 New Toothbrush???

Via another network, a message was posted regarding a new type of
electronic toothbrush which uses sonic waves on the bristles (the
bristles move at about 500 strokes per second.)  This supposedly allows
the toothpaste (gel) to transmit vibrations to the fluid that goes
between the teeth, and UNDER the gumline.  This vibrating fluid ruptures
the fimbriae, the small tenti\acles the bacteria need to cling to the
wall of the tooth.  Result: no more plaque.

The sender of the message says he bought the toothbrush from the
manufacturer (it's called Sonicare.) and that it works.  His teeth are
beginning to whiten and they have never been as clean.  It costs about
#150, from a firms named Optiva of Seattle, WA.

Has anyone ever heard of this?  Is it really any good?

Yes. The Sonicaire is awesome. I bought mine at the Sharper Image. The
Interplak and the Braun are not even in the same league.

I've got the address here someplace.

On what basis do YOU state that the Sonicaire is better than Interplak or the
Braun ? Did you use all the machines for an equal amount of time and have had
your level of plaque/calculus checked on a regular basis ?
Any scientific and clinical study to support your claim ?

I've owned several Interplaks. (I've owned more than one, that is,
because they keep breaking.)

I've also own the Braun, and it has sat in storage, since I purchased
my Sonicare several months ago. The Sonicare is so much better than
the other two brands, it's clear I'll never go back, even though I
own all three.

Granted, I don't have "scientific studies," but that doesn't discredit
the fact that as a consumer I have used all three, which is something
very few consumers can say.

I am confused by your confrontational tone. Are you trying to start
an argument? If you know something about electric toothbrushes, then
let's hear it.

This is the kind of news I want to read. Backed by experience. Not something
pulled from thin air.
Now whatever you stated ealrier makes sense.
