You'll be glad
to know the Sonicare toothbrush has been clinically
proven superior to manual brushes in reducing
plaque and gum irritation around orthodontic
appliances.
It's Sonicare's
dynamic cleaning action that makes brushing
with braces so easy. Its combination of high-speed
and dynamic cleaning action generates a powerful,
yet gentle cleaning force. This unique brushing
action directs fluid deep between teeth, below
the gumline and around brackets for a more effective
clean.
No question Sonicare
is ideal for orthodontic patients.
Suffer from dry mouth or Sjogren's syndrome?
You'll be glad to know the
Sonicare toothbrush stimulates saliva, which
helps to prevent infection and tooth decay.
Do you have dental implants?
The advanced cleaning action
of the Sonicare toothbrush gets around posts
and gums, and was shown in laboratory studies
to be safe on restorations/crowns, cement, enamel
and cementum.
Clinical Study
by Sonicare
Sonicare
Elite vs. Sonicare Advance vs. Braun Oral-B 3D Excel
Both Sonicare toothbrushes
were found to be safe and effective in removal of
supragingival plaque (plaque above the gums). In
hard to reach areas, the Sonicare Elite was found
to remove significantly more plaque than the Sonicare
Advance. In the interproxmial spaces (between the
teeth), Sonicare Elite removed 20% more plaque than
Sonicare Advance tooth brush.
Both brushes were
found to be safe on soft tissue and effective in
removal of supragingival plaque. Sonicare Elite
was found to remove significantly more plaque than
a manual toothbrush.
Sonicare Elite
toothbrush was shown to reduce biofilm thickness
beyond the bristles. Sonicare Elite removed significantly
more dental plaque biofilm 2-3 mm beyond the bristles
than the Braun Oral-B 3D.
Sonicare Elite
tooth brush was found to be gentle on dentin, and
4 times gentler than Braun Oral-B 3D Excel.
