An electric toothbrush might cause issues for an aggressive brusher, said Dr. If you scrub your teeth with an electric brush the same way you do a manual brush, it can potentially lead to gum recession. As with manual toothbrushes, all electric toothbrushes aren't created equal. Some are better at tackling hard-to-reach places, and others are preferable for specific types of dental issues.
Doniger said that the type of brush you purchase should reflect the issues you deal with pertaining to tooth and gum health. Below are the best, expert-recommended electric toothbrushes on the market at various price points, as well as electric toothbrushes for kids and those designed for travel. The Philips Sonicare DiamondClean comes with three brush heads, each designed to tackle hard-to-reach areas; a brush body; and a traveling case for convenient packing. Pair the brush with the app on your tablet or phone and it will show you an automated progress report and real-time feedback on your brushing.
Through app pairing, the brush tracks your habits over time, provides you with helpful oral care tips and helps you to focus on the most important areas in your mouth. It includes six modes daily clean, gum care, sensitive, whitening, deep clean and tongue cleaner so that you can brush your teeth to meet your oral health goals. This top-rated model is available in three colors: Black , Rose Gold and White.
New York-based Dr. Beyond the two-minute timer, you can customize your brushing experience with various brush heads, like the hollow tip for veneers and crowns, short tip for general everyday use and long-tip bristles for wider spaces between teeth. The Oral-B brush is Doniger's recommendation for the best travel toothbrush.
She noted that it comes with a convenient travel case and that the body of the brush isn't bulky. It comes with "position detection technology," which uses Bluetooth and facial recognition to help you improve your daily brushing habits.

This basic, rechargeable model offers the three main features dentists recommend: soft bristles, a pressure sensor, and a timer. If you have braces or other orthodontics, you also might prefer Oral-B, according to Stoess-Allen, who recommends the brand to her patients because it makes a brush head designed to navigate wires and bands in the mouth.
Personally, he is a Sonicare fan and uses the DiamondClean at home. In that sense, it helps me improve my technique to preserve my gums and teeth. Dentist Elisa Mello of NYC Smile Design says she uses this water-flosser-sonic-toothbrush combo to get the benefits of both simultaneously.
If, after trying it, you find you love the electric feel, it might be worth it in the long run to buy a higher-quality model. Although Quip was the first direct-to-consumer toothbrush to earn ADA acceptance, the sleek, heavily marketed brush is by far the most debated among dentists. The combination of short and long bristles on the brush makes for an especially efficient clean — as the former removes surface plaque, and the latter removes bacteria in hidden, hard-to-reach areas like behind molars, Huang explains.
Electric toothbrushes have brush heads that rotate at a rate of about 2, to 7, strokes per minute, compared to about strokes per minutes when you brush with a manual toothbrush. Sonic toothbrushes vibrate much faster, at about 30, brushes per minute. Because sonic toothbrushes vibrate at around 10 times the rate of an electric toothbrush, a two-minute brushing session with a sonic toothbrush will give you more cleaning power.
Another benefit of sonic toothbrushes is that they offer a secondary type of cleaning related to an effect called fluid dynamics.
