Are all electric toothbrushes the same?
Quite simply the answer is no, the reason for this is there are different batteries, motors and functions.
What are the differences?
There are many differences to consider; oscillation speed, protective features from brushing too hard, battery run time and warranty. Basically the more the electric toothbrush costs, the better the battery life, safety features, cleaning programs and brushing assistance (phone app brushing assistance with customised routine/reminders through Bluetooth).
The heads on all the Oral-B range fit on all the Oral-B electric toothbrushes from the cheapest model right up to the top of the range.
How much is your mouth worth?
Good advice is get the best electric toothbrush you can afford with the most safety features.
The safety features in the toothbrush prevent you from doing irreversible damage to the gums which you can do quite easily with the cheaper electric toothbrushes as they are oscillating/rotating at 3 times the speed of manual brushing. The problem is they can do damage at 3 times the rate of a manual tooth brush, hence the benefit to get an electric tooth brush with built in pressure sensors and safety features which prevent damage if you do press too hard.
