Oral-B vs Sonicare 2024

[@t3cube]

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

[@ElectricTeeth]

Thank you for the kind words

[@VnukDarvina]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@ashresearcher]

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

[@ElectricTeeth]

I do hope it helped.

[@SandraJones-vm4fb]

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.

[@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

[@jiroh8123]

What makes you guys say that?

[@fsociety.dat101]

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

[@beramaks]

Thank you so much. You have made my life easier

[@ElectricTeeth]

Glad you found our video useful.

[@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.

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

[@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 !

[@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. The most we have gotten is a sample of each brush, and the instances of this are low. We buy most of them ourselves. Here's links to our information pages that explain more.

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. 🤯

[@Rehunauris]

​@@jonfreeman9682Peoples mouths have all kinda bacteria and many people store their toothbrushes in damp places.

[@NitaM12]

Just found this video and it was super helpful! Thank you.

[@ElectricTeeth]

Glad it was helpful!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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. 👍

[@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.

[@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.

[@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 💔

[@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.

[@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?
