The advent of electric toothbrush in the market has opened the doors for cleaning your teeth in a great way. The electric toothbrush has definitely held its own position in the American market place. It has become quite popular in the market and you can find electric toothbrushes for as little as $4 to as high as you can go. Though most of the brands available in the market have their own share but there is a fierce debate and battle is continuing among two of the most popular electric toothbrushes Sonicare Elite 39500 Sonic Toothbrush and the Braun toothbruses – Braun Oral B Professional Care Oral Care System. Both of the toothbrushes enjoy a good amount of popularity and market share. When most of the people go to purchase any toothbrush in the market they are looking for an electric toothbrush with a couple of features in mind.

Both the toothbrushes like Sonicare Elite 39500 Sonic Toothbrush and the Braun Toothbrush - Braun Oral B Professional Care Oral Care System come in the market with host of features. One of the important features to look for is the types of brush heads the electric toothbrush offers and how much it costs to replace these. Others features are like two-year warranties and rechargeable batteries. The Sonicare Elite 39500 Sonic toothbrush comes with two heads. The first head is a standard electric toothbrush head meant for complete cleaning of your teeth, gums, and mouth. The second head is smaller in size and specifically meant for more compact precision cleaning. On the other hand the Braun Oral B Professional Care Oral Care System comes with five different toothbrush heads. The first toothbrush head is a flex soft head, ideal for sensitive teeth and gums. The second head is a power polisher as its qualities suggest. The third one is the dual action head; fourth head is a tongue refresher and the fifth head is an interdental cleaner. The number of the cleaning options provided by the Braun Oral B scores one up versus Sonicare. Furthermore the Braun replacement heads are cheaper than the Sonicare toothbrush heads.

The latest type of electric toothbrush available in the market is sonic toothbrush. The cleaning action of the sonic toothbrushes is based on unique sonic technology that allows having a cleaning effect beyond the reach of the tips of their bristles. It is also true that the recent generations of electric toothbrushes like the sonic toothbrushes are the best dental plaque removers. The most of the recent advancement in the technology of electric toothbrushes was achieved in 1983.
The electric toothbrushes that subsequently used this technology became to be known as the sonic technology and the toothbrushes produced using this technology were known as sonic toothbrushes. The high rate of speed at which the brush head vibrates distinctly separates the sonic toothbrush from the lot. Usually the sonic toothbrushes are capable of producing more than 31000 head strokes per minute even some of the models of the sonic toothbrushes are capable of producing more than 40000 head strokes per minute while the normal electric toothbrushes are able to produce only 3000 to 8000 head strokes per minute. The high speed of the head is achieved in the sonic toothbrush due to the vibratory motion of the head.
