Sonicare toothbrushes rely on a sonic technology to clean teeth better than a regular toothbrush. The brushes are electrically powered and clean teeth with less pressure than a manual toothbrush.
Sonic Technology
The bristles on Sonicare toothbrushes move back and forth faster than other electric toothbrushes. According to the company, the fast bristle movement creates a "dynamic cleaning action."
Effects
The movement of the bristles deep cleans, removing plaque below the gum line and between teeth. The brush's sonic technology is also effective at removing coffee stains and whitening teeth.
Tongue Cleaning
The movement of the bristles is also effective at cleaning the tongue. The back-and-forth motion loosens and removes bacteria from the surface of the tongue and the taste buds.
Benefits
Using a Sonicare toothbrush reduces gingivitis and helps to shrink periodontal pockets. It is also more gentle to use than manual toothbrushes, since less pressure is required.
Disadvantages
A Sonicare toothbrush can cost 40 times as much as a manual toothbrush. The replacement heads are not inexpensive either, and cost about 12 dollars each.
