A beautiful smile is great! Are you already using an electric toothbrush? If not, then it's time to buy. We ranked the best models of electric toothbrushes in year.
Choosing the right brush: what to look for
First of all, let's talk about how to properly approach the issue of choice. And a little lower we will make a small rating of the most interesting models.
So, no matter what brand of product you decide to buy, take a look at this:
Power supply
Electric brushes can work from the accumulator or the simple AA or AAA battery. The former are much more expensive, but the acquisition of the latter is only an apparent saving. Each battery costs money, and you will have to change them quite often.
Type of movement of the working head
The cheapest brushes use 1-D technology. This means that the nozzle can only move in a circle and in one direction. The reviews of the owners of such accessories tell us that such brushes are not much more effective than ordinary ones.
It is better to choose the model that has at least two directions of movement (2-D). The ability to perform reciprocating movements significantly improves the operation of the device.
The best electric toothbrush is made with 3-D vibro technology. That is, she not only “walks” back and forth, but also knows how to pulsate. This allows you to most effectively remove pigment and bacterial plaque.
Number of operating modes
Even the cheapest electric toothbrush will have at least one mode: “everyday use”. By and large, this is enough. But if you are willing to overpay for options, you will be interested in such modes:
- deep cleansing;
- gum care;
- whitening;
- cleansing the tongue;
- program for especially sensitive teeth.
The best electric toothbrushes have all of these modes and more. True, and it all costs a lot more.

Interchangeable nozzles
As a rule, budget models have only one nozzle. An additional set of others can be purchased separately based on the number of desired functions or the number of family members. It is good to purchase cleaning “heads” that are already marked in various ways, for example, with multi-colored rings. Otherwise, in order for households not to confuse their “head” with a stranger, they will have to be marked on their own.
Control systems
Best electric toothbrushes years equipped with built-in sensors to control the process.Some models are able to track the clamping force of the working “head”. This helps prevent excessive abrasion of tooth enamel. Others offer a special timer in the kit, showing exactly how much to clean a particular area.
Types of brushes
Depending on the design of the mechanism that drives the bristles in motion, the electric brush can be of three types:
- with the usual mechanical principle of operation;
- sound;
- ultrasound.
Each has both its advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, before purchasing a particular model, you should still get a dentist's consultation.

Electromechanical brushes
In such accessories, the bristles move by means of a miniature electric motor. The device actually imitates the usual manual cleaning, only in a very accelerated mode. The closest to "manual" brushes in 2-D technology.
Such devices effectively clean plaque, practically do not affect fillings and greatly reduce the time allocated for cleaning. Of the disadvantages, the following can be noted:
- can not be used for exacerbation of gum disease, since the risk of injury in this case is many times higher;
- if used improperly, enamel damage may be observed;
- not recommended for those who have caries at least in the first stage (white spots on the teeth).
To help you make a choice, we have compiled TOP 3 popular toothbrushes of the year.
Oral-B Genius 9000 Black
Genius 9000 deservedly takes 1st place in our ranking. If the price is not so much important to you as the technical content, be sure to look at this toothbrush. Genius 9000 Black is literally "stuffed" with a variety of features. True, it costs about 150-220 US dollars. The set contains as many as 4 nozzles for all family members. In addition, there is a nozzle for polishing. With its help, you can significantly whiten tooth enamel.
Other benefits:
- 6 operating modes;
- pressure level sensor (if you press on the brush, the signal will work too much);
- uptime - 48 minutes;
- There is a function of gum massage;
- travel case; case for storing nozzles;
- timer;
A little spoil the mood can only the lack of a function such as "addiction", as well as the very high cost of the device.

