Usmile marble is indeed delicate, it is said to be designed together with LV designers, the unique "marble texture" printed on the body and packaging, light luxury simple but elegant, is the first choice for gifts; The marketing of this electric toothbrush has been very popular, attracting many Internet celebrities and celebrities to bring goods.
(2) Rich usage patterns
There are as many as 12 modes of use of this electric toothbrush, but because the span difference between each mode is not so obvious, the actual adaptation is limited, the span is relatively small, and the vibration frequency span needs to be optimized.
(3) Intimate design
This electric toothbrush has a memory function, which automatically adjusts to the mode used for the last brushing of the tooth, eliminating the need for repeated steps, which is both intimate and convenient.
Electric toothbrush recommendation three: Philips HX2471
Reason for recommendation:
(1) The vibration feeling is soft
Philips' HX2471 only reaches 30,000 vibrations per minute, the output is relatively soft, the overall brushing experience is very comfortable, and because the bristles are relatively soft, it does not produce enough cleaning power, it is not recommended for people with high cleaning power to choose.
(2) The size of the brush head is too large
The long bristles and large brush head size may be difficult to clean deep into the blind spot, but it is suitable for users who prefer large brush heads.
(3) Affordable price
This is one of Philips' hot-selling products, but the price is considered the entry-level of Philips' many electric toothbrush styles, and you can consider this one if you like to buy Philips products but have a limited budget.
Part 2 Electric toothbrush science popularization class
1. What are the unsuitable people for electric toothbrushes?
Children under 1 and 4 years of age
Children's teeth and gums at this stage are in the growth and development period, will be very sensitive and fragile, and they have not fully mastered the use of electric toothbrushes, if blindly use high-intensity vibration frequency electric toothbrushes, easy to cause tooth damage, and even tooth deformity.
2. Elderly over 65 years old
At this stage, the teeth of the elderly are gradually deteriorating with age, and because they have not formed good dental care habits before, there are certain dental and oral problems, and they are basically unable to withstand the strong cleaning power of electric toothbrushes.
3. Patients with severe oral diseases
Patients with severe oral diseases (such as severe periodontitis) have teeth that are in danger, such as loose teeth, severe pain, frequent bleeding and suppuration, etc., at this time need to seek medical attention in time, if you continue to use electric toothbrushes, its strong vibration will only aggravate the condition.
4. Users who have just received dental treatment
Users who have recently experienced dental fillings, root canal treatment, etc. need to use it under the advice of a dentist, and it is best not to use it for one month. Electric toothbrushes with strong shock sensation are easy to cause secondary damage to tooth decay and missing tooth parts that have lost tooth enamel, further aggravating the condition, or treat it first, and then use it when the situation is stable.
Second, can you use an electric toothbrush for tooth sensitivity?
Tooth sensitivity is a relatively common situation, as for whether you can use an electric toothbrush, it needs to be determined according to the situation, and cannot be generalized:
1. If the sensitivity of the teeth to the outside world is not particularly serious, you can choose an electric toothbrush with soft bristles, moderate vibration frequency, stable and uniform vibration and low tooth injury rate, which generally does not lead to further expansion of tooth sensitivity.
2. For serious tooth sensitivity, such as frequent severe pain in the teeth, serious discomfort in the bite of the diet, etc., it is necessary to suspend the use of electric toothbrushes, seek medical attention in time, and carry out oral treatment and care to avoid aggravating the condition.
Popular Science Class: How should people with sensitive teeth take care of their teeth?
Tooth sensitivity will often occur, people with tooth sensitivity after eating cold food, can cause sore teeth or even pain, so usually pay attention to the care of teeth:
1. See a dentist in time
Tooth sensitivity should go to the dentistry in time to find out the cause of tooth sensitivity and symptomatic treatment, so as to better treat tooth sensitivity and avoid tooth soreness caused by tooth sensitivity.
2. Use a professional electric toothbrush that does not hurt your teeth
When teeth are sensitive, you can choose an electric toothbrush with soft bristles, a roundness higher than 90%, and a moderate and stable vibration frequency, which can often take into account both cleaning and tooth protection, and do not blindly pursue high-intensity vibration frequency, so as not to aggravate tooth enamel damage and make teeth more sensitive.
