Out of 108 electric toothbrushes on the market, why did Xiaolu pick a cheap one?

Are you sure you can brush your teeth twice a day?

Are you sure you brush for a full two minutes every time?

Are you sure you can reach every nook and corner when you brush?

Xiaolu can't.

Getting up every morning is a struggle,

and brushing while bleary-eyed is pretty half-hearted.

It feels about done, so the battle ends there.

Last year a wisdom tooth came in and my teeth hurt every day.

The dentist took one look and said I definitely wasn't brushing properly,

and apart from the wisdom tooth, tartar and plaque bacteria were blooming everywhere.

During the cleaning there was blood all over my mouth,

it hurt so much tears came out, and I regretted my past self.

The Bass brushing method is the healthiest way to brush,

but it demands a lot of skill and time.

In the spirit of letting technology save the lazy,

Xiaolu gritted her teeth and paid the "lazy tax" on an electric toothbrush.

The biggest feeling is that it "saves more effort and is more efficient than a regular toothbrush."

Just turn on the power and put it in your mouth,

and it cleans far better than brushing yourself.

It can also promote blood circulation,

effectively massaging the gum tissue.

Many people think the gum massage function

looks like a gimmick and pretty useless.

Actually, it is useful.

A Japanese housewife said her little daughter kept biting her nails,

and the pediatrician suggested she switch her daughter to an electric toothbrush,

as this can stimulate and massage the gums.

After the switch, the child's nail-biting habit really improved quite a bit.

Elderly people generally have more teeth problems,

but when brushing, their fine hand movements decline,

so it's easy not to brush cleanly and develop even more problems.

Treating them is very troublesome given their overall physical condition.

Brushing with an electric toothbrush is much more efficient,

and can effectively reduce periodontal disease.

However, elderly people may also be "unused to it, not adapted to it."

One method is

to wait until the elderly person has used it once, then tell them the price...

and patiently guide them in detail,

and they will gradually accept it.

With so many electric toothbrushes on the market, how do you know which type suits you?

Some people want good cleaning results,

some people want something easy and gentle.

The market generally considers Braun the representative of the "rotary" type,

with good cleaning results,

but slightly more wear on the teeth.

Another type is the "sonic vibration" type.

Represented by Philips,

it suits sensitive teeth and healthy teeth.

Fox once wrote "The Inexplicably Impressive Selling Points of Electric Toothbrushes,"

sonic type doesn't mean sound waves can amazingly clean teeth,

but that the vibration frequency reaches the sonic frequency,

so all electric toothbrushes on the market are sonic toothbrushes.

Still, indeed in users' eyes,

the impression has formed that "Philips is gentler."

Recently Xiaolu saw that "portable" types are newly popular in Japan,

and was instantly won over.

For example, this Panasonic DS19,

it's as big as a pen, more suitable for carrying when out.

For example, people who are used to brushing after meals,

people who need to clean their braces at any time during orthodontics,

and people who don't like electric toothbrushes with cords.

It only needs one battery to work.

To use it, you just give the toothbrush a gentle twist.

The brush head is relatively small,

so it can reach every nook and corner.

The downside is that the handle is a bit short.

The price is around 190.

For electric toothbrushes from various brands, what should you pay attention to before buying?

Xiaolu sorted out the pros and cons of different brands and models.

Mainstream brands include Philips, Braun, Panasonic and the more controversial Foreo.

Domestic brands include Soocas, Usmile, Roman and Oralshark.

Philips Sonicare HX9 series,

first let's introduce Philips' diamond brush head.

The brush head is relatively small,

so even the back teeth are easy to reach.

Although the bristles look relatively stiff,

the friction is gentle.

It won't irritate the gums.

The cleaning power is very strong.

This brush head can only be paired with the Philips 9 series.

The brush head unit price is high, so the ongoing investment will be relatively large.

The larger the number after 9, the stronger the tech feel,

but the basic cleaning function is the same.

The looks are very nice!

The ceramic handle also feels great in the hand.

Wireless charging with a toothbrush cup is one of its highlights.

But a girl said that charging it this way,

her toothbrush was scrapped just after one full year,

while her mother charged it with the included charging case and had no problems.

