Review on Bluetooth-Enabled Sakura Pink Oral-B Genius 8000 Electric Toothbrush by Chris Murphy

I've used regular toothbrushes all my life, but on the recommendation of my new dentist I've been looking at an electric toothbrush. I asked my dentist if she had any recommendations, but she basically said that any electric toothbrush would probably be better than a manual toothbrush, but that she personally uses a Sonicare toothbrush that is several years old. With that in mind I went down the rabbit hole when I searched online. I wanted something with a pressure sensor. I enjoy lifting heavy objects at the gym and have a penchant for strong arms for everything including brushing my teeth, which appears to have contributed to gum erosion. The current top model Sonicare (DiamondClean Platinum) has no pressure sensor. However, the FlexCare Platinum Connected comes with a pressure transducer. Oral-B models from 1000 have a pressure sensor. Because of the price, I decided to compare the Sonicare FlexCare Platinum Connected to Oral-B's current top-of-the-line model, the Genius Pro 8000. First I asked two dentist friends what they prefer. A friend highly recommended the Sonicare FlexCare+ and says the top models are no better. Another made a similar recommendation to my dentist - both would be a huge improvement over a manual brush. So for now, a slight bias towards Sonicare. Very little because there were no details on why Sonicare is better. Just a "trust me, get it" consent. I then looked for research comparing rotating (Oral-B) and oscillating (Sonicare) electric earpieces. I won't post links to all of the scientific studies I've read, but there are some on the National Center for Biotechnology Information website (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov). On later models, rotary nozzles are preferred. Article Oral-B. Then I compared the specs - Pressure Sensor: Oral-B has visual and tactile feedback (flashing light and pulsing motor). Sonicare only gives tactile feedback (the handle vibrates). Beats/strokes per minute: Oral-B (48,800 strokes/min), Sonicare (31,000 strokes/min, 62,000 strokes/min) Associated App: Both apps have a shape to help you brush all areas of your mouth evenly: Oral -B has 5 available brush heads and comes with 3 (Cross Action, Whitening and Sensitive brush heads), Sonicare has 5 available brush heads and comes with 2 (AdaptiveClean, InterCare) Battery life: Sonicare claims up to 2 weeks, Oral-B claims up to up to 12 days. Thereafter, Point Oral-BI examined subjective factors. I was particularly interested in the comparison of noise levels. I've been watching videos on Youtube and there's no doubt that the Sonicare has a nicer buzzing sound compared to the more mechanical sound of the Oral-B.Point Sonicare. I thought about the convenience of traveling as I travel a lot. Both come with travel bags. Oral-B is a nicer black case. The Oral-B is made by Braun and the travel charger uses the same type of connector as my Braun Series 9.Point Oral-B. costs finally. Oral-B is around 50 euros cheaper, including all currently valid discounts and manufacturer coupons. Oral-B tips are also cheaper. Article Oral-B. So I bought Oral-B. I've been using this app and while it has some inconveniences, it's great to be able to track my cleaning habits. I'm still a techie. Floss and mouthwash reminders are on by default, but you can turn them off. Includes a suction cup mount to hold your phone to the bathroom mirror. I also love that you can set the app to automatically order replacement nibs through Revain when the nib you are using is running low. I found the general noise more than bearable, but there is usually music playing in my house regardless of the hour. The big question, of course, is how well does he brush his teeth? Very well seen! My teeth are visibly whiter after using just the standard crucifix tip for 1 week. Eventually I will try the whitening head in line with the in-app whitening program. The brush head has visible movement, unlike the Sonicare which has more movement but less movement and only linear movement. I am very happy with my purchase. If you don't mind the sound of the Oral-B, this is the best brush out there right now.