3. Use anti-sensitive toothpaste
Anti-allergy toothpaste can be used appropriately to brush your teeth to help your teeth get rid of sensitivity, but pay attention to the fact that you must stick to it for a period of time to show results.
4. Adopt the correct brushing method
Adhere to good oral hygiene habits, usually insist on brushing teeth morning and night, and take the correct Pap brushing method, brushing process remember not to pull saw horizontal brushing, and do not push too hard, conditional try to choose a gentle vibration, soft bristles of the electric toothbrush for brushing, which is convenient and conducive to dental health.
Third, the characteristics of the five major pit goods electric toothbrushes in the market
Feature 1: The internal structure is not precise enough
Cheap electric toothbrush brands only pursue fast market launch, and the accuracy of the internal structure of the product has not reached the equilibrium standard, resulting in poor vibration stability and loud noise, which greatly affects the sense of experience.
Feature 2: Poor motor material
The motors on the market are mainly divided into magnetic levitation motors and coreless motors, the power stability of the coreless motors is not as strong as the magnetic levitation motors, the noise is relatively large, and it is easy to hurt teeth, but because of the low cost, generally low-priced products will be used.
Feature 3: Lack of technical tuning
Most of these electric toothbrushes are OEM production, without technical strength, and lack of technical adjustment and optimization of core parameters such as vibration frequency, swing deviation value, bristle roundness of electric toothbrushes, etc., which is easy to cause damage to teeth.
Feature 4: poor bristle material and low roundness
Generally, the roundness of the bristles of inferior electric toothbrushes is less than 90% or even 50%, the shape of the top of the bristles is uneven, and it is particularly sharp, especially easy to prick and scratch the teeth and gums, and it is not recommended to use.
Feature 5: The after-sales policy is not perfect
Cheap electric toothbrushes often have imperfect after-sales policies, do not provide trial experience, and have a short warranty time, allowing users to bear greater trial and error costs and replacement costs, and do not pay attention to user experience.
Part 3 Electric toothbrush evaluation session
The following leads you into the electric toothbrush evaluation link, I found that many online bloggers do electric toothbrush evaluation just list some parameters, as for why to refer to these parameters, there is no clear explanation. As a professional evaluation blogger, I will choose a complex but more objective and real electric toothbrush evaluation trial, the evaluation focuses on the comprehensive performance of cleaning ability and use experience, and attaches great importance to the selection of electric toothbrushes, I hope you can clearly distinguish the quality of electric toothbrushes after reading.
Participating brands and models of electric toothbrushes:
Electric toothbrush evaluation dimension 1: cleaning power
Dimensional interpretation: As we all know, the cleaning power of electric toothbrushes is dozens of times stronger than that of manual toothbrushes, but blindly pursuing high-intensity cleaning power will lead to counter-effects. It is best to choose an electric toothbrush with a vibration frequency between 25000~40000 times / minute and an swing of 3 ° ~ 9 °, and the vibration swing should be uniform and stable enough not to be large and small, so that the brushing is balanced and stable enough, and it will not damage the tooth enamel because it is too large, nor will it achieve enough cleaning effect because it is too small.
Assessment Results:
★★★★★ : Ole, Oral-B
★★★★ : Libod, Philips
Electric toothbrush evaluation dimension two: tooth protection
Dimensional interpretation: The wear degree of tooth protection of electric toothbrush is related to factors such as bristle softness, motor tuning optimization, balance of vibration frequency, uniformity and stability. Professional brands with rich tuning experience can take into account the oral tolerance of Chinese people to make high-quality electric toothbrushes, and at the same time, the bristles should be debugged in details such as gentle and comfortable material, high roundness and smooth bristle edges, which requires comprehensive improvement of tooth protection.
Assessment Results:
★★★★★ : Joy, Shuke
★★★★ : Philips, Usmile
Electric toothbrush evaluation dimension three: roundness
Dimensional interpretation: The roundness of the electric toothbrush will directly affect the tooth protection force, so we should pay more attention to the roundness of the top of the bristles, which can generally be clearly seen under the microscope with several times magnification.
