Curaprox Pro Electric Toothbrush With Charger

I’ve used Sonicare for many years and thought it was the best – until I tried Curaprox. This toothbrush outperforms Phillips and leaves my teeth cleaner with less effort. The head shape is more effective at reaching every area of my mouth with is a huge plus. Highly recommended.

Ich bin absolut begeistert und habe die Zahnbürste in der Familie schon 4 x weiter empfohlen und alle sind begeistert, weil die Zähne viel sauberer werden, aber das Zahnfleisch viel mehr geschont wird. Ich liebe sie und hoffe, sie hält sehr lange. Mit dem kleinen schmalen Bürstenkopf (nennt sich “Single”) bekommt man sogar Verfärbungen zwischen den Zähnen weg, wofür ich sonst zur professionellen Zahnreinigung musste, absolut toll!

I think my teeth were never so clean. Super easy to use. Love the sensitive brush, very good for the sensitive teeth and gums. Batery life is long.

Fundamentally, it’s quite similar to the Philips sonicare. It has 3 frequencies. Frequency 2 and 3 have 3 amplitudes each. Frequency 1 has just 1 amplitude, the low amplitude. Amplitudes are low, medium, and high. The main thing compared to the sonicare is better fit and finish. The handle is matte, and has two flat sides and two rounded sides, so its easier to grip compared to the smoother, round sonicare. The curaprox is more minimalistic designed, so it looks better but takes a bit of intution or reading of the manual, for how to change the power settings. The 30 second timer is a musical fifth interval with the brushes vibrations.

The bigger improvements over the sonicare are the brush head shape, brush material, angled brush head, and handle being easier to grip. The curaprox frequencies seem to go higher than the sonicare, but maybe I’m not using it correctly. Its the one labelled with 3 labelled modes, but it’s not a smart one I think. It has 2011 on the bottom of the body. On my teeth, the curaprox pro brush head gets tooth to tooth cleaning better, and in between teeth easier, and the back of mouth too. It feels ‘gentler’ than the Philips because the brush shape and head shape fits each tooth better. The outside bristles are raised, and those get interdental surfaces, but not all the way between teeth that floss does.

Compared to the curaprox manual, they both have their own uses. It’s easier for me to get in very deep interdental spaces with the curaprox manual, so I will still use that. But I do like it more than the Sonicare. Not a lot of reviews on this product, but I had good experiences with their extra soft and velvet and succulus manual brushes compared to Oral B and Colgate.

It’s pretty expensive though, so try a sonicare or try a curaprox manual, and see if you like it. The electric bristle size is slightly slightly coarser than their extra softer bristle diameter.

5 years of warranty, and excellent performance. Good battery life as well! Definitely top notch piece of equipment (pay once, and never buy another toothbrush again – well maybe in 5 years of time)

Tempted by the report that the Curaprox was quieter than the Philips Sonicare I remembered from years ago I bought one. I agree it is quieter than I remembered although I am not sure *any* ultrasonic toothbrush is ever going to be “quiet.” However I find it tolerable as long as I don’t let the hard parts of the brush head touch my teeth.

It is easy to hold, position, and generally manipulate to get the job done. It’s light and comfortable. It seems to go together tightly so I don’t think the interface will gunk up over the (fairly short) lifetime of each tip installation. It feels very effective and leaves my teeth feeling pristine. I’ve been using the Peach toothpaste. I’d rate it as a very high quality item.

However… to my astonishment — after years of using Oral-B products of various smartness — the quadrant timer does not pause and then continue if you switch the handpiece off for a moment. It restarts the entire two-minute sequence from zero. At first I was merely surprised and disappointed by this, but it is gradually becoming an irritation. Whether it causes me to abandon the Curaprox altogether and go back to Oral-B remains to be seen.

I accept that what bothers me might not bother anyone else so I knocked a single star off the rating of what I found to be an item of high quality overall.
