Hi,
I recently "upgraded" my toothbrush from one of the classic oral-b to the IO series. The main problem I'm having is that since the heads have three holes, all of the foam from inside my mouth comes out through the bottom side-hole in the toothbrush head and my hand ends up completely covered in foam which I find disgusting.
Is this a common occurrence or am I using it wrong?
Thanks!
As title says, I’ve been a Sonicare user for decades now and every so often I consider switching to an oral b or something but I’m hard pressed.
Is there anything better? Not the app or the beeping or the bells and whistles per se, but the actual brushing and cleanness.
Convince me!

I’m in desperate need of a good quality electric toothbrush. I haven’t got my teeth cleaned for 2 years now due to not having any insurance and still don’t have it. I have a lot of decalification and build up on the gum lines of my teeth and I have very sensitive gums and mild gum recession. I just need one that is good for sensitive gums and will actually remove all the plaque.
The internet, theory, and everything else makes it clear to me that electric toothbrushes, both sonic and those with pivoting heads, like these latest modern Oral-B IO series, are better than manual ones... BUT.
The feeling of cleanliness with a manual toothbrush versus an electric one is significant. I don't notice that my teeth are clean with the mechanical one.
I don't notice any visual improvement. I don't notice that they're any better than before.
I'm someone who brushes my teeth 2-3 times a day and always uses mouthwash afterward.
I've brushed with my new toothbrush several times on the general daily cleaning setting of the io7 and it actually buzzes my head so much that I end up feeling a little bit dizzy afterwards. Does that happen to anyone else? I guess I'll have to try the gentle or the slower mode. I'm coming from a Braun Oral-B electric toothbrush that was about 6 years old so it was an older model but I don't think it would vibrate my entire head like this new one does.

Hello I'm 19M, my electric toothbrush broke a few months ago and just used it like a manual toothbrush but then slowly realising that I barely see any improvements in my teeth or him health that I usually see. So I want to get a a replacement so what do you guys recommend?, I see that the main brands is Oral B or Sonic care.
Also I am interested in any other gadgets or tools you recommend. I just use a toothbrush+ mouthwash and nothing more really currently.
I don't have a big budget but looking to spend roughly £100-150 for everything. But if there is something that you think is worth the extra money then please do let me know.
Thank you very much for reading and will wait excitedly for your opinions 😄
Hey everyone! My toothbrush has been acting up lately, I left it to charge while I was on vacation and returned to this. Anyone have any idea how to fix this? It seems to light up a lot but never turns on.
I'm looking for the best balance of price, features, and functionality,
Somewhere between an Io3 and Io7, I gather.
I'm using an iO 7 in daily clean mode and 99.9% of my brushing is in the "green" pressure range but the brush heads don't seem to last anywhere close to 3 months. After about a month they are starting to look ragged. I buy the Oral B branded heads at BJs and they come in a 8 pack and believe they are authentic.
Hi, I’ve got an IO 8 . The 8 uses the magnetic charging base.
I’ve seen the 10 has a more advanced ‘sense’ base with a timer & pressure lights.
If I could get one, would it be compatible with my 8? Would they pair?
I’ve seen some 9s come with the timer base.
Also, I assume the base has to be plugged into the mains? For it to work as a timer and pressure sensor?
