automatic toothbrushes?

[JohnGalt]

Are these really good? I see ads of the Sonic tooth brush and I wonder if it's worth it to pay 100 bucks. Are there any other kinds that are good and less expensive?

Thanks

there are some for around 40 bucks. i use both an automatic and a regular toothbrush and the regular toothbrush can never get my teeth as clean as teh automatic one! it sucks to replace the heads of the automatic ones tho cuz they can get really pricy and u have to replace them about a few months. i forgot which brand i use...i got mine for free tho.

I don't know about Sonic, but I'm using Sonicare and it is awesome. Feels like you've just comes back from the dentist everytime. It feels kinda weird the first couple of use cuz those things vibrate really hard in your mouth but you'll get use to it. I saw a Sonicare goes on sale at Target for like $70 pesos which is really good.

I don't know man, after I got my oral vibrator I could never go back. I got the oral B something or other three years ago for Christmas and it has honestly turned out to be one of the best presents ever. I highly recommend getting one, but I would do some research cause not all of them are good for your teeth. I remember mine was actually endorsed by dentists, but some other ones were opposed. I'd just go to the product home pages, it will probably say whether or not they're ADA approved. These things rock when you're too tired(or intoxicated) to brush your teeth normally, since they do all the work for you. Plus my teeth never felt this clean when I used a normal toothbrush. There it is, an unbiased opinion. I sound like a freaking commercial but I really did like it that much. People used to make fun of me in the dorms because I would brush my teeth like 5 times a day after I got it.

Go to Sam's Club and get the disposable battery operated "Spinbrush", 4pack for about $17. You can replace the batteries, but not the cleaning heads, thus, disposable. These work better than the Oral-B's that we own.

or here

here's the site for "Dr.Johns" affordable electric toothbrush

I have to put in another recommendation for the Sonicare. The thing is amazing. My dentist gave me a sampler, which you can buy for $10 and get a $10 credit back if you buy the real one, and it truly has made a difference in my dental hygiene. My gums no longer bleed and my teeth are happy!

The great thing about it is that you can actually save time brushing because you don't have to keep going over the same spot numerous times.

I wholeheartedly recommend the Sonicare.

Has anyone gone to sonictoothbrush.com? is this a ripoff of sonicare? They offer a lot more for the same $100.
