Hello Everyone.

Having been in my braces for almost a year now I've come to the decision that I really need to invest in a decent electric toothbrush. I've been managing with a cheapy Oral B Sonic Vitality but I really could do with something a bit more effective.

I'm looking at a either an Oral B Sonic Complete or a SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM Sonicare (my ortho recommended a sonic brush). Does anyone out there have any strong feelings about either of these? Or can you recommend something even better??

Thanks for your help!

I didn't get on with the Sonicare. My teeth started to look very dirty and stained (I do drink a lot of tea and coffee). I also found the brush head difficult to manoevre around my teeth which were quite crowded back then.

In the end I went back to my old Vitality and within a few days my teeth had un-stained. The Oral-B brush heads are small and I find this suits me better. I've got a small mouth and a small head is just easier for me to get round all the nooks and crannies.

There are other members here though who swear by the Sonicare and the Oral-B Triumph. I guess in the end it just comes down to personal preference.

Get a Rota-Dent!!! Costly but worth every penny! I've had mine since my first day in braces and I can't imagine life without it... it's the best. I charge it once a week (overnight) and I'm good to go. The special brushes with a long tip get in between the wires and teeth. I once went a couple of days without it (on vacation) and it took forever trying to brush food out of my braces that the Rota-Dent could have taken care of in a few seconds.
