Electric Toothbrush - For Maximum Cleanse

An electric toothbrush uses electric power to move the brush-head and offers you maximum cleanse. It normally operates in an oscillating pattern. These toothbrushes are often called 'rotary' toothbrushes. Although the first generation of this superb gadget was conceived in 1880 and reliably sold in 1939 (in Switzerland), it took almost 3 decades for the invention to garner popularity.

Broxodent, Widely used in USA in the sixties was a rotating electric toothbrush introduced by Squibb Pharmaceutical at the centennial of the American Dental Association in 1960. These were initially created for the purpose of patients with limited motor skills as well as patients having orthodontic problems like those with braces. These are more effective than the manual toothbrushes, as it left less room for patients to brush incorrectly. These toothbrushes remove more plaque than manual brushing, due to their combination of pulsation (in-and-out movement) and oscillation. The built-in power sensor present in this tooth brush is a helpful feature that stops bristle movement if you're brushing too hard. There's also a two-minute timer with a 30-second beep to signal you to clean another area.

The electronic compartments present in most of the electronic toothbrushes are completely sealed to prevent any damage due to contact of water. There are no metal contacts available with this tooth cleaning device. These toothbrushes charge with inductive charging technique. These electric toothbrushes use replaceable batteries, disposable or rechargeable, storing them in the bottom, generally thicker than a normal manual toothbrush. According the research results most electric toothbrushes are more effective than the manual variety. The exception is due to the "rotation-oscillation"-models, including many of the electrical brushes in Braun's Oral B-series. According to the research, the way the brushing is performed is of a higher importance than the choice of brush.

Electric toothbrushes have become increasingly cheap with the passage of time. However, they are not as cheap because of the high retail cost of the disposable brush heads.
