the sonic electric toothbrush price tag more higher than the original electric toothbrush. But is the true? Here we will discuss about it ?
There are about 3 kinds of toothbrush in the market as manual toothbrush, rotation electric toothbrush and sonic electric toothbrush. Here are the basic difference between the three type toothbrush.
Manual toothbrush: These come in many shapes and sizes, and are powered by your hand/wrist. The effect of using the brush is to scrape away plaque and other particles. These brushes are very effective at cleaning the surface of the teeth, and are getting better at getting “in between” teeth due to bristle design. But in the end, they can only clean what the bristles actually touch.
Rotation electric toothbrush: First introduced 60 years ago or so, these toothbrushes move/vibrate the brush head, somewhere to the tune of 2,500 and 7,000 strokes per minute. This eliminates the user having to move the head in a “brushing” motion, and instead just move the vibrating brush head along the teeth. Personally, I would call these types of toothbrushes “gimmicky,” because like a conventional toothbrush, they only clean what they touch. Thus, the only advantage is not moving your hand in a “brushing” manner, which isn’t much of an advantage.
Sonic electric toothbrush: These are the above-mentioned “electric toothbrushes” on steroids. Sonic Toothbrushes generally vibrate at 30,000 to 40,000 strokes per minute. The advertising says that this gives you a better cleaning, because they clean even areas where the bristles don’t touch. So, is that true? And if it’s true, is it indeed better than a standard toothbrush? In my opinion, the answer is “it depends.” It depends on you, and how in-depth your oral hygiene practices are.
I will say that the evidence does suggest that a sonic toothbrush will indeed clean areas that a conventional brush cannot. This is because the extreme vibration creates a substantial amount of energy and motion, powering mouth fluids (saliva, water, toothpaste) into the areas between teeth and below the gum line. The result is these areas are given an amount of attention that otherwise would not happen with a standard (or electric) toothbrush. So in that sense, a sonic brush is definitely superior to a standard brush. In addition, studies have shown that people brush longer with a sonic toothbrush. All else being equal, brushing longer is usually a good thing, so score another point for sonic toothbrushes. And lastly, many sonic toothbrush users report that their teeth “feel” better with a sonic toothbrush. That’s worth something.
However, that doesn’t mean they are truly “better.” I said earlier that it depends on you and your oral hygiene routine. If your daily routine includes using a standard toothbrush for two minutes, and also floss, you are getting everything (and more) than a sonic toothbrush can give. Flossing scrapes/cleans the areas where a normal toothbrush cannot reach, and it does so better than any sonic toothbrush can (please don’t think a sonic toothbrush is a substitute for flossing, despite what any advertising claims.) Also, some people use a water flosser (like a water pik®) — again, this goes beyond what a sonic toothbrush can do.
In the end, it really depends on you. Sonic electric toothbrush can really better service for you than the rotation electric toothbrush. But if you do brush diligently and floss regularly, a sonic toothbrush probably isn’t totally necessary — you are likely covering all the bases with your current oral hygiene routine.
