Oral-B electric toothbrush comparisons

Hi Pete. 1) Yes provided you are not using an iO Series brush handle. It will depend on their age too. 6+ should be fine. If your brush has a slower or more gentle mode like sensitive then that can be helpful at least initially as they desensitise to the added power your brush will likely bring. 2) Absolutely! I'd be there in a shot if any friend of mine were having such a party. 6 or 66 it's got to be good fun.

Yes, the iO Series 9 can be used to clean porcelain veneers. All electric toothbrushes can.

Thanks for the feedback Renata. We will definitely consider this for future updates. The vast majority of models now come with Lithium batteries, but there are exceptions. Others have asked about us showing the numbers of oscillation and pulsations on this chart previously. To be honest this is something we are unsure on. The reality is the number of movements, for the most part, have a limited impact on the cleaning results. Thus we don't want to imply that more equals better, but we do acknowledge that people do want to know this information. We will certainly bear your comments in mind as we continually review our approach.

Hi James. I don't have the figures of the number of oscillations and pulsations on the older Pro 5000 available to give confirmation of the power difference. And add to this, there have been various iterations of the 5000 over the years, so it would be important to find out the exact one to say 100%. I am confident that the Genius X motor is more powerful. I think the Pro 5000 you might have has something in the region of 8,800 oscillations and either 20,000 or 40,000 pulsations. The Genius X has up to 10,500 oscillations and 48,000 pulsations. Power isn't normally promoted or documented as it is a small part of the toothbrushing experience. More power doesn't necessarily equal a better clean. Your total brushing time and technique have a big part to play. So, yes there will likely be a noticeable are not going to make a significant difference to the overall cleaning results if you are already brushing twice a day for 2 minutes with the correct technique. If your existing brush is working, I would generally say stick with that until such time as it actually needs replacing.

Thanks for the comment. This is something we are adding to more content we produce. We have not checked the sound level of every Oral-B model. Most are within a few decibels of each other. The Oral-B iO is the quietest Oral-B model at the moment that we have measured the sound on. Our article about the quietest electric toothbrush might be of interest to you.

Hi Niks. From what I can tell, the Oral-B Pro 2 2900 and Pro 2 2950N are the same thing. The difference appears to be that the 2900 is marketed and sold in the UK primarily, whilst the 2950N is sold within central Europe in countries like France, the Netherlands etc. If you have a Oral-B Pro 760 already that is working fine, it is not necessarily worth the upgrade. Technically, the handles in the 2950 package are newer. The key differences are: - Pro 2 2950 brush handles have a visible pressure sensor built-in the Pro 760 does not - Pro 2 2950 brush handles have a lithium-ion battery that offers 2 weeks of use on a full charge compared to approx 7 days of the Pro 760 - Pro 2 2950 has 2 brush handles in the box compared to the 1 of the Pro 760 - Pro 2 2950 is slightly more powerful, with more movements per minute in the brush head - Pro 760 comes with a travel case that the Pro 2 2950 does not - Pro 760 is cheaper I hope that helps. Any more questions, just let me know.
