Small and round for maneuverability inside the mouth, the brush heads on this electric toothbrush pulsate in and out while also rapidly oscillating to scrub away plaque from between teeth and along gum lines better than ordinary toothbrushes. Two sets of extra-long bristles on the brush heads' sides clean deep between teeth, and soft, rounded middle bristles do their work gently and safely without the need for firm pressing. A sensor automatically stops the high-speed pulsations if too much pressure is being applied. After two minutes, a pulsing signal indicates that you've reached the recommended brushing time, which encourages children to continue brushing until the signal. This model comes with a recharging stand that has a brush head storage compartment and three brush heads with removable color-coded rings; place the stand on the counter or mount it on the wall (screws are included). After up to one year of use, Braun offers a full-refund guarantee if you're not completely satisfied. The handle carries a one-year warranty against defects.