Although Philips will replace it free within one year if it breaks,

breaking just after one year is really heartbreaking...

The price is around 1200,

with a relatively large brand premium.

Philips 6730

The 9 series has polishing and gum protection functions more than the 6 series,

but the price is only one third of the 9 series.

(Though the looks are also only one third...)

The vibration feels a bit stronger than the 9 series,

and it may take a few days to get used to.

If your teeth are especially sensitive,

I'd still recommend going for the 9 series.

Braun P2000

Braun uses a round rotary brush head,

which cleans smoke stains, tea stains and coffee stains relatively well,

but for sensitive people it may damage the oral cavity.

The brush head is relatively thick,

so when Xiaolu brushed the back teeth she had to open her mouth very wide,

but for men it may be a bit better.

This model's body has a pressure reminder,

and if the pressure is too great it lights up red and automatically slows down.

Its tech feel is a bit weaker than a Philips at the same price.

For orthodontic teeth, although it can clean the braces very well, ⟥115⟧it will do some harm to the teeth.

But it can cause some damage to the teeth.

Xiaolu thinks that if people with healthy teeth just want to brush their teeth clean,

this model is enough.

More high-end models than this one are only stronger in tech feel,

and the basic functions are all the same.

The same goes for Philips.

Price 399.

The electric toothbrush mentioned earlier is a recommendation,

while this Foreo toothbrush is a warning to help everyone avoid a pitfall.

At the time, it was all the rage on WeChat Moments,

and its silicone brush head looked so full of tech appeal.

Xiaolu thought it was some kind of black technology,

and was once ready to buy one.

But it turned out it is only suitable for people whose teeth are so sensitive they cannot use a toothbrush.

The bristles are so thick

that they simply cannot brush the teeth clean.

But if your teeth are especially, especially sensitive,

this one is still not bad for massaging the gums...

Soocas X3 upgraded version,

the brush head is relatively small,

some people find it flexible and convenient,

but some people feel the contours are not sufficient.

The bristles deform relatively easily.

But the brushing feel is good.

The vibration frequency is a bit weaker than Philips,

but the cleaning ability is enough for daily use.

The appearance is very attractive,

and many people say it is a budget alternative to the Philips 6 series.

If you want to get started with an electric toothbrush, this one is very suitable.

The price is around 260.

Usmile

A little internet celebrity that has caused quite a few stirs on Weibo and Xiaohongshu.

Its cut-style shape is very eye-catching,

and one charge can last four or five months.

The vibration feels relatively gentle, and brushing is very comfortable.

But the cleaning effect is not very strong.

Some friends have reported that this toothbrush has a relatively high failure rate,

and the charging port very easily fails to charge.

Although it claims replacement only, no repair, within one year,

after-sales service often ignores people.

So whether it is popular because it is good or because the marketing is strong,

Xiaolu can no longer tell.

Oralshark G1

Some people say that when using this toothbrush to brush teeth,

if you press too hard, it feels like it cannot move against the friction.

Gently place the toothbrush on the teeth,

and the vibration will be more sufficient.

Its cleaning power is great.

It can be charged via USB,

which is more convenient when traveling.

However, the bristles are not very durable.

Roman T3

This one is Xiaolu's starter toothbrush,

and its vibration frequency is greater than other electric toothbrushes.

The first time Xiaolu squeezed toothpaste onto it,

when it was turned on, the toothpaste was directly vibrated off...

So afterward, the toothbrush was put into the mouth first before turning on the power.

One thing I really like about it is that different modes have different vibration frequencies,

so there is no pressure using it when the teeth are sensitive.

But the brush head is somewhat large, so brushing the back teeth takes a bit more effort.

The price is only 170,

and it comes with eight brush heads.

It has all the functions it should have.

Rather than buying the entry-level model of a big-brand toothbrush, it is better to try this one.

Overall,

most domestic toothbrushes at present

are only budget alternatives to Philips and Braun.

There are some minor innovations in appearance, function and materials,

but perhaps Xiaolu's knowledge is limited,

and breakthrough innovations are very few.
