Since electric toothbrushes can widely range in effectiveness, it can be difficult to decide if you should use a manual toothbrush or an electric one. Depending on your individual situation, your dentist may recommend a certain brand of electric toothbrush – like Sonicare vs. Oral-B, to name a couple. Oral-B (and similar brands) typically use a smaller toothbrush head that makes it easier for you to clean those hard-to-reach places. On the other hand, however, the size can also help you to maneuver around orthodontics like appliances or braces. Whereas, a Sonicare toothbrush uses unique sonic vibration (hence the name) to effectively attack bacteria buildup around your teeth.
Your dentist will likely have different recommendations depending on your oral health and history. If you have trouble brushing your teeth, using an electric toothbrush may be easier for you. While you shouldn’t brush for any less than 2 minutes, the quick vibration does lot of the “brushing” work for you – often making the process more efficient than manual brushing.
