Nice, but not outstanding

The sonic toothbrush from Oral-B has now been extensively tested by me. My interest, not least on professional was very large, I'm prophylaxis assistant in a dental office. Likewise, my expectations, because the manufacturer promises a lot:
For a brighter teeth. Such statements should always remain a bit skeptical. It should be regarded more as a confidence trick, because the actual
Tooth color can change by brushing never. For this one needs to have proper measures Bleaching (whitening the teeth with hydrogen peroxide)
Only discolorations or deposits by nicotine or Kaffegenuss can be removed, so that the actual tooth color reappears - which in severe discoloration, from my practice experience, but no toothbrush (no sonic toothbrush) creates. Rather, as lured by the patient's wish for gleaming white teeth.

Now for the cleaning sensation. The sonic toothbrush comes very close through the elongated brush head and the narrow handle a manual toothbrush and is perceived as entry level certainly pleasant. However, for me are just the advantages in small round brush head of the commercial "standard" electric toothbrush, as you so well hard to reach places like the whiteness of teeth or the inside of the lower posteriors achieved very good. Patients with a strong gag, the one can tamper just the morning, are certainly grateful for a small brush head.
The sonic toothbrush makes swinging movements that can occur initially a bit strange. This gives, however, after a short familiarization period. I myself for years already with the brush Oral B 5000 DLX - round, rotating brush head with a very high number of revolutions. Nevertheless, I was open to the "new" sound technology. After sufficient testing I could not whiter / cleaner teeth, smoother surfaces, yet find time savings - for me important criteria.
Especially since the equipment is not really lush fails. The set includes two handpieces, but only one charging station. What I think is not much brings as family members simply can use, color-coded brush heads, which, for example, at the Oral B 5000 DLX in a nice charger with 4 compartments (with one stone protected) can be stored. When Pulsonicladegerät only two Aufsteckstationen are provided without cap. A travel case is also not included. So how do you transported without brushing his toothbrush like the whole culture bag? Similarly, only two brush heads in the set are included, which I think is very tight for two handpieces. Again, this is in the Oral B 5000 DLX different. A whole range of choices such. B sensitive or bright Brush brush is included there.
The "promises" also are always on the comparison with conventional manual toothbrushes.
This may be, but you should generally interested in an electric toothbrush, outweigh the benefits of a toothbrush with a round brush head. Also clean the rotating / oscillating movements, in my opinion, more effective than vibrating bristles.
But this is not due to the manufacturer Braun, the leader in the field of electric toothbrushes is indisputable, but generally at sonic toothbrushes. I tested namely already the sonic toothbrush from another manufacturer (Philips), which was not any better or worse, with the Philips brush heads are outrageously expensive.

The price of the brush is the sonic toothbrush from Braun just about 10 Euro (2 pcs) as the brush for the other electric toothbrushes from Braun.

Conclusion: Application, flush feeling and price are nice, but not outstanding. Design and bundled accessories functional but no longer.
