Sonic Technology
Sonic toothbrushes use high-frequency vibrations to remove plaque and bacteria from teeth. The vibrations loosen plaque and bacteria, which are then swept away by the bristles of the toothbrush. Sonic toothbrushes are more effective at removing plaque than manual toothbrushes, and they can also help to prevent gum disease.
Features
In addition to sonic technology, many new toothbrushes also come with a variety of features that can help to improve oral hygiene. These features include:
- Timers: Timers can help to ensure that you brush for the recommended two minutes.
- Pressure sensors: Pressure sensors can help to prevent you from brushing too hard, which can damage your gums.
- Position sensors: Position sensors can help to ensure that you brush all areas of your mouth thoroughly.
- Bluetooth connectivity: Some toothbrushes can connect to your smartphone via Bluetooth, so you can track your brushing habits and receive feedback on how to improve your oral hygiene.
Benefits
The new generation of toothbrushes offers a number of benefits over traditional manual toothbrushes. These benefits include:
- More effective plaque removal: Sonic toothbrushes are more effective at removing plaque than manual toothbrushes. This can help to prevent gum disease and tooth decay.
