Oral-B vs Sonicare 2024

[@t3cube]

this guy should be a data analyst. very well put together!

[@ElectricTeeth]

Thank you for the kind words

[@BrianW1612]

Personally having used both, I find the sonic brushes get between the spaces in your teeth far more effectively. The oscillating action of the oral-b misses the smaller gaps.

[@nicklleees1571]

Like floss ;)

[@BrianW1612]

@nicklleees1571 If I can get my teeth cleaner without flossing I rather would though personally. The sonic brushes definitely offer a more effective clean for me.

[@justinkase1360]

@@BrianW1612 One needs to floss. I use a waterpik most of the time, but standard floss picks weekly.

[@BrianW1612]

@justinkase1360 I still floss of course.

[@jonfreeman9682]

The thing I don't like about oral B brush head is the gears inside builds up gunk and mold which is disgusting. You have to clean and replace frequently.

[@leonprez231]

I have both. I can tell you for a fact the sonicare is much much better. In every single way

[@BrianW1612]

As someone who owns both & used Oral-b for many years, I 100% agree.

[@pranavdixit6157]

As someone who owns both and has used Oral B for over 12 years, I think I agree

What makes you guys say that?

[@fsociety.dat101]

I also have both. I'd love to know why you came to this conclusion.

[@ashresearcher]

Exactly the video i was looking for. This topic was a challenge for a while

[@ElectricTeeth]

I do hope it helped.

[@ccbcco]

Oral B brushead has a slot or hole in it that lets in schmutz and gunk that coats the drive shaft and mold up as you brush over time.

[@jonfreeman9682]

This is the thing I don't like about oral B. The brush head has gears inside that builds up toothpaste and mold. So you have to rinse and replace the head frequently. I'm amazed mold can grow on toothpaste as it's supposed to be antibacterial. 🤯

[@VnukDarvina]

Thank you for the sounds comparison, what the work! 🙌🏻

[@nohandle-01]

Thank you. Settling on one has been doing my head in today! I just got the SC 3100 in the UK so many thanks. Sadly I’m not expecting this one to be as good as the old Sonicare I have which has just died on me after 5 years but hopefully not too dissimilar.

[@smilebot484]

i suspect oral b has a better more agressive marketing because they seem to be the most recommended but end users appear to typically prefer philips. i would love to see a disclosure on this video. who is paying the piper?

[@ElectricTeeth]

Hey. Neither brand is paying the piper in this instance. This is one of the things that makes our channel unique. We've not received a single £/$ in money from the big brands to create our content.

My hygienist say get an electric tooth brush. Your data had truly HELP for my first Sonicare

[@ElectricTeeth]

I am really pleased to read we could help you. I hope you are happy with your decision.

[@Ocean2753]

​@@ElectricTeethI buy the oral-b io6 ,it work really well, but it get a lot of black mold inside de gear ,and I washed every single day,I am been disappointed.

[@TheKeithvidz]

Really as a commentator says - be an analyst. Unequivocal honest and professional. Its December and both are $39 on Amazon discount - leading towards sonic 4100 for soft bristle which i have manual toothbrushes. Aquasonic Black Series Ultra Whitening Toothbrush has sales of 116.000 so i wish to have a look at it too.

[@-_______________________.___]

Sonicare brushes a little better but is less reliable than the Oral-B. It’s like comparing a BMW with a Lexus. A BMW performs better on the track and has a better interior but the Lexus just lasts forever and costs less to maintain.

[@Oerger89]

Im a sufferer or gum recession and lately i've kept noticing that frontal top teeth keeps building up plaque just at the gumlines and the sonicare never managed to remove it unless i angled the bristles and jammed them in. According to my dentist's followups it was most probably made recession worse. Oral B had no issues what so ever.. Also there is some inevitable buildup on sonicare connection point that makes the toothbrush more noisy and become less vibrating..i dont have needled that are narrow enough to reach all the way. Just a headsup that sonicare might be a future hassle for you

[@jasonericf]

Similar to me. I switched to sonic but my dentist said I've got more gum recession. Prescribed me stronger toothpaste and recommended I switch back to oral B

[@HugoMachine]

Wow, finally some clarifications about the huge amount of models! Thanks

[@ElectricTeeth]

Glad it was helpful!

