Alright, here it is, the top of the Oral B electric toothbrush company versus the top of the Philips Sonicare toothbrush company. One of the top toothbrushes on the market today is the Oral B Triumph 9900 toothbrush with smart guide. But, one of the all time most popular brushes is the Sonicare Flexcare toothbrush. This got me to thinking, which of these brushes is more beneficial to your oral health?

The Oral B Triumph 9900 toothbrush with smart guide comes with all the necessary features to truly gain a dentist quality cleaning. With a combined 48,000 pulsations per minute, plaque is virtually eliminated and teeth become exceptionally clean. Add in a wireless LCD screen that provides users with a pressure sensor, a digitally displayed timer, and a reminder to replace your brush head when it wears down to a sub-standard level.

As for the Sonicare Flexcare toothbrush, its purchasing factor comes from the add-on feature it has. A built in UV Sanitizer helps destroy over 99% of the bacteria living on the brush which can cause many health related problems. Sonicare also incorporates its sonic care technology to deliver 31,000 pulsations per minute to its toothbrush. The electric toothbrush even has a feature in which it will slowly increase its power over the first 14 uses in order to accommodate those with sensitive gums and teeth.

As for which is more beneficial for your oral health, its got to be the Oral B Triumph 9900 toothbrush with smart guide. The UV Sanitizer incorporated with the Sonicare Flexcare toothbrush is a great and highly effective feature. Honestly, I recommend that everyone has a UV sanitizer in their bathroom as it destroys any of the bacteria on your toothbrush. However, the Sonicare Flexcare has a bunch of other useless features that really detract from its capabilities. Whereas the Oral B Triumph 9900 allows users to benefit from each additional feature to really help gain a clean mouth and healthier gums. Although I didn’t use any dye after using each to determine which got my teeth cleaner, I could definitely feel and see how much cleaner and whiter they were with the Triumph 9900.

Both toothbrushes do an exceptional job at improving oral health, however, it is clear that the Oral B Triumph 9900 toothbrush with Smart Guide provides a more beneficial addition to your oral health routine over the Sonicare Flexcare toothbrush.

Oral B Triumph FlossAction Power Toothbrush Refills

The Oral B 9450 floss action head is said to be up to 90% as effective as flossing. Remember, you should still floss everyday because that 10% effectiveness the brush lacks can be the potential cause of dental problems.

Many studies have shown that users who use Oral B Professional Care series toothbrushes regularly consistently have better gum health, fewer dental problems, and less plaque. I’d have to believe it is due to the 40,000 pulsations and 8,800 oscillations which is rarely seen on other brands of electric toothbrushes and most closely resembles the dentists tools.

As for the Oral B 9450, it’s features are top of the line, as one would come to expect from Oral B:

Smart Technology for perfect pressure and brush time Brilliant Results™ Oral B Floss Action Technology™ – Helps remove plaque like no other! Customized brushing gives you Superior Whitening & Polishing in 28 days, Healthy Gums, and soft cleaning for those with sensitive teeth Alerts user when to replace brush head with Oral B Refills Remove TWICE as much plaque as Sonicare Elite

This toothbrush really delivers, as do most Oral B toothbrushes (such as the Oral B 9400). If you haven’t yet experienced one of these toothbrushes, I suggest you try one out as most of them come with a 90 day guarantee.

Why should you try an Oral B Triumph out?

Well, give it a few months and then go to the dentist. You’re more then likely to see an overall improvement in your oral hygiene with only a few months of use. I certainly did. Before I started using electric toothbrushes in general, I was suffering from excessive plaque on my teeth. Once I switched to an Oral B toothbrush, accompanied with a floss routine, I saw dramatic improvements.
