For optimum cleaning performance, electric toothbrush heads should be replaced every six months. This set of two ultracompact replacement brush heads fits all original Sonicare and Advance series handles. Color-coded for individual users, each brush head features a longer neck and shorter rows of extra-soft, rounded bristles in order to better fit smaller mouths, such as children's, and allow precision reach around braces. --Ann Bieri

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Heads for Small Mouths, March 3, 2005

Before using Sonicare, I used a regular toothbrush. Unfortunately, it was hard to get the large head of a traditional brush towards the back of my mouth. My dental hygenist noticed heavy plaque back there and planned to use local anesthetic at my next appointment in order to perform a proper prophylaxis. I just was not cleaning my back teeth well enough!

She also recommended I buy the Sonicare toothbrush with the Ultra Compact Brush Heads. With it, I can now easily brush the back of my mouth. At my next appointment, my hygenist decided I no longer needed the anesthetic, because my back teeth required little prophylactic cleaning.

If you brush your teeth twice per day with the Sonicare, you definitely need to replace the brush head after six months, just as the instructions say. They do not wear out the same as a regular toothbrush, but you can tell the difference near the end of the sixth month when your teeth do not feel as clean as they should.

The only complaint I have about the a-Series compact head is that it is getting ever harder to find, presumably because Sonicare has newer systems out. But my a-Series toothbrush is still working perfectly after 4 years, and I'm not up for spending $100 on a new system until necessary. For folks with large teeth and small mouths, the compact heads are essential. Just wish they wouldn't pull the replacement brushes before the end of the natural life of the product...

My periodontist insists on this particular model, even if it isn't the latest Sonicare type, because of its compact brush size - he says at regular exams he can tell which brush head his patients are using, this one being the most effective. I'd give this item a five star rating if only it weren't so expensive.
