Okay, so I'm a middle aged guy. No delusions of heading down the catwalk with gleaming pearly whites. But I'd still like to keep my ownn teeth.
I've used an Oral-B electric for years, which is a wonderful appliance. It's done great and my teeth are in great shape. But, my teeth are very tightly spaced. My dentist commented that I have a lot of pocketing in my lower jaw and pushed me to switch to this brush instead. It's a bit pricey, but ... she's a great dentist and I trust her.
It's a different feeling. It's very soft. At first, it's like having a fly in your mouth. Not very pleasant, and it doesn't have that "scrubby" feeling of the Oral B. I also miss the Oral B's automatic timer.
What I really do like about this brush is that the heads are very precise and get into the gum, but very very gently. I still floss every day, even though the appliance says it's just as effective.
My dentist said she could see a marked different in my gums in one week. So, how is that not a good thing? It's about the same price as the Oral B. However, if you buy this through your dentist - you do get the lifetime warranty.
