Phillips Sonicare toothbrushes are battery-powered brushes that feature three distinct innovations that differentiate their brushes from similar models. Sonicare toothbrushes are available in five basic models: FlexCare, FlexCare+, HealthWhite, Xtreme and Essence.
Innovations
Sonicare's patented technology is achieved through a combination of high-frequency and high-amplitude movements of the bristles that drive toothpaste and fluids into the spaces between teeth and along gum lines while brushing. The head of the brush is contoured to the shape of your teeth. The brush also massages the gums and whips toothpaste with saliva to generate a foamy liquid, which is optimal for your teeth.
Benefits
The benefits of using a Sonicare toothbrush as opposed to a standard toothbrush include healthier gums and greater plaque removal while maintaining gentle brushing.
Price
The price of a Sonicare toothbrush ranges from $40 to $189, depending upon which model you select. The heads must also be frequently replaced, which costs approximately $50 for a five-pack of heads.
