How do electric and manual toothbrushes differ?

Electric toothbrushes clean more thoroughly in a way that manual toothbrushes cannot.

Electric toothbrushes are recommended by most dental professionals to help improve oral health because they are proven to be more effective in removing plaque compared to a manual toothbrush.

Our Sonic technology is backed by more than 175 clinical and laboratory studies at over 50 universities and research institutions worldwide.

These results, along with personal experience, make Philips Sonicare the #1 recommended sonic toothbrush brand by dental professionals worldwide.

Our patented sonic technology drives unique bristle tip velocity - the movement of the brush head in your mouth - through a combination of high frequency and high amplitude motion. This motion creates dynamic cleaning action that drives fluids deep into the tight spaces between your teeth and along the gum line, which results in a cleaner, healthier mouth.