Oral-B Vitality Precision Clean
The Oral-B trademark is one of the recognized leaders in the production of this type of product. In almost every well-known rating, the instruments of this company occupy a leading position. The Vitality – Precision – Clean model is one of the simplest, but nonetheless the most effective. This is just the case when there is nothing superfluous.
Benefits:
- battery power (operating time - 20 minutes, full charge - 16 hours);
- there is an indicator of wear of the bristles;
The negative aspects include the presence of only one operating mode, the absence of all sorts of “gadgets” and “bells and whistles”. This very high-quality and simple model has become one of the leaders in 2017, just due to its simplicity and accessibility. The cost in retail outlets ranges from 25 to 40 $.
Panasonic EW-DS90-K Compact
If you travel often and want to enjoy all the advantages of electric brushes on the road, you can not do without this model. Just one AAA battery is enough and the device will make about 16 thousand movements per minute. You do not need either an outlet or recharging; you can use the Panasonic EW-DS90-K Compact even in a deep forest. The cleaning head has 3 types of bristles and at the same time provides quality cleaning, gum massage and plaque removal. Now attention! The price of the device is only $ 18–20! For that kind of money, he simply has no shortcomings.
Sonic electric toothbrush
Such accessories are arranged a little differently. Inside the case is a small sound generator. He forces the bristles to move at a frequency of about 20-30 thousand repetitions per minute.In addition, the dynamic fluid flow generated by the villi effectively removes even the smallest food particles from the gaps between the teeth and the gingival sulcus.
Such models perfectly cope with hard-to-reach places from the oral cavity, remove pigmented plaque and completely do not affect the safety of fillings and crowns. However, you need to use such a device correctly. You can’t put pressure on the brush, stay in one place for more than 1-2 seconds, apply pastes with a high degree of abrasion.
CS Medica CS-262
The first one in our rating is one of the budget models in this category. The cost of this brush is only $ 25–28, which is partly due to the fact that instead of expensive batteries, simple batteries are used here. On the one hand, you have to spend money on “consumables”. On the other hand, thanks to this, the brush weighs three times lighter than its counterparts. If you are in a hurry, the battery can be replaced with one movement of the hand, but the battery will charge for several hours.
Among other pleasant moments, one can note the following:
- two nozzles;
- whitening mode;
- excellent build quality;
- battery life - 150 hours;
- weight is only 45 gr.
Fans of a large number of nozzles and modes will be a little upset. You better pay attention to another option.

Remington SFT-100 Sonicfresh
This model has as many as three modes:
- standard cleaning;
- sparing;
- gum massage.
The work uses pulsed technology with a ripple speed of about 31 thousand revolutions per minute. There is also a built-in timer that controls the process. The signal reminds of the need to change the location of the cleaning head, and also notifies the end of the procedure.
This very nice device is equipped with a cover for storage, convenient and easy to use. The only unpleasant moment may be the cost of the device - about $ 65. Not everyone can afford a toothbrush for that kind of money.
Hapica Minus – iON
And this model costs only about 25–27 evergreen units. But she did not get into our rating therefore. The first thing that distinguishes Hapica Minus – iON is the highest build quality. This is not surprising, because meticulous Japanese collect a brush. There is absolutely nothing superfluous. But an interesting point is present: the device can be successfully used even without the use of toothpaste. Of course, at home this may seem unnecessary or a little unusual, but for travelers it is.
In addition, working without interruption from just two ordinary Hapica Minus – iON batteries will last as long as 5 hours. And interchangeable nozzles cost quite reasonable money.
Ultrasonic Toothbrush Models
Now let's talk about how one of the new products works - an ultrasonic toothbrush. In the middle of such a device is a special generator. It converts electric current to an ultrasonic wave. In this case, the frequency of movement (oscillation) of the bristles increases to 100 million, and the amplitude decreases. It may seem that the bristles do not move at all.
The ultrasonic wave is transmitted to plaque. Due to the difference in physical properties, this effect is not the same. This leads to the fact that plaque and microorganisms simply come off the enamel. Thus, ultrasonic toothbrushes clean the oral cavity qualitatively, destroy microorganisms, and effectively affect soft and hard deposits. The procedure time is minimal.
There is one more positive quality. Ultrasound slightly warms up the fluid in the oral cavity, and this contributes to better penetration of the components of the cleaning paste into the tooth tissue.
But all the advantages can instantly turn into flaws. Ultrasonic devices adversely affect untreated teeth, destroy fillings and veneers, and can cause exacerbation of gum disease. In addition, such toothbrushes are contraindicated for pregnant women and those who have a pacemaker.
In general, only people with absolutely healthy teeth can use this miracle of technology.And we present to your attention the best ultrasonic models according to user reviews.
Emmi-dent 6 Professional
This is one of the most effective and solid models. The maximum speed of the bristles is more than 80 million pulsations. One of the highest results among competitors! True, this is practically all that this model can please. Emmi-dent 6 does not have any other “bells and whistles”.
Included is a case and two additional nozzles. And thanks for that.
And the price is poor. For more than $ 210, the equipment could have been bigger. But this does not stop buyers, because such a quality of toothbrushing still needs to be sought.

This brush creates such soft vibrations that it is suitable for people even with very sensitive gums. This is a 2-in-1 brush: there are 31 thousand sound vibrations and more than 95 million pulses of ultrasound. It works on a regular battery, and for quite some time. Bacteria do not accumulate on the bristles, so the bristles do not need to be further cleaned in ultraviolet light. Very effective against tartar and old plaque. And the price is much more attractive than the previous model, about 155 "green" units.
