Delivery
Brown delivers a comprehensive package. Besides the obligatory charging station and the handpiece, which now has six different cleaning programs are the package a digital display, called SmartGuide, a wall mount for the SmartGuide, three TRIZONE essays and two essays in Interspace. Moreover, there is not only a travel case for the handpiece, but also a traveling bag for the charging station. It also contains a storage container for 4 attachments which can be mounted directly onto the charging station, which we however not use - we prefer a vertical drying the essays in the air.
Cleaning
The advantage of TriZone is that I can just use as a manual toothbrush. After charging it is turned on, selected and cleaned the corresponding program. Here, the relatively thick handpiece fits comfortably in your hand. The strong vibration of the device while brushing your teeth, I feel uncomfortable, as well as the loud rattling with activated toothbrush, what I have now but used to.
The longer bristles on the oscillating brush upper range of TRIZONE essay clean especially my interdental spaces in which like form deposits, and the posterior molars very good. The edges, transitions from tooth to gum and difficult areas are well cleaned and discoloration removed because the brush can reach all surfaces. Dental plaque can be reliably removed and massaged the gumline pleasant without gingival bleeding occurs, even after prolonged brushing than the recommended 2 minutes.
Compared to my old TriZone the behavior of the Pressure sensor has changed. In this model, not only the built-in handpiece LED lights up red, but the program is switched during normal cleaning modes independently in the Sensitive mode until the pressure is reduced - then the originally selected program continues. I think that the protection of the gums really useful, especially when young children use the toothbrush.
Various cleaning modes
The TriZone 7000 has six different programs. The first two modes (cleaning and deep cleaning) differ only in the brushing time - here are based on 2 or 3 minutes in each jaw quadrant 30 or 45 sec. is cleaned long. Sensitive cleans teeth a little more gently, while whitening teeth lt Manufacturer polished and naturally lightens -. Here is to use occasional fall. In addition, special programs for gum massage and for tongue cleaning. Frankly, I use almost exclusively the normal cleaning program.
SmartGuide
At first I did the SmartGuide a bit ridiculed, but now I find it very convenient because I now see exactly how long I actually brush teeth. I do not use the toothbrush, it shows me the current time. Once the handpiece is removed from the charging station, it connects via Bluetooth with SmartGuide. If I switch the toothbrush a begins the time to run and the SmartGuide shows which quadrant should be cleaned. At the same time the display shows the program used can be seen, and as soon as the Pressure sensor triggers, a message appears. I place after cleaning the handpiece back to the charging station, is rated my cleaning time by up to five stars that are visible until the next cleaning the display. Lt. Manufacturer principle it is possible to connect multiple handpieces with this SmartGuide, over which we do not have.
Bluetooth 4.0
As a note is in the instructions that the BT Brown uses 4 standard, to which, however, does not hold any smartphone maker, which means there may be compatibility problems. Anticipated - to me it was not possible to connect to a smart phone or my iPod Touch, with the touch probably not yet has BT 4.0. A Samsung Galaxy Trend Plus shows despite BT 4.0 during the installation an error message. My Huawei smartphone is also equipped with BT 4.0, although installed without comment, then does not find, however, the toothbrush. The app itself can be used manually of course, but I have the time to stop then manually. It points me to the exchange of papers back and fed me while brushing with the latest news.
Others
There are now 6 different end brush for cleaning teeth that fit on this handpiece. In addition, the Interspace attachment is specifically to be used for the interdental spaces with the handpiece. Four of these essays I have now tried and switch to every now and then and see. Ultimately, everyone must decide individually which essay he preferred. In any case, I have with this handpiece an exceptionally wide range, for everyone in the model should be there.
Conclusion
The Oral-B TriZone convinced as before by their results. Communication via Bluetooth 4.0 could be improved. Whether you really need this comprehensive equipment, everyone must decide for themselves. The SmartGuide is quite handy, especially to lead to smaller children when brushing your teeth, but I do not really need him. My teeth feel after cleaning really clean and my dentist had been nothing wrong. Recommended!
