"Just pick any you will be good" This relieved my anxiety about which one. Thank you!!
I’m glad 😌😌😌
Thanks a lot for the detailed comparison backed with scientific studies, Loved it.
Hey thankyouuu..glad you found it useful ☺️☺️
Awesome video!! Info packed and great animations to understand the working of the toothbrushes Absolutely loved it
Glad you found it useful Fehmeen 😊😊
Loved the overview of scientific papers on the matter, thank you for that :)
Glad you liked it 😎😎
Really good video because I like how you showed research papers for each of the 3 general conclusions. Rather than just depending on your credentials. Also, I agree that you would have a hard time messing up choosing one or the other and it’s really down to preference and what you will be using often. I guess technique and frequency of brushing plays a larger role in oral hygiene than fancy Bluetooth connectivity. With proper technique you’d do really well with a simple, old manual toothbrush with all the technological improvements we take for granted in those ubiquitous dental implements. Lastly, I like how you went right to the topic being discussed.
Thankyouuu so much for your feedback.. means alot 🫶🏼
Bhaiya can you suggest me a better circular rotation toothbrush of oral b so many options??
Perfect, this is exactly what I was looking for. I'm using a dirt cheap Watsons oscillating brush (MYR 35, about 600 rupees) and was wondering about the Realme N1 at the same price. Like you, I feel like the oscillating one would work better since, well, the oscillating bristles physically move further (~2mm?) than the vibrating bristles (~1mm? less?). But at this price I suppose I could just try it. Good to know that the science is split on this, didn't know they even did studies on this lol. Anyway. Thanks for the video.
Hi Michael, thank you for sharing your experiences.We don't get Watsons brushes here in India. 😅 Realme N1 is a very good starter toothbrush. Very convenient too because of having a nice design and usb C charging at such an affordable pricing ! ☺️
I have both and prefer the round oscillating one to use with non-foamy fluoride toothpaste like Parodontax. I have both the rechargeable Oral B Vitality, an older more expensive Oral B Pro and the 2 batteries operated Oral B All of them works the same way.. so the only thing you need is different heads. I personally prefer the battery operated. The oscillating ones are best for teeth at the back and yes they do feel super clean afterwards. I switch between normal toothbrushes and Oral B and can confirm that Oral B feels 500% cleaner so go ahesd buy the cheapest but get variety of replacement heads
Thankyou for sharing your perspective Sukh 🤗 quite interesting !
Great exactly what I was looking for
Glad to hear that Abhishek ☺️
I don't think I've seen a better video on the subject so far.
Shukriyaaaa 🙌🏼
Great informative video 👍🏼which one is better for people with filling done and people with crown for RCT. Sonic or rotational one? Plz do a video on that
Hey Karthika..thankyou..well I have recommended this brushes to people with crowns and RCT and they have had no problems at all..you can opt for sonic ones and start with the sensitive mode and gradually using other faster modes on it !
@@AribDeshmukh Thank you so much for your suggestion 👍🏼. Keep up your good work going.
Thankyouu..anytime for anything related to oral health 😌
I have been into this certain e-toothbrush, the Oclean Flow. Could you please make a review about it?
Hey Serene..I doubt it’s available in India..I’ll check still 😅
Hello! Thank you very much for your educative videos. Could you please give an advice for electronic toothbrush for someone with gum recession. I bought Oral B 3 d ( Pro 1), few days ago, but now I see lots of dentists recommand sonic tooth brushes or even manual ones for recession, so I am a bit concerned to do more damage to my gums with Oral b tooth brush.
Hey..first of all for your recession, you need to get it checked with your dentist as to what level of recession are you facing. Oral b ones are great too, continue using it and visit your dentist from time to time if you actually see the recession worsening or not !
Thank you very much for your advice!
