Product Reviews of Oral B Triumph 9900 Toothbrush with Smart Guide
Product Review: Absolutely the Best Yet (We've Tried Many Toothbrushes)
Summary: 5 Stars
Our family has used a lot of different electric toothbrushes in the last fifteen years and this one is the best ever.
This is why:
1. The Smart Guide Technology is GREAT. In the past, with other toothbrushes without the 'smart guide' we did not know if we were putting enough or too much pressure on our teeth with the toothbrush.
With a different Oral B model a few years ago I used too much pressure and temporarily damaged the enamel on my teeth. A dentist told me to lighten up on the pressure. But after that I stopped using that toothbrush out of fear of damaging my teeth. A relative also used that same model and damaged his enamel so badly that he sought the care of a dentist who confirmed his enamel was damaged (temporarily) but it was so bad he had to take painkilling medication. In the model's defense my husband used that same model with no problem.
This Oral B model is superior because it senses the pressure so we don't damage our teeth AND so that we apply enough pressure to clean our teeth well.
I have my children using this now also as now they know when they are applying the right amount of pressure. I have struggled over the years to try to get them to brush their teeth well enough and long enough.
2. The visual aid helps with the timing of the brushing. The little screen shows the time in numbers and it shows what quadrant of the teeth to brush at that time.
Yes other electric toothbrushes that my children used had a beep or a pause in the brushing action to indicate each 30 second segment of time. But for whatever reason, this different visual aid is helping them more. They like to watch it and count down the time. They make a game of it. (You can also change it to count up if you prefere that.) My kids are no longer claiming to 'not hear the beep' or to rush through the brushing and shut it off saying 'it must have been long enough and it must be making a mistake to still be on'. The kids (boys age 8 and 11) also like the visual reminder of which quadrant to brush in that 30 second segment.
3. After the cleaning my mouth feels like it does after a professional cleaning.
4. Lastly and less importantly, the boys think the toothbrush with the screen is cool and fun.
Confession: My husband is a toothbrush junkie always in search of the latest and best one on the market. This is why our family has bought (too many) electric toothbrushes in the past. I'm the type who uses one that works well until it dies, but he is the one spending money to buy the latest and greatest. In this case I am glad he bought this one!
Honestly this is a great toothbrush!
Product Review: Holds Charge
Summary: 5 Stars
I love my new toothbrush. The 30 second timer works great. I took it on a trip and after 11 days it still held the charge. Easy to use! Product Review: Great product and good value at Amazon.com
Summary: 5 Stars
We have been using Oral-B products for a while now and they all have performed as expected. This particular item is no exception. It is a little louder than I anticipated, mostly due to the revolutions of the brush head. We had been using the Oral-B Sonic Brush prior to this which is extremely quiet as the brush head does not rotate. I cannot use the heads that come with the brush as I have braces but using an Ortho head designed for braces works just as well. The cost, with shipping, from Amazon.com was cheaper than I could find this item in a local store.Product Review: Oral B Triumph 9900 w/Smart Guide
Summary: 5 Stars
I puchased this product since my dentist insisted -- I have been very impressed so far -- I actually look forward to brushing with this new system -- it is easy on my teeth and doesnt cause any gum bleeding.
It is expensive and says you need to replace the brush head every 3 months or so.
Product Review: great when if it works
Summary: 1 Stars
When it works it works great, but it never works.... We used this for 6 months at out Dentists recommendation. It worked great and even the dentist commented that my teeth were cleaner, but.... after 6 or 7 months the brush died. We sent it in for repair and 7 weeks later it was returned, but it still didn't work. I am back to the brush. Save your money and buy something else. The Oral B customer service was miserable.
