That’s kinda on you, dude. Nothing is stopping you from subscribing to toothbrush premium with mouth-print authentication. Before you start whining, no, you don’t actually have to listen to the two minutes of ads for sour candy, transmitted directly through your jaw bones. You can always upgrade to add-free. It’s only like $10 per month.
$10 per month? I thought it was $10 per tooth…
No, it’s a flat fee, but you get a 10% discount off of tooth implant services provided by our network of dentists whom we charge 20% to participate in our exclusive market.
And now, a premium ad from our sponsored doctor, Dr. Dentoothio…
Same thing with only one tooth left
Toothbrush premium has been sunset and replaced by toothbrush plus by popular customer demand.
It’s superior features have a newly redesigned the consumer experience. Ads can be skipped. Up to three times to be reviewed at a later date.
Of course we also have the new ultra premium subscription model for the low price of 9,99 per week where you can submit your ad preferences!
i bought an off brand sonic toothbrush for under 15(with discount from tootheory, amazon) unfortunately they dont sell these anymore. apparently it has all the features of a more expensive sonicare that is usually around 80-100$.
Get a load of mistah moneybags over here. Gotta whole $15 to drop on a toothbrush alone. Meanwhile, I get whatever kind of $1.50 manual toothbrush my dentist hands out for free and I gotta brush my teeth like some kinda neanderthal.
Dude, you must have just void someone’s patent idea xD
And that’s what you get for buying an internet toothbrush.
indeed all the reviews i saw about these both brand name ones and off brands are defective one way or another.
“Brushing experience”. Every morning is an adventure.
Did you remember to drink a verification can of Mountain Dew?
I gave up on electric toothbrushes. My dentist recommended them, I used them, got two infections in six months where I had no issues for years. Returned to normal brushes three years ago, no more infections.
They are definitely, without a question, much more effective at cleaning your teeth. My guess is coincidence vs. you had a poor technique when it came to using them

i noticed the offbrand ones claiming very high rpm, are likely not true, or just oscillates. also sonic and rotating are somewhat different too. some off-brand sonic ones are good too, epsecially the ones where you can set the intensity.
not all electric brushes are made equal. my dad’s best friend is an oral surgeon so i know a fair bit about teef
that doesnt seem like the cause, my teeth were really way cleaner and efficiently brushed than with a manual. with a manual you can definitely go too hard on the enamel if you are aggressive. electrics now have sensors that detect pressure. are rinsing the brush heads before and after using them? or you using it way after 3-4 months? or you using it on your gums or too much.
Oh ffs this is ridiculous. Wtf does a toothbrush need internet?
To collect data for advertisers and health officials. To add a subscription to turning on your tooth brush.
too collect data, and make it look like you are buying a bougie product, because it has all these features. some off-brand ones that are way cheaper has the same thing already.
you usually dont encounter these ones unless you are paying alot for it, like 80-200$+ for the expensive lines of oral-b.
To adequately measure your brushing habits and tell you which teeth you are missing or not brushing enough?
An electronic brush could do this locally, without internet or account
Ahhhhh I see your point
it must be those smart-lines of oral-b that are very expensive, like 100-200$+ the ones less than 70 wont do this. i heard the bougie ones are quite flimsy and prone to breaking, because theres more complicated parts and now electronics.
Can confirm! I bought one on sale which never connected to Bluetooth on my Samsung android (though documentation suggested it should.) connected to partners iPhone though. Anyway I used for less than 3 months before it stopped charging. I then went back to using the £25 I’d had for many years.
i was looking online reviews when i was looking for electric toothbrush, almost everyone that has smart-features including off brand tend to be defective, one way or another. its either the blue tooth, the sensor, it stops rotating, charging,etc. replacement heads are expensive if you are buying the OFFICIAL heads. i bought ones from ironically germany( alittle big for the american version of the actual toothbrush, it works and it last longer too as a replacement, apparently only the american ones get yellow and shorter before 3 months. while the ones from the official german versions dont. the americans have to be replaced every 3months.
the one i bought was the oralb1000 series, it was 39.99usd at the time(i noticed this color was noticbally cheaper both instore too, shouldve gotten another one jus tin case.) they sell the other colors which was more expensive and never on sale for some reason.
💩 No one expects the enshittification! 💩
LOL, I thought this was a joke.
Important question, are verification cans bad for my teeth?
years ago a colleague of mine used to say: could you, please, unplug your book from my computer? i need to charge my cigarette.
And when they stopped supporting your device, your teeth will look like this
Last time i tried to do it on my brush thinking that you could easily swap profiles between myself and wife, it turned out to be a single account device and you had to login to another account to use it… who the fuck got time for that?
Why do this if you provide multiple interchangable brush heads?!
but why one needs a smart toothbrush that requires an account in the first place? does it have a loudspeaker so you can listen to some Cannibal Corpse on Qobuz while brushing your teeth?
Philip’s Sonicare line uses an app to track your brushing habits and can tell you when you’re underbrushing spots. It’s almost definitely also spyware, though, like all major corpo apps.
damn.
i bought a cheap one off-brand , it has 5 different intensities and settings and you can program it yourself(how long each one last) and it has a countdown to see how long you have been brushing, it warns you if you brush less than 2 minutes. sadly this one is very cheap(teetheory) and no longer sold on amazon, likely due to trumps tariffs on china last year.
Its prolly got a camera that looks at your teeth so you no longer need to get a checkup. But thats also very intrusive, imo
Obvs, im being sarcastic
But it could happen 🪥🦷
smart toothbrush has too much datamining features, plus the more electronics it has the more it likely is an expensive mistake. i look at quite of few of the smart or expensive ones, and they commonly become defective quite readily.
geee
It doesn’t need an account to play music, even
its the expensive bougie ones. oral-b has mutliple lines. oral-b 100-1500 line is your standard non-smart ones more durable. its only if you buy something higher than that which is 100-200$each like the IO series. if you for some reason want to only use IO replacement heads that is expensive too, always get off-market replacement heads.
sonic toothbrush apparently is a different company(sonicare).
i think i’m going to stick with my regular brush.

Wait you don’t have a washing machine

During spin cycle absolutely
I’ve got an ultrasonic one, no app needed. It detects when you apply too much force, and if you do use the app - again, not needed - it can track your brushing habits and tell you when you’re missing spots. I would not have bought it without my employee discount, though. I think the $30 ultrasonic ones with no seriously fancy stuff are still good, though.
sonicare is the “OG brand” for sonic, its quite pricey, i went with offbrand one, it does the same with the fraction of the cost, plust it comes with 6-10 replacement heads. sonicare and oral-b only comes with 1 and you have to buy thier official or offbrand ones(which has questionable durability for the cheapest heads).
with oral-b, because i couldnt find a reliable off brand one i bought replacement heads for the official german rotating oral-b(its larger and it fits enough that it still works like the american ones, which was quite cheaper.
studies show that rotating and Sonic is superior to manual, besides manual ive seen people in thier reviews that they BRUSH way to harshely and then use things like whitening toothpaste, abrasive toothbrush and complain about thier teeth worst. sonic and rotating has sensors in case you are using too much pressure. like manual you dont want to brush too long anyways
