Oral-B electric toothbrushes are undoubtedly among the best products for oral hygiene. The German company, over the years, has deepened its specialization in the field by marketing the Oral-B Professional Care line, which presents different models of a toothbrush, each with specific characteristics, which adapt perfectly to customer needs.
Electric toothbrushes are particularly recommended for those people who do not pay much attention to dental hygiene and do not respect the minimum times required for optimal and thorough cleaning.
In fact, a manual toothbrush, if not used correctly, does not remove all the dirt that accumulates between the teeth, generating caries and plaque. They are also ideal for young children who have not yet developed the right brushing technique, even if they are recommended by 7 years of age.
Oral-B electric toothbrushes: The basic characteristics
For years, Oral-B has been creating toothbrushes at the top of the range, both in terms of cleaning and maintenance, without talking about additional accessories and features that make it a unique object on the market.
First of all, we start from the refill: all Oral-B toothbrushes are powered by a rechargeable battery with a support base from which it receives the energy needed to recharge. They are certainly lighter and more ergonomic than battery-powered competitors who have a wider handle for housing them.
Let’s move to the head: the movements of the heads are not all the same. In the case of Oral-B, almost all models are characterized by a pulsating movement, that is to say, that in addition to rotating and oscillating, the head makes a movement back and forth to try to remove as much plate as possible at each passage.
The central part of the handle is covered in all models with rubber, in order to increase the grip on the toothbrush during washing. Especially if you buy electric toothbrushes for children, we recommend checking that the socket is the right size for a child’s hands and that the handle is rubber-coated.
In all models, the head is interchangeable: all dentists recommend changing it every three months for greater cleaning of the entire dental arch. In this sense, some models are designed specifically for families: a single motor and two heads to be interchanged, recognizable through a colored ring placed at the base of the head itself.
Let’s move on to the additional options, which make Braun models, super-technological electric toothbrushes. In some models, there is a timer that indicates when it is time to change the dental arch during the wash; a timer that indicates the time required for thorough cleaning; the choice of some different ways of brushing; the light that indicates if the pressure on the teeth is too excessive; and in more apps dedicated to checking the cleaning of the teeth on your smartphone.
Obviously, they are all additional modalities that do not need much for good dental hygiene, but we particularly like it because they make the product much more appealing and refined, even if the price is obviously above average.
The models of Oral-B electric toothbrushes recommend
Oral-B Pro
The top model from the Oral-B Pro range is the Pro 1000. It is absolutely recommended for all people who have stains on their teeth that are struggling to remove them.
This brush uses the triple movement typical of Oral-B toothbrushes, oscillation, rotation, and pulsation, for a thorough cleaning that will bring food and plaque in particular. In reality, the real heart of the toothbrush is in the center: a soft plastic cup is placed between the outer bristles, which helps to remove the most difficult stains.
The model has an internal timer to set to meet the minimum time for thorough cleaning: 2 minutes are those necessary and recommended by all Italian dentists. The heads are all interchangeable, and you can also insert types of more classic heads, compatible with other Oral-B models. This model has a brushing action equal to 8,800 oscillations and 20,000 pulsations per minute.

Oral-B Vitality
Absolutely the most widespread model on the market loved and successfully used by thousands of consumers. It is ideal for those who approach for the first time an electric toothbrush and those looking for a toothbrush that cleans in-depth, without having to be confused with trivial options. Thanks to its essential but appealing design, the Oral-B Vitality CrossAction 2D model will not disappoint you. The technology of the head is 2D, that is to say, it uses two movements, the oscillating one and the rotating one.
The peculiarity is the bristles of the head: they are inclined by 16 degrees to allow thorough cleaning of each individual tooth. It is equipped with a timer that can be set for a daily and thorough cleaning of the mouth: as always, the minimum is 2 minutes. Also, in this model, it is possible to use different heads that come from other Braun models.

Oral-B Genius
Difficult to find suitable words to describe the many features that are enclosed in this toothbrush, the Genius 8000. First, we start by saying that from the point of view of the head, there are no differences with most other models: the bristles are inclined 16 degrees for thorough and single cleaning of each tooth; the movement uses 3D technology (oscillating, rotating and pulsing); the package includes ahead with an internal soft plastic part to remove even the most difficult stains, and finally, there is the timer to set the minimum washing time.
In addition to this, using this Oral-B model means going beyond the usual tooth-washing experience. First of all, at the bottom of the head is the SmartRing, a colored sensor that can be set to favorite color, which indicates the pressure of the teeth during washing, the Bluetooth connection to your smartphone and the brush timer: the sensor is easily visible from every angle while brushing your teeth.
The characteristic of the pressure sensor is very interesting: during washing, if the pressure is excessive, the head slows down, until it stops altogether, and the SmartRing, with its coloring, warns of what is happening. For those who want a thorough oral cleaning can install the dedicated app of Braun that allows you to view, via Bluetooth connection, if the cleaning was accurate if you have left out areas and which.
In addition, you are ringing your smartphone to the dentist; you can view the points together to be cleaned more accurately and in-depth. The battery is lithium-ion, for longer life, and in the package is also a convenient travel kit to always carry your toothbrush.

Oral-B SmartSeries
The first toothbrush born with Bluetooth technology, able to control the level of dental arch cleaning in real-time and display the values on your smartphone, through the dedicated app of Braun. It is also possible to view the type of cleaning with your dentist, in order to contact the areas of the mouth that need more cleaning.
On the smartphone are also displayed the levels of pressure on the teeth during the wash to prevent a high pressure damaging the gums, and the time required to move from one arch to the next, so as not to leave out any space in the mouth.
Inside the package, there is a small digital monitor where you can set the timer required for the minimum time of the total cleaning of the teeth. In addition to the usual 3D technology, the 7000 SmartSeries toothbrush, provides numerous functions, the sensitive teeth function, the whitening, and thorough cleaning thanks to the four heads in the package. Also included is a travel box, to always carry the toothbrush with you.