Thanks for the information, doctor. Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it! 👍🏼🙌🏼
Hello Respected Sir, Today I have completed my root canal treatment on my front incisors , due to an fracture, but I haven't applied a crown yet. Can you advise me on whether I can use an electric toothbrush? If yes, which one would you recommend: Sonic or Oral-B? Your quick response to this concern would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Ofcourse you can Vipin Infact it will take better care for the your crown 👍🏼👍🏼 go for sonic !
Awesome explanation and guidance
Shukriyaaaa 🦾
Hello Doc, what are your thoughts on water flossers and can you suggest some good ones. Thanks!
Hi Sameera..I have already made a video on them : kzhead.info/sun/oamlirJ9h6KflIU/bejne.html 🤗
Thank you for the informative video Doc!
Glad it was helpful! 🫡
Great information. Thank you
Glad it was helpful! 🙌🏼
Thanks a lot doc for explaining one question pls reply I am a oral lichen planus patient and till now I have used only manual brush. Which one I should buy budget crunch is also there max 2k..in another video you mentioned real me M1 is best..please suggest which one I should buy....
Hi Ankit.. Hope you undergoing treatment for your Oral Lichen Planus.. It would be great if you can wait till end of august as I’m testing and reviewing very nice toothbrushes under ₹2000
Great videography!
Shukriyaaaa 🤗😎
Hi i just wanna ask that Is it okay to use an electric toothbrush if i have filling in 2 of my teeth. If yes then which one sonic or rotating?
Ofcourse it is..better for you fillings too as they get properly maintained then ✌🏻
Sir have few crowns and couple of unaligned tooths. I'm going for electric toothbrush first time, which one do you personally prefer Oral b or sonic one? Please advise.
Hmmm go for the sonic ones..as they have different modes which can help you better initially in cleaning your teeth with crowns too !!
@@AribDeshmukh Thanks lot doctor!
Anytime for anything related to oral health 🤗
@@AribDeshmukh Hi doctor, thanks for the swift response, as you advised I'm planning to go for sonic one, confused between Agaro and Real M1, since you tested both, could you please suggest best and suitable one as per my above tooth health condition?
@@AribDeshmukh Hi Doctor, any suggestions for the above question please?
Hello sir I purchased oral B pro 5000 few years back and used for few months .issue with that model was lots of pressure on teeth because of vibration due to rotation effect even after very low setting.now I m planing to buy for my kids.I m bit confused again should I go for rotation or sonic one.my kids are 12 and 7 age.Also pls suggest me a good brand according to your answer.
Hey Anurag.. For the 12 year old..go for the sonic ones ..around the 600-700 range ( MI T100, Realme N1 or Caresmith Spark ! For the 7 year old go for Oral B ones with different designs like Frozen, Star Wars and Frozen one and so on !
Sir if I plan for real me M1 sonic.Can I use it for my both kids.
Ofcourse the kids won’t have a problem.. but do you plan to use one single toothbrush for both of them ?
@@AribDeshmukh sir I m planing one handle with 2 upper brush.And if product is good I can take for both separately.
Sounds like a great plan 😎
Hello i am looking for a good electric brush because I have pyrrhia my budget is 1300 can you suggest me a good one?
Hey you need to first your dentist to get that treated….once you do that.. this will help you in better maintenance 🙌🏼
Nice review. Welldone
Thank youuu 🤗😌
Hello Doc is Beatxp e-Toothbrushes are good ? they available at cheap prices so thtsy asking are these even worth buying ?
Hey Anmol..haven’t tried personally so can’t connect much on them but they seem to look okay !
@@AribDeshmukh ty
💯💯
Which of the two has gentle (soft) bristles which comes with the box ? I tried searching for replacement soft brush heads of both these brands but in vain. Also, any verdict on the Colgate 500r ? Since that comes with gentle bristles I’m trying to consider it.
The soft bristles are easily available on Realme’s website if that’s what you want. Colgate 500r looks great. It’s double the cost of 250r !!!
I have 3 fillings I recently ordered the realme m1 will it suite my teeths cz of 3 fillings or should i go for oral b ones?
