Electric toothbrushes: rather rotary or sonic technology?

• Small round head : the rotating toothbrush has a small circular brush head. Thanks to its compact size, you easily reach hard-to-reach areas of your mouth such as molars. In addition, its shape is designed to completely encompass each tooth up to the edge of the gum, thus providing deep cleaning.
  
• Rotating toothbrush head : Combining high rotation speed and rapid pulsations, rotating system toothbrushes effectively remove plaque. How it works ? The vibrations emitted detach it and the rotating bristles sweep it away.
  
• Precise brushing : thanks to the rounded shape of its head, it brushes each tooth individually. It thus offers a complete and thorough cleaning, eliminating the remains of food which may be stuck between the teeth. 

However, although powerful and effective, according to an internal study of 3,588 MyVariations customers in 2023, 91% of respondents consider sonic brushing to be less aggressive and more comfortable than their previously used manual or rotary toothbrush, especially those having sensitive gums , prone to bleeding , or suffering from gingival recession (rolling back of the gums). 🤕

Reminder regarding the hardness of toothbrush bristles:

According to the UFSBD (French Union for Oral Health) there is a greater probability of developing these dental problems if you choose a toothbrush with medium or hard bristles . Indeed, the latter are considered too abrasive for the gums and teeth and greatly increase the risk of enamel wear as well as inflammation or gingival micro-lesions, especially if you have sensitive gums. 🩸
So, if you decide to opt for a rotating toothbrush, just be sure to choose heads with soft bristles as recommended by dentists, regardless of the type of toothbrush used.

• Elongated head : Sonic toothbrushes feature an elongated, oval brush head, resembling the head of a manual toothbrush. Thus cleaning a large dental surface. 

• Vibrating toothbrush head : sonic technology performs tens of thousands of movements per minute of brushing. The bristles vibrate at such a speed that they thoroughly remove plaque from the entire surface of the tooth to the edge of the gum. The result ? Thanks to the additional dental plaque removed compared to a manual toothbrush, you have the feeling of leaving the dentist's office after each brushing, and you find healthier gums. 🥊

• Gentle brushing : the sonic toothbrush helps reduce or avoid concerns about inflammation or gum recession. It also preserves dental enamel.
  
• Ease of use : as with a manual toothbrush, you simply move the brush from one tooth to another for perfect oral hygiene. Also, sonic brushes can be used by everyone, regardless of their oral health.

- If you press a little too hard on the surface of your teeth, or continue to perform manual brushing movements with the same intensity when using a sonic brush, this may reduce the effectiveness of sonic brushing. It is therefore important to carefully follow the instructions for use and apply the correct brushing method . If you have the slightest doubt, go to your great dentist! 👩‍⚕️

- Sonic toothbrushes require a little adaptation time which varies depending on the person, to get used to the vibrations. Indeed, during the first uses, it is completely normal to feel a tickling sensation that is sometimes significant or unpleasant during the first brushings (this sensation may vary depending on the person). It may be surprising and confusing at first, but that's simply because your mouth is not yet used to the vibrations of the brush.
This sensation diminishes until it disappears over time with brushing, and the mouth needs 5 to 7 days at a rate of 2 brushings per day to get completely used to it, sometimes more (up to 15 days depending on the person), but these tickling will always end up not bothering you at all! 😉
