‘Power brushes with an oscillating-rotating action removed plaque and reduced gingivitis more effectively than manual toothbrushes in the short term and reduced gingivitis scores in studies over three months. No other powered designs were as consistently superior to manual toothbrushes.’

These words do not come from Oral-B, who developed the oscillating-rotating technology, but from The Cochrane Oral Health Group. Oscillating-rotating toothbrushes are also the only power products listed in the Department of Health's ‘Toolkit for Prevention’.

Oral-B power toothbrushes are also the most used and recommended brand by dental professionals and are the only power brushes accredited by the British Dental Health Foundation.