It will suit you..start with the sensitive mode on it ✌🏻
Thanks for such an informative video! I have a query- Which electronic toothbrush is good for braces? Thanks in advance!
Glad you liked it 😌 There’s nothing like electric brushes specially for Braces ! Infact an important use of any electric toothbrush is to help clean better for people with braces ☺️
@@AribDeshmukh Thank you! Will buy one soon 😄
@@heyyyyyworld Awesome...let me know which one you end up buying though :) 😀
I have an Oral B brush that looks like the one in your review. Mine was fine when new but after a few years the mechanism became rattly and the battery life diminished worse than an old iphone. I have a more expensive Oral B brush too with charging lights which lasted much longer but I think they don't represent good value for money. It would be really helpful if manufacturers of rechargable devices were forced to allow customers to replace the batteries once they are beyond their peak. It is utterly shameful that we throw away so many rechargeable items just because the batteries die. As more and more items become cordless we are going to end up with a mountain of devices that only have a problem with the battery.
which one would u recomend for teeth with braces?
For braces I would suggest the sonic ones as they option for sensitive mode incase the frequency is too much for braces !!
Sir what electric tooth brush should i use if my gum line receded already due to hard brushing ?
A sonic one would be great 👍🏼
I have 2 fillings. Can they loosen the fillings. Also i have one implant in front will it have any negative impact?
Hi Vineet..you have Composite fillings in the front ? Great for implants actually 😌
@@AribDeshmukh one in wisdom, one in molar next to wisdom(this one broke 1\4 while biting carrot 🥕 but pulp was not exposed so didn't go for rct just filling) but a big filling. Implant in the front adjoining k9.( Result of a gym accident 😒 )
Not a problem at all your for your fillings..will Infact help in keeping it clean..one thing you can do is probably start using the brush with sensitive mode with gradually increasing it to normal then !
@@AribDeshmukh Great... Thanks for replying and not only posting videos. It's so satisfying when your questions are answered. God bless you 🙂
Shukriyaaa.. always there for anything related to oral health ☺️☺️
Good hardwork buddy ! 😊 Nice comparison #drpathak
Shukriyaaaa Doc 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Hi Arib Thank for the video, but to be honest it did not answer and in both videos and comments to each of us, you are suggesting both. You are using Sonic for an year but you also say Oral cleans better Can you please help with one option as the best.
Hey Gouprith..thankyou for your feedback. Oral b cleans marginally better than sonic ones. But in the same cost we get better battery and many more features in sonic toothbrushes in India, which is makes it more value for money according to me. I would suggest go for sonic ones and if you want oscillating ones then go for more expensive oral b ones !!
Bro iam using agaro cosmic plus oscillating - black toothbrush its good for teeth
Yup it’s good 👍🏼
Aquasonic Black series is Good to buy?
Hey I have never tried it actually 😅
Atlast as per your personal opinion which one will be good ? Sonic or rotating
Personally cleaning wise rotating but I’m using sonic ones for their features !
Which one is better for zirconia crown teeth?? Is it good for crown teeth?? Is it safe?
Hi Ritesh..both are good but I would for sonic one as they have a sensitive mode which is only available in more expensive oral b ones !!
I wouldn’t trust studies as they can have certain interests in companies, personally I have used oral b for decades and have just started using sonicare and I couldn’t believe how much better the sonicare works for me , at the end of the day both are more effective than just normal toothbrushes.
Absolutely 💯
Is it okay to buy a cheap generic rechargable toothbrush base, then just buy my preferred brush head that is compatible with my electric toothbrush?
Hey can you please explain what do you mean by rechargeable base and for which toothbrush are we talking about ?
@@AribDeshmukh i mean, if i had a cheap unbranded rechargable toothbrush handle from ali express for like $3 then, can i use that with a same sized brush head refill from oral B for example, is it okay to do that, or should i just throw away that cheap one and buy a whole new set
Which do you recommend for recession?
Will recommend you to first visit your dentist and check the level of recession clinically. These will then help in better maintenance eventually.
