Product Description

Amazon.com Review

This replacement brush head fits all Braun Oral-B electric toothbrushes and has soft, rounded bristles in the center to protect the teeth from too-firm brushing. Long interdental tips on the edges clean deep between teeth and below the gum line and fade after prolonged use, indicating when a brush head needs replacing. The neck of the brush head has a removable color-code ring to identify individual brush heads for family members. --Fred Brack

4.0 out of 5 stars An easy, safe, effective way to brush(but a bit expensive), February 9, 2004

This review is from: Oral-B Ortho Replacement Brush Head (Health and Beauty)

Dentists all over the country are recommending the Oral-B electric toothbrush. There are several reasons. It does the work for you, vibrating thousands of times a second, massaging your gums, it lets you clean your teeth without scraping your gums with a toothbrush, which can cause them to recede and bleed, and it reaches between your teeth to catch plaque and germs. This is a wonderful toothbrush, and I recommend it. However, if you want a review of a toothbrush, you'll read the toothbrush page. This is a page for replacement heads.

There's a lot of confusion about replacement heads for Oral B electric toothbrushes on Amazon, and I just want to give you all some facts. There are only three kinds of heads for ALL Oral-B electric toothbrushes. Flexisoft EB17, Extrasoft EB17, and Ortho OD17. I prefer Flexisoft EB17. (The Extrasoft is a little too soft, and the Ortho is overpriced for very little extra benefit.) I'd recommend the Flexisoft heads over this one, and they're less than half the price.

This product is what my son's orthodontist recommended for him to use for his braces. So far he likes it and has no complaints on it. I had a difficult time finding this item in the stores, so we had to order online; find out it was cheaper and less time consuming just to buy it online.

Our son has braces and needs a special brush head. These are very expensive in the stores, however, we were able to find the exact item on Amazon, at a much cheaper price! It arrived on-time and the product is exactly as pictured and expected.
