The first time I used my Electric Toothbrush. I was having a hard time. Well, I didn't really liked it that time. But as months passed by. I felt more comfortable on it. It cleanses deeply than regular toothbrush.

I'm glad everyone else had this issue. I remember not wanting to use it because I thought my braces would fall off. It also kept hitting my teeth and vibrating them and I hate that feeling. :shock: Now however, I am used to it so I use my Sonicare as my main toothbrush and a manual as the one I take with me out and about.

I haven’t had my braces fitted yet but have a sonicare which I thinks cleans teeth brilliantly. Hopefully won’t feel weird when I have the braces on

My other recommendation is to use minimal pressure as you press the head of the brush against the teeth -- let the brush do all the work. I think this allows the tips of the bristles to more freely move about, for better coverage of the tooth surface around the braces. Best of luck to you!
