What is an electric toothbrush

An electric toothbrush resembles an ordinary toothbrush only in appearance. Her bristles vibrate due to a motor located in the handle of the device. Depending on the model, the bristles either move up or down or rotate. Charges such a brush from the network or from the batteries.

Special features

A big plus of such devices is cleaning time. It is reduced from 5 minutes to 2, which will appeal not only to children who are always tired of tedious brushing of teeth, but also constantly late adults. This brush is beautiful replaces the usualHowever, it is not perfect either. It can be used against plaque, but the remnants of food still better removes the irrigator.

For those who want to buy not only a brush, but also an irrigator, a new interesting model has appeared - Oral-B.

It successfully combines two devices, takes up less space. But this model is also much more expensive than the separately purchased kit (more on this below).

Benefits of an Electric Brush

Dentists around the world agree that electric toothbrushes clean their teeth much better and more effective. They remove twice the amount of plaque. This is achieved through new technologies, 2D or 3D, and methods of rotation of the bristles.

A few years ago, 1D technology was used, such brushes were inexpensive. The head of such a model rotated only in one direction. In the present tense, such models can no longer be found on the market; the niche of inexpensive electric brushes is filled with devices with innovative 2D technology. They work completely differently, doing reciprocating motion at a speed of 7600 per minute. There are more expensive toothbrushes that work in 3D mode: pulsating ones are also added to reciprocating movements. Every minute happens up to 4000 pulsations.

3D brushes are considered the best, as pulsating movements provide the bristles with better access to the space between the teeth.

Another advantage of this model is the ability to remove a strong plaque.In fact, such an electric device is an excellent home remedy for polishing teeth. For smokers and those who are not able to live without black coffee, this is a great way to maintain their whiteness.

Types of devices

The first - classical. It is a brush with a round rotating head. Performs two types of movements - reciprocating and pulsating. In the set of such devices are often several nozzles not only for cleansing, but also for polishing teeth or gum massage.

The second type is sound brush. With the help of a special high-frequency generator, it can turn ordinary electricity into sound waves. The setae have more than 18,000 vibrations per minute. The use of such a device is more efficient, since sound waves weaken the attachment of microbes to the teeth.

The third type is ultrasound model. It works with the help of a generator that converts electricity into ultrasonic waves. Effectively cleans teeth from pigment.

Also, electric toothbrushes differ in type of power: there are those that work on the battery, and those that use batteries.

How to choose the perfect toothbrush

1. Determine with food type. It is better to take the one that runs on battery. The device on batteries will be convenient for those who often happens on trips.
2. Choose the nature of the movement of the villi - 1D, 2D or 3D. As we already understood, the third type is considered to be the best, but it costs much more than the first two.
3. Deciding if we need additional modes cleaning and nozzles. The budget models have one mode and one nozzle, the models are more expensive - at least three. There are the following modes: care for the gums, intensive cleaning, for sensitive teeth, whitening, cleansing the tongue. All of these modes - for the most part a marketing move that makes a brush more expensive. Almost all owners of the device still use only one mode - the standard one, designed for daily cleaning.
4. Choose nozzles. It is important to know that the classic nozzles for daily cleaning come in a variety of colors. This makes it possible to use one brush with several people. Any nozzles that are not included can be purchased independently.
