I have never had an electric toothbrush and I'd really like to get one. I have an incredibly small mouth and my dental hygienist has even nicely recommended using a children's toothbrush. How big is the brush head on the Oral B?

Also, I really like the Triumph features but if you can use the different brushheads I would prefer buying a less expensive version without the many features.

Thanks!

ROTADENT electric brushes have two different heads, one is circular and another has a narrow tip for between braces and tight corners. I really like it.

I have them both. I like the electric one since it seems to clean me better, but I also use the regular one. Depends on my "mood" in that moment and time of day (if it's night I don't like the electric one to make noise)
