Product Description

Amazon.com Review

The four replacement brush heads in this pack fit all Braun Oral-B electric toothbrushes. They have extra 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 necks of the brush heads have removable color-code rings to identify individual brush heads for family members. --Fred Brack

5.0 out of 5 stars An easy, safe, effective way to brush, February 9, 2004

By	Tobin Coziahr "Intergalactic bounty hunter" (Santa Clara, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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, which is what this item is. (The Extrasoft is a little too soft, and the Ortho is overpriced)

The reason I mention this is that the prices are all over the board for what is the same product. For example, this listing is for four Flexisoft EB17 heads for $24.99 (The EB17-4 just means there are four of them). There are other offers through Amazon partners for this exact same item for $12.99. Make sure you find the best deal, because they're all the exact same product, listed multiple times at different prices!

1.0 out of 5 stars Brush head become loose after short period of time, January 19, 2009

By	T T (CA, USA) - See all my reviews

I purchased this Oral-B Precision Clean 4 pack replacement head, I highly doubt if this is original Oral-B product. After few weeks of light use, the brush head became loose and wobbling causing extra noise, it pinched my lips and tongue. I am on the 3rd brush head now (out of the 4 pack I bought), they all broke the same way.

I remembered I bought the 2 or 3 pack replacement brush head from Target before, they worked exactly like the original, but expensive. That's why it was so tempting to get this cheap "thought to be original" alternative. Be aware!

5.0 out of 5 stars How Something So Basic Can Be Fun, March 10, 2005

By	Daniel Rutkowski (Wernersville, PA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    (VINE VOICE)

This review is about the Oral-B Flexisoft replacement heads. Coupled with the Braun electric toothbrushes, this is one of the most effective aids to oral hygiene ever developed. My introduction to Oral-B goes back over 27 years to a USAF basic training briefing; a dental technician held up an Oral-B toothbrush with medium bristles and said "this is the toothbrush you need if you want to keep your teeth" or some such statement like that. Well, I haven't lost one yet.

The motorized mechanicals of the toothbrush do most of the work while you guide the oscillating round head around and over your pearly whites. While the heads are undeniably pricey when looked at just in dollars and cents, there is value in the fact that the total package actually makes a rather mundane chore a little more fun while actually living up to the claim that it does a better job on your teeth than manual brushing.

Since I've always believed the entire surface area of the toothbrush head was meant to be covered with toothpaste and the size of the head on these is smaller than the average brush, I know I'm using less toothpaste to do the same job. While this is no big deal, the long term economic benefit is plaque under control, healthy gums and a bright smile full of natural teeth. It's kind of hard to deny it works since my dentist has confirmed the positive results upon direct examination.

Just be careful what model of these brush heads you are selecting and watch the pricing. Oral-B uses a kind of color code for the bristles, and the ones that have the colored indicator bristles in a line with the shaft are the Flexisoft model that seems to equate to medium hardness.

Enjoy life!