[@afroditta6950]

All my Phillips SC seems to die in less than a year due to battery, I had plenty of them in the past 10 years. Just switched to Oral B and I definitely feel like it cleans better. Can't talk about their longevity yet.

[@uranium5694]

Having used a "regular" Oral B and a Sonicare, Sonicare is what I preferred in the end for the more gentle brushing they offer compared to Oral B. Oral B feels very aggressive during the time I used it where the Cross action brush head irritated my gums during the first 5 or so uses. This is clearly not the case with Sonicare where both me and my gums enjoyed it much more and I basically have no complains for the brushing and cleaning sensation of a Sonicare toothbrush. But then Oral B releases the io and since I have never used one I need to ask out of curiosity : Is the Oral B io more gentle with brushing to the point that it will remind me the brushing of a Sonicare or the io is as aggressive in brushing like a "regular" Oral B is ?

[@ElectricTeeth]

It's less aggressive than a 'regular' Oral-B, but doesn't feel like a Sonicare. Based on what you say, I'd stick to Sonicare.

[@uranium5694]

@@ElectricTeeth Thank you for replying I will continue using my Sonicare but I am always curious to try new toothbrushes !

[@justinkase1360]

Oral B IO has replaceable batteries, at least some of them. That is a HUGE difference. Also, as you said, it cleans better but is noisier. Also, there are 3rd party replacement heads now, so the head cost is about the same between all toothbrushes.

[@jonfreeman9682]

I had a replaceable battery model and it leaked and inside rusts. If you get the ones with sealed battery they last a long time. Mine has lasted a decade though admittedly it doesn't hold a charge much anymore.

[@justinkase1360]

@@jonfreeman9682 I purchased an IO unit, hopefully it lasts.

[@sakataslays]

3:15 Whereabouts would you place the Oral-B IO Series 2?

[@ElectricTeeth]

The iO2 is comparable to the Sonicare 2100 or 3100 Series.

[@barood3]

one time you said I prefer oral b and now you prefer prestige ?

[@ElectricTeeth]

I prefer each brand in different categories for different things.

[@justinkase1360]

Overall, he prefers Oral B. IF discussing only the top end models from each brand, he prefers the Prestige.

[@1alazydaisy]

I have a small mouth and have found my oral b to not in between top and bottom all the way, so I use my manual to cover that area. Would the Phillips do better here?

[@ElectricTeeth]

I don't think Sonicare would be much better here. Have you tried closing your mouth bit as you brush. As odd as that might sound, it can sometimes help.

[@AdaAybekOrhan]

Hello I'm going to purchase an oral b brush and I'm in between getting a genius x or io5 but I can't decide which one would you prefer

[@ElectricTeeth]

There isn't an easy answer here. iO5 is the 'nicer' brush all things considered. But brush heads are generally 2x the cost of those for the Genius X. The Genius X would likely work out cheaper. But, forced to choose, I would go with the iO5.

[@MrGpapa1]

Hi there. Could you advise which would be the best purchase between the Sonicare 9000 diamond clean and the new Sonicare 7100, both are currently available for a similar price and the 7100 is a much more recent model with some newer tech. Thanks 👍🏼

[@ElectricTeeth]

Hey. I'd pick the 7100. There isn't much between them to be honest. They both clean the teeth comparably. Full review of the 7100 will be on our channel in the coming weeks. Just finishing up our testing of it.

[@krazes]

@@ElectricTeeth Where's the full review?

[@kha2029]

Can you review the new oclean x ultra s? I'm planning to buy but I don't know if it will fit me or not. Thanks!

[@ElectricTeeth]

On it. Recently finished testing & writing up my findings. Going to be recording the video soon. **SPOILER ALERT** If you want a toothbrush that is more capable than most but you don’t want to spend more than you have to, the Oclean X Ultra S is a very good option. I know I am going to be recommending this brush a lot.

[@beramaks]

Thank you so much. You have made my life easier

[@ElectricTeeth]

Glad you found our video useful.

