Thank you and happy chatting!
My brother is a dentist who did a stint doing research. He explained that there is a huge improvement going from a regular tooth brush to an electric toothbrush and that everyone should be using an electric toothbrush. The other interesting fact that there is no difference between a cheap 7 dollar electric tooth brush that uses AA batteries and a top of the line 250 dollar sonicare. I use an Oral-B electric toothbrush and generic heads from the internet and it works great.
I've been using the same electric toothbrush since at least like 2014 and just buying those replacement heads
battery's weak but it hardly matters, it only needs to last a couple minutes. it absolutely feels like it does a better job than my ass, to the point where on vacation when I don't have it I brush extra hard to compensate
i'm pretty sure you can replace those battery in the rechargable ones if you wanted, it's not reccommended but doable
Oh I probably will if it ever fully dies. I've had the bottom cap off with only minor destruction. but it looked like too much work for a preemptive fix
do you use the electric brush with double aa batteries or rechargable?
I use this one with the AA https://oralb.com/en-us/products/toothbrushes/battery-toothbrushes/deep-clean-battery-toothbrush/

And the replacement generic heads https://www.amazon.com/Sensitive-Replacement-Toothbrush-Compatible-Crisscross/dp/B0BNPZB6MY
I had a rechargeable one for a while and I lost it lol
it's only a matter of time until the newer models have a "find my toothbrush" feature, you were born too soon i'm afraid
thanks , i was looking at the oral b pro 100 (double aa batteries) but just brought the oral b pro 300(rechargable) - i know you said there is no difference, but do you recall from where you read that said the expensive ones are no different from the basics?
Unfortunately not, I will ask him because I think it is worth while to see what the studies are. The more expensive one for sure won't be worse though and may have other features that make it more comfortable to use or convenient aside from improving its ability to clean teeth. I think the point is really if you are of limited means don't avoid buying an electric one because you can't afford the 400 dollar sonicare.
