TEETHEORY Electric Toothbrush With Holder & Heads

After one month use, I am very satisfied with function. Compare too brand name it is budget item come with extra 9 head and I did not see any work different between ORAL or PHILIPHS. Even after one or two year after it stop working, you not worry, because of price.

I’ve never bought into the hype of “electric toothbrushes,” but I thought I would give this relatively-cheap one I saw discounted on Amazon a shot. Mainly because it came with 10 replacement heads and if the batteries ever went kaput, I could just use it as a normal, albeit bulky, toothbrush. After using it every day over the last month, I have to say that I have rather mixed feelings about this rechargeable toothbrush (words I thought I would never say).

First, the positives, and there are some to be found here. The battery life, in my experience, has actually been fairly good. Though, that could likely be attributed to how low-tech this tech toothbrush actually is (we’ll get to that later.) The brush is lightweight as well, allowing you to maneuver it easily. The three vibrating modes do work and offer some variation for you to test and see which you like best. The brush also has an internal timer that briefly stops the vibration every 30 seconds, ultimately shutting off after 2 minutes. I personally found this to be annoying at first, but now kind of like knowing how long I’ve been targeting a specific area for. And finally, yes, you could use this as a “manual” toothbrush if your forgot to charge the battery. Keep in mind that the bristles are incredibly soft, so if you like your normal toothbrushes with some tensile strength, this one might not be for you.

Now for the “bad,” or mediocre I guess I should say. The Teetheory toothbrush is little more than a vibrating wand with a brush attachment affixed to it. The bristles don’t move, sweep, rotate, or oscillate like a more premium electric toothbrush would, so leave that fantasy behind now. Yes, the bristles do technically move, but that’s just because of the vibrating motor that your brush head is on. The bristle movements are incredibly fine and gentle, to the point that you question if it’s really doing any good at all. In terms of cleaning power, this is probably far from dentist-recommended.

Also, if you have sensitive teeth, I wouldn’t recommend this toothbrush. The vibration is all along the top portion of the brush, so if you even graze your teeth, you’ll get a rather uncomfortable sensation. I personally don’t have very sensitive teeth, but every time I’ve used this brush, I make the mistake of touching my teeth with the plastic, non-brush portion and it doesn’t feel pleasant.

Now, with a product like this, you have to take into account the price you’re paying, which is significantly less than that of a premium electric toothbrush. I’m aware of and totally understand that. But judging this product on merit alone, I can’t really say that I would wholeheartedly recommend it. Does it clean your teeth well enough? Yeah. Does it do it so well that I’ll never use a normal toothbrush again? Not really. If you’re truly gung-ho about dental care, would suggest spending the extra cash for a premium electric toothbrush. Specifically, one of the electric toothbrushes that actually spins. If you absolutely must have an electric toothbrush for cheap and you don’t really mind it being low-tech, this will do you just fine, I suppose. As for myself, I will continue to use this brush for the foreseeable future, and hope to see if the reviews others have posted about the brush not working after a few charges are anomalies or something everyone should expect.

Very good $. Brushes well. Very light. Gets teeth clean and shiny. So far Very impressed.
