April marked the beginning of a new era for Japan!✨
Sad to say goodbye to [Heisei]😔 but also exciting to have witnessed the beginning of [Reiwa]🤩
Speaking of different … Do you know know the difference between Electric, Sonic and Ultra-sonic toothbrushes?😅
Well, we’ll break it down to the basics;
【Electric Toothbrush】
Removes plaque with approximately 2500~7500 brush stokes per minute
The motor makes rapid automatic bristle motions which are powerful to thoroughly clean the mouth.
Example: Oral B Smart Professional, with 3 brushing modes.
【Sonic Toothbrush】
A sonic toothbrush is a type of electric toothbrush that uses over 30,000 sonic motions to remove plaque and clean teeth
Sonic brushes rely on a sweeping motion alone to clean the teeth, the movement that they provide is often high in amplitude which means they offer larger sweeping brush stroke motions.
Example: Linear Sonic Toothbrush PLUME, with 5 brushing modes and feather-soft bristles
【Ultra Sonic Toothbrush】
An ultrasonic toothbrush is one that uses a very high frequency of vibration (160~200万Hz) referred to as ultrasound to remove plaque and bacteria from the teeth.
Ultrasonic toothbrushes unlike sonic ones do not rely on a physical motion to clean the teeth.
Example: Sonicare Professional & Sonicare KIDS
Maybe not exactly exciting, but the difference might come in handy next time you’re getting something other than a manual toothbrush!😉😇
