Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 4100 Electric Rechargeable Toothbrush, Plaque Control, Black

Product Information

But the technique is different for the different technologies too. The correct way to use an Oral-B toothbrush is different to a Sonicare. So, whilst the studies may suggest Oral-B is better, if someone used a Sonicare with the correct technique, compared to an Oral-B user with the incorrect technique, the Sonicare would likely perform better for that user. The 4100 Series does provide the best overall cleaning experience, as I explain in the section below. Its brush motor has been tuned for a more satisfying clean. At the same time, the brush head replacement light will flash, although this is nigh on impossible to actually see. Sonicare brushes are comparable in performance and features, but Oral-B models like the Pro 3 3500 tend to be more affordable while still offering the key brushing capabilities that impact dental health. The way the cleaning is done will have different sensations in the mouth. This will influence your decision on the best brush for you.

The 1100 comes with either 1 x Simply Clean or 1 x S Sensitive brush head compared to the 1 x ProResutls of the 2100. With the 5100 and 6100 the brush handles have an extra button below the power button to change the cleaning modes, but also the names of the modes, complete with an LED below that.As it stands, although the 1100 is based on the retail price the cheapest. In reality, the average discount on the 2100 Series is higher, making the average selling price lower than the 1100. No travel case is provided, which is a bit of a shame. There is a 4900 Series variant that comes with one, but it isn’t worth paying much more for. The timer and pacer help you to brush for the right amount of time Triple tone of high-med-low means the EasyStart feature has been deactivated. The battery level light indicator will also blink amber 1 time to confirm deactivation. Within the Sonicare range are a number of sub-categories or series into which particular models fit. If you are considering the DiamondClean Series, it really is the DiamondClean Smart 9500 that is the stand out option to go for, if you are prepared to pay for it.

If your toothbrush is 4 years old you likely have the ProtectiveClean 4100 which is a different model, the predecessor to the 4100 Series.Perfecting your brushing routine, including the brushing time, technique and frequency will bring more positive benefit than any particular toothbrush. As far as I am aware the 3x, 5x, 7x plaque removal is related more to studies about the brush heads, but the brush handles will/do have some bearing.
