Difference between Manual and Electric Toothbrush

Manual and electronic toothbrushes all serve the same primary purpose: cleaning your teeth. However, they differ in their operation, convenience, and features. 

Is a manual toothbrush sufficient?

While manual toothbrushes can be effective, they often struggle to reach between teeth, around back teeth, and other challenging areas of the mouth. Consequently, plaque accumulates over time, leading to issues like tartar buildup, decay, and other dental problems.

What makes electric toothbrushes superior?

Electric toothbrushes, particularly those inspired by dental tools, feature round brush heads that adapt to each tooth, enabling deep cleaning between teeth. They employ superior technology: pulsating to loosen plaque and then oscillating and rotating to sweep it away. The Broosh Electric Toothbrushes can deliver up to 48,800 movements per minute, significantly more than the 300 to 600 movements per minute of a regular manual toothbrush. Clinically proven, this advanced technology removes 100% more plaque than a manual toothbrush.

Moreover, electric toothbrushes come with a two-minute timer, guiding users through a comprehensive brushing routine to ensure all areas of the mouth are cleaned thoroughly. They also offer various cleaning modes, allowing users to personalize their cleaning experience and achieve specific brushing goals.

Electronic Toothbrush:

  1. Operation: Electronic toothbrushes (also called electric toothbrushes) have a rechargeable battery and typically use sonic or oscillating technology. They offer automatic, rapid bristle motions, which can be highly effective in removing plaque and stains.
  2. Convenience: They are rechargeable and usually come with features like timers and pressure sensors to ensure proper brushing time and technique. Some models even connect to smartphone apps to track brushing habits.
  3. Control: Many electronic toothbrushes offer multiple brushing modes (e.g., sensitive, gum care, deep clean) and adjustable intensity levels. This customization can be helpful for people with specific dental needs.