[@borislavtodorov6191]

I have both prestige and iq 10. Both are great. I notice prestige has a longer battery life and nice case but on the other side iq10 is beautiful in white and cleaning i think is better cos you apply a bit more pressure. The only thing in iq10 i feel is the thickness of the head or may be i didn’t use with that. I had prestige for more a year and iq 10 for just 2 days. May be cos of more pressure iq 10 can be more painful for some with sensitive tooth but mine is zircon all over and I don’t feel any pain. Witch one to consider best I don’t know yet but sonicare cleans more gentle i think. Iq10 has an advantage that lightning sensor is in top and you can see it very easy. Iq 10 cleans more aggressive in think i set on intensive + and i feel a lot of aggressive clean yes cleans perfectly but feel itchy on gums. Any way the standard daily clean is more than enough. But when tou see dentist for cleaning tooth stone you feel also a itchy gum. Iq cleans a lot better but for someone may be is too much. I like the way it looks iq10 in white but honestly if i have to keep only one i will stay with prestige cos its feel more luxurious and long battery life. Which Cleans Better? • If you want aggressive plaque removal and a dentist-like clean, the Oral-B iO Series 10 is likely the better choice. • If you prioritize gentle, effective cleaning for sensitive teeth and gums, the Sonicare Prestige 9900 is a better fit. share.icloud.com/photos/02eLNzNTLwEUcThLBQFLYhECg That’s my thoughts. But anyway the video is great😊 One more thing I forgot. The button on prestige is very well made i had several sonicare and always had a problem with the button actually this is not a button but works as it. This brush will last in future. Iq 10 is rubber and will get dirt easily and will fade in future. You have to very well maintain the brush but on prestige you dont have this problem all is smooth and no edges and wholes to get dirt. Thats it from my side.

[@leonprez231]

Hi there. You going to review the laifen wave toothbrush anytime soon ?

[@ElectricTeeth]

Hey. Yes. We have it and are running our tests as we speak. It will be a few weeks before we have a review online. 👍

[@patrickgruis2228]

I can buy the sonicare 7100 for 180 euro, or the sonicare 9400 for 165 euro. Is it true that the 7100 has newer technology, or is it better to buy the 9400 instead?

[@ElectricTeeth]

The 7100 is newer, but there isn't any big difference in cleaning experience. The 9400 has the better app experience with real-time tracking. If you want the smart features, I would go with the 9400.

[@2qwik4u]

Sonicare all day

[@MrBl31]

I thinking to buy the prestige sonicare, is it a good time or wait for newer version soon ?

[@ElectricTeeth]

Not aware of a new version arriving, but I don't have any insider info. So I would say now is as good as ever.

[@MrBl31]

@@ElectricTeeth unfortunately only international amazon who sells Sonicare prestige 9900 for 420$ , while IO 10 is 360$, i thought it is the opposite, i was excited fot thr 9900 prestige one 💔

[@peterk1991canada]

It’s literally not hard. Go get a cheap oral B and a sonicare one and you’ll see sonicare cleans your teeth to the point you came out of from the dentists chair.

[@ssslayer]

Doing so everyday = enamel abrasion and wear out?

[@stevenhocking6407]

Until philips starts putting sensitive modes on their models, and especially their cheaper models, oral-b will always win. And they need to make their sensitive mode a lot more gentle

[@jazzcat969]

SNOWFLAKE 😂

[@AsaSas-q9m]

You melt in the sun :)))

[@jonfreeman9682]

That have sensitive mode. But I think their very cheapest model may be one setting only. The el cheapo one I use has only one setting but I'm upgrading to a mid priced model. For $60 you can get a 3 setting model.

[@leonardmartin6048]

My Sonicare broke so fast. My Oral B is way better.

[@smurfeco2.358]

My oral b just went out I started using it on the 30th bought 29th of Sept. I had the io5 it only lasted about two weeks when I just got stuck in the strongest mode . I can't change modes . I'm trying to warranty it . Might give it a second chance but idk yet

[@jonfreeman9682]

Oral B is good but the brush heads keep getting clogged up so you have to replace frequently.