Is xiaomi t100 sonic toothbrush any good ?
For a beginner yes 💯
Can we use different heads in single brush
Can you explain a bit more on that ? Which brush ? Coz different brush have different brush heads !
I tried both and I thought the Oral B cleaned better than the 9300 Sonic care so I kept the oral B IO 9
Also the io 9 is actually quieter than the Sonic care 62 decibels instead of 65
Wow you have used some really premium ones so far !
How useful are the touchscreen and the Bluetooth features for you on a daily basis ?
@@AribDeshmukh touch screen is awesome makes selection easy and just looks more modern! Bluetooth I use the mapping about once per week just to check how im doing try to be consistent.
I have bleeding gums .which one we should buy
start with either..both will help you !
Doc...can you tell me which one is best for braces? Sonic or rotating?
Sonic you can try as they also sensitive mode which might be helpful initially!!
@@AribDeshmukh thanks for the reply..i ordered caresmith sparks. Is that good?
Good for a beginner one !!
@@AribDeshmukh thanks doc...got my braces yesterday...the process didn't hurt at all..but but can't chew anything...so annoying 😭
Enjoy the next few weeks..you have to go through it 😅
👌👌👌
🥳🥳🥳
thankyou ♥
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
i have electric oral-B. Now I,'ll buy Sonic technology 👍😎
Yuppp both are great…I personally use sonic technology tho 😎
Bro circle head or normal head which is best bro
Both work wonderful !
Which is best sonic or oscillation one
Not an easy option.. but sonics ones are more value for money and oscillation one clean just a little better!!
Considering RCT done on 3rd molar without crown, which is the best?
The oral b ones 🙌🏼
nice
✌🏻✌🏻
I'm trying to figure out why they all oscillate or sonic instead of spin
That’s how the mechanism is 👍🏼
I was also wondering Full spinn is one way movement compared to back and forth which is two ways making full spin not effective also full spin will miss the gaps
First: safety. if it would spin, your hair or other tissue would wrap around it. And thus, it would be more likely to hurt the user. Second: effectiveness. If it would spin it would only clean in one direction and would thus be less effective. Third: Lifespan of the brush-head. If it would spin the hairs on the brush would quickly become bend, when it oscillates it bends the hairs both ways and thus bends them back to somewhat their original shape. (As long as you don't press to hard) Soo, spinning toothbrushes wouldn't be a good idea.
I ended up buying an Oralb Vitality along with a Sonicare 3100, the Philips one is my daily driver while the oralb is reserved for weekly deep clean, now if only I could find a solution for those tea stains. :(
Damn those are two good choices you have made ! Get a professional cleaning done once with you dentist and then maintain it with these electric toothbrushes 😌
You recommend buying oral b for receding gums?
@itzikalma9959 a sonic one would be better 👍🏼
Bro circle rotation or normal toothbrush head
I prefer normal head !
Mera budget 1000 ka he. Konsa toothbrush Lena chahiye?
best realme n1 hai lekin uske brush head replacements mein issues aa rahe hai so caresmith spark or mi t100 !!
The Xiaomi Mijia t302 is a good sonic toothbrush for reasonable price. The rotating oral b is leaking and make a mess when not above the sink. The brushead of the xiaomi does not leak, so i can sit down relaxed and brush my teeths.
Nice..sadly we don’t get that model here in India !
@@AribDeshmukh I am quite sure it will appear in India too very soon. It includes a inductive charging stand and has no unnecessary expensive smart app functions, which I really like :D
Any USB C toothbrush?
Hmmm yes..the Realme n1 is a great starter one with USB C Vishal !!
Which is better I wanna buy 😕
Try sonic ones !
Kon sa la sir please 🙏🙏💓 reply oral b sonic cleaning ka lya
Dono hee ache hai..aapne abhi tak kaunsa try kiya hai ?
