It's 2023 – and you’re still using a manual toothbrush? Why?

It’s a known fact that brushing your teeth twice a day for at least 2 minutes is crucial for maintaining oral health. However, studies have shown that manual brushing does not effectively clean all surfaces of your teeth, including hard-to-reach spots and corners. Also, with a manual toothbrush, you can produce a maximum of 300 strokes per minute which is not adequate cleaning power. Hence with almost all oral health professionals unanimously agreeing that electric and sonic toothbrushes are better than regular toothbrushes, manual toothbrushes are slowly becoming a thing of the past.

Okay now that we’ve convinced you, the next debate is – sonic toothbrush or electric toothbrush?

Regular electric toothbrushes have rotating heads that can spin at a rate of about 2,500 to 7,500 strokes per minute. Better than the 300 strokes a minute of a manual toothbrush for sure. But wait for this - sonic toothbrushes vibrate at a frequency between a whopping 24,000-33,000 strokes per minute! Because sonic toothbrushes vibrate at around 10 times the rate of an electric toothbrush, a two-minute brushing session with a sonic toothbrush will give you unmatched cleaning power.

If that wasn’t enough - another amazing benefit that a sonic toothbrush provides is “fluid dynamics”. Because of the much higher brushing vibrations, sonic toothbrushes agitate the fluids in the mouth (water, saliva, and toothpaste), effectively turning them into cleaning agents referred to as “microbubbles” that reach into gaps between the teeth that the brush can’t access and wash out the bacteria. Thus, sonic toothbrushes are much more effective at removing plaque.

In a six-month study that compared the effectiveness of sonic toothbrushes and electric toothbrushes, the sonic toothbrush proved significantly more successful at removing plaque, reducing gingivitis, and improving tooth and gum health.

Other than cleaning efficiency, sonic toothbrushes tend to have a better battery life than electric toothbrushes and are also significantly quieter than the loud, buzzing electric toothbrushes.

Finally convinced that a sonic toothbrush is the way to go? Look no further - with vibrations ranging between 24,000-33,000 strokes a minute, 3 smart modes, IPx8 waterproof, 2 minute timer and 30 second quad pacer technology, built-in tongue cleaner, less than 60dB noise levels and a 60 DAY BATTERY LIFE, the Seven SuperBrush is the only toothbrush you’ll ever need!
