The history of Oral-B electric toothbrushes began in the 60s of the 20th century, when the first Oral-B Sonic sonic model was released. In the 80s, this brand teamed up with the German manufacturer of household appliances Braun, and since then they have been jointly producing modern, technologically advanced electric brushes that are popular all over the world.

pros
- Excellent
- Beautiful appearance
Minuses
- Expensive smart attachments recommended
The general consensus is that Oral-B's rotating brushes are priced better than Philips' vibrating, 'sonic' brushes, but I prefer the Sonicare line as they feel better in the hand and look better. In their design, you immediately notice that they will become less dirty. In contrast, Oral-B brushes always quickly form a layer of dried toothpaste around the base of the brush head, which therefore does not cool down.
However, the cleaning efficiency on both systems is excellent. I have no complaints about Oral-B on this matter.
This Philips brush offers the best combination of features and price in the Sonicare line. It doesn't have too many pointless cleaning modes - just a clear "clean" and "white" plus a "gum care" mode, which can be useful if you have problems in this area (I never use it).
There's also a choice of three intensity settings, with a timer that buzzes after you've spent enough time on each quarter of your mouth.
Like all brushes, this one will reduce intensity if it senses you're pressing too hard - which can damage your gums and teeth.
The new feature, BrushSync, is a bit iffy: It changes the intensity and mode used depending on the type of smart brush head attached (Philips offers several options). This supposedly optimizes teeth cleaning.
I'm sure this is very clever, but it's hard to say whether it will improve cleaning at all. You can use this brush with older, non-smart Sonicare brush heads if you prefer.
What's more, BrushSync also lets you know when to replace the head. Although, considering how expensive heads can be, you might be better off not knowing.

Reviews
Svetlana: “I purchased my first electric toothbrush Oral-B 8 years ago, it worked properly throughout this period, but 2 months ago the battery finally wore out and stopped holding a charge even after a long recharge. I immediately bought myself a new brush of the same type, now they are much cheaper. I can’t imagine brushing my teeth without it.”
Vladimir: “I tried using electric toothbrushes 20 years ago, but then this practice did not make an impression on me. However, six months ago my wife bought me an Oral-B brush, and I immediately realized that modern models are more advanced. Previously, I could remove plaque from tobacco and coffee only when visiting the dentist, but now it can be easily removed at home.”
Christina: “I started using an Oral-B electric toothbrush for about two months, and immediately began to experience many side effects: pain, discomfort, bleeding gums. However, the dentist explained that I was using my toothbrush incorrectly: I was brushing my teeth for too long. I had to wait for the damaged gums to heal before using it again, but now there are no problems.”
Which brush from the iO series cleans better?
No, all brushes clean the same.
So, in the 8 and 9 series there are additional modes compared to 7, but these modes do not affect the cleaning results.
This smart series changes the user's habits using his experience when using a toothbrush.
The argument is in favor of what to offer the Koristovach and what the best result he can get from cleaning, these are the tasks this particular brush should solve. But there is basically no scientific evidence that a brush will solve your problems with your gums and teeth, especially clinical data. Therefore, when solving pressing problems, we still advise you to consult a doctor.
For years, Oral-B and other brands have offered different brushing modes in electric toothbrushes, but these additional modes are still not known to be beneficial for most users.