@@AribDeshmukh mana oral b wala
Acha toh ek baar ek sonic toothbrush bhi try kar lijiye 😌
@@AribDeshmukh no money
Thoda save kar lijiye and fir lena 😀
I have a Phylian electric toothbrush and the battery charge has lasted over 6 months lasted over 6 months
In one single charge ?
How is 6,000 oscillation per minute better than 30,000+ oscillation per minute? Sonic should have more cleaning power because of more oscillation
It’s the rotational oscillating mechanism along with the bristle design !
What does that tell me? That the conclusions of those studies are depending on who payed for them :))
Maybe..everyone goes back home happy 🤗
Hlo
I felt like the sonic toothbrush did nothing! Also it was more expensive than my oral b rotating one 🤷♀️
Hmmm it’s quite subjective Mary..which sonic toothbrush are you using ?
@@AribDeshmukh Well I agree , but I used the Hum toothbrush from Colgate which is a sonic toothbrush .I like the Oral b rotating one better it seems to clean better.
Well I looked it up ..hum looks like an interesting toothbrush but expensive..it’s not available here in India yet ! How has been your experience with it though ? Yup even I felt rotating ones to clean a tad better 😅
@MISSIS5150 that's because you're using a cheap ass sonic toothbrush. Get a Phillips Sonicare 9900
Philips sonicare. Is the one you should go for.
I personally like the oral b toothbrush as it cleans our teeth better and sonic brush is cheap but it is not worth it so oral b is better
Awesome.. which oral b are you using ?
Vitility 100
How’s the experience so far ?
Very good
Awesome to hear that 🤘🏼
You need to compare sonicare vs io. This is dumb like comparing a Tesls vs a tracktor...😂
It’s an explanation about their mechanism..hopefully will make sonicare vs io soon 🦾
I have heard that round oscillating heads clean better than sonic ones. First time I'm hearing about the other two studies. That's a relief I purchased oral b vitality 100 as my first electric toothbrush. I absolutely loved its cleaning action but it stopped working within a month. Though I got refund, I'm scared to purchase that again as it's very expensive. Have to go for the cheaper sonic ones like caresmith spark
In my testing too I liked the cleaning of the Oral B toothbrushes..but sonic ones are great one.. There are so many in market to choose from for sonic ones and yes spark is a good entry level sonic toothbrush 😄
Have been using mine since 2+ years. Give it another try 👍🏼
There's no difference between the two. It comes down to personal preference.
Slight difference is there but you are right..in the end it comes down to personal preference 💯
always remember, the best one is the one you're using, oral care is better than no oral care at all, so either of the two, even if the manual ones, if you brush three times a day and floss once a day, youre good and better than those 1 time brush a day peeps, and even better for those whose lazy to even brush lol
Yeah no kidding Sherlock 😂
I also feel that rotating brush can clean better than sonic.
Absolutely..although it’s a personal preference at the end of the day 😌
only cleaning matters.
👍🏼👍🏼
What is the average lifespan of these electric toothbrushes?
I know a person whose using one since last 5 years.. I’m myself using one since last 3 years Doc✌🏻
@@AribDeshmukh Sounds good. Thanks for the stat reply!
🦾🦾🦾
I m poor so I will go for sonic... 😢
You get expensive sonic ones also..and sonic is good..I'm personally using them 😊
@@AribDeshmukh I will go for agaro cosmic lite or maybe plus...
Go for normal cosmic .. Try it out . If it works then go for plus..
This is completely not true. The sonic care brush heads or significantly more money than the oral b round heads.
The Philips sonic ones are more expensive in India as they are imported !
So what's the Best electric Toothbrush : : Just Pick Any you'll be good 🤣🤣😂
Yes…it’s the frequency and technique which matters more than which one is the best..endless debate tbh 😅✌🏻
@@AribDeshmukh yes sir! I've recently purchased Phillip's 1100HX3641 brush , can u please make a video on those after market brush heads which are selling on Amazon actually the C2 brush head's are too costly for me so if you review those it helps me.
Oh I use the same one actually now…yes planning to make on it soon 🤗
