Product Information

Having spent many years using the small round brush heads, the TriZone is much larger and bulkier in the mouth and is much more reminiscent to a regular manual toothbrush. If you want to know more about each brush head or the other choices you have, this guide tells you all you need to know. There is a black coloured CrossAction head, or for iO toothbrush owners, the Ultimate Clean head is available in black. It might be tricky to position correctly, initially, but the use of a pickpocket tip that comes provided with the likes of the Waterpik Aquarius (and a bit of practice) might help. It’s worth noting that this brush head won’t work miracles — it’s worth trying if you have some light staining you want to remove, but if the desired results are not achieved, you will likely need professional cleaning or bleaching.

After spending 12 years in consumer technology, it was in 2014 that he focused his attention on dental health, having experienced first-hand the challenge of choosing a new toothbrush.Whilst the Oral-B 3D White brush head will not achieve the same results as professional whitening at the dentist, it can help to remove surface stains from your teeth. You’d think that by its name the “Floss Action” would perform best in this respect, but I’m not so sure. Yellow in colour, a third of the way down they have a blue banding around them, which is slightly thicker and gives strength to the bristle. Our tests were inconclusive as to whether or not this brush cleans between teeth any better than a standard brush head. The thing I’m most interested in is whether the fitting of the head to the toothbrush is the same for all – and I mean ALL Oral B toothbrush handles.

It is very consistent in the results it gives, and it would make a good every day cleaning brush head. The idea is that this brush has an oval head with standard bristles combined with four yellow, longer rubber bristles that are supposed to reach between the teeth to dislodge food and other particles.And in our side by side egg test, the Gentle Care failed to remove stains from the egg, while the Ultimate Clean did a decent job. If ever in doubt it is worth speaking to your dentist to find which is the best combination for you. To find out how well these brush heads cleaned, we performed home tests using plaque reveal pills as well as lab tests cleaning stained surfaces. The brush heads shown in the table below will work with any Oral-B brush handle, apart from the Stages Power Kids and the Oral-B iO series. Unique MicroPulse bristles are designed to reach and clean deep between the teeth to give a floss like clean whilst other bristles focus on the tooth surfaces and the gum line to help lift and remove plaque.

In our testing, we found that this brush did well at removing plaque, although it was not as good at getting to those hard to reach spots as the CrossAction. This is a Pinky/Purple coloured piece of rubber, that sits lower than all the other bristles of the brush. Whilst it happily cleans the teeth well, for me the clean is not as invigorating as the CrossAction or the Precision clean brush heads. The Whitening Mode lasts for 2 minutes 20 seconds — the first 2 minutes are for your normal clean, and the last 20 seconds can be used to focus on any particularly stained areas.The small round brush head has contouring to the bristles to help adapt to the curvature of the tooth and gumline for a deep and thorough clean. A power tip reaches the back teeth whilst shorter bristles clean the tooth surface and longer sweeping bristles that reach up to 2X deeper between teeth compared to a manual brush to deliver a more superior clean. In a more objective test, we used a Genius X model handle and attached every brush head that Oral-B makes to remove stains from egg shells.

The data analysing these different brush heads does not really exist to really understand the true differences. Whilst over the years I have conducted a number of tests and made observations on how well each cleaned, I have not chosen to conduct any tests that really analyse in detail as you suggest. When comparing the brush patterns of round brush heads, it was easy to see which ones cleaned the best, but because this has such a unique shape, it was more difficult to get a clear result.

I am surprised the bristles have caused your gums to bleed if you are a regular electric toothbrush user. I agree you would think it would perform best and from memory it is not terrible, but simply put it is not a replacement for interdental cleaning be that with floss or interdental brushes. Some might find it a little too harsh, the bristles are fairly stiff, particularly if you compare it to the sensitive head. They are not interchangeable with other Oral-B toothbrushes and the non-iO heads included in this article are not compatible with the iO. To the outer left and right of this polishing cup are 3 clusters of bristles that form the outer ring of the brush head if you like.
