Did you know an electric tooth brush usually gets your teeth even cleaner - especially with braces! Electric tooth brushes, in a Consumer Reports test, removed 75 percent or more of plaque in our tests, on average.
The top-rated Oral-B rotates in both directions and pulses, and a sensor stops ...pulsations when you brush too hard; the runner-up Philips Sonicare is the vibrating type. Despite its effectiveness, most users said it vibrated too much. (Sonicare brushes might take getting used to, but they have an Easy Start feature that can help.) Poway Braces encourages the use of these rotary tooth brushes during orthodontic treatment with braces.