The bristles of an electric toothbrush can also affect the roundness:
(1) Brush bristle production process with low roundness
Through hair grafting-flying hair (cutting) - and then rounding, so that the roundness of the planted bristles can only reach 60% ~ 70% at most, under microscope observation, some sharp bristles can still be seen, and there is a certain risk of tooth injury.
(2) High roundness bristle production process
This is through copper-free hair grafting, first rounded, and then grafted, so the roundness can reach more than 90%, basically will not cause damage to teeth and gums.
Assessment Results:
★★★★★ : Cho Le, Sushi
★★★★ : Shuke, Usmile
Note: The bristles of Shuke are fine and soft, and there is no roundness, but the brushing experience is also very comfortable.
Electric toothbrush evaluation dimension four: bristles soft and hard
Different groups of people and different oral conditions should choose different soft and hard bristles:
(1) People with very healthy teeth
This group of people has high tooth tolerance and can tolerate brush heads with hard bristles, but long-term use is not recommended, and the force needs to be controlled when brushing teeth to avoid irreversible damage to teeth.
(2) Children under 8 years old, pregnant women and the elderly
It is recommended to choose a brush head with soft bristles, the teeth of this group of people are more sensitive and fragile, if you use a toothbrush with too hard bristles, it is easy to cause bleeding gums and even aggravate gum recession.
(3) People with sensitive teeth and mild to moderate periodontitis
Suitable for brush heads with moderate and soft bristles, it can not only deeply clean the blind spots between teeth, gingival grooves and other dead corners, but also not easily damage the teeth and gums, and even relieve gum bleeding.
Assessment Results:
Soft: Joy, Shuke
Moderately soft: Philips, Joy, Usmile
Moderate: Chole, Mijia, Bayer
Hard: Libode, Oral-B
Among the several electric toothbrushes I have evaluated, there are three types of brush heads equipped with Joy, including soft, moderately soft and moderately bristled, which can basically cover different groups of people and adapt to various oral conditions, which is relatively rare on the market.
Electric toothbrush evaluation dimension five: brush head selection
Dimensional interpretation: Because our oral environment state is easily affected by diet, stress, cleaning habits and other factors, problems such as gingivitis, periodontitis, tooth sensitivity, and mouth ulcers often occur. Therefore, electric toothbrushes are required to have a rich selection of brush heads, so as to meet the differentiated requirements for cleaning power and tooth protection under different oral qualities.
To judge whether the brush head is of high quality, we can assess from the following four factors:
Factor 1: Brush head material
Originally, the bristles of traditional toothbrushes were made of animal bristles, which were later replaced by slender, soft, non-absorbent nylon silk bristles, while DuPont bristles, as high-end bristles in nylon, are used by many mid-to-high-end brands with high roundness and high resilience.
Factor 2: Brush head styling
Compared with traditional flat brush heads, special-shaped brush heads such as round, diamond-shaped, crescent-shaped brush heads are more in line with the shape of tooth growth, so they have more cleaning edges, can penetrate deeper into the gingival grooves and interdental spaces, remove plaque and stubborn stains lurking in the depths, and have a stronger cleaning effect.
Factor 3: Hair density
That is, the density of the bristles on the brush head, which directly affects the amount of hair planting. Generally, the higher the density of hair grafting, the greater the amount of hair grafting, the wider the area of contact with the teeth, and the stronger the natural cleaning force.
Factor 4: Brush head size
Generally, the smaller the brush head, the easier it is to penetrate into the gap blind area on both sides of the tooth, but the overall time is long, and people who usually pursue high efficiency will be easy to lose patience and rush things, which is not conducive to dental health in the long run. The brush head is too large and it is not easy to brush the deep teeth on both sides, which can easily lead to tooth decay and tooth decay over time.
Assessment Results:
★★★★★ : Joy, Usmile
★★★★ : Usmile, Oral-B
As can be seen from the picture above, there are three kinds of brush heads, including soft, moderately soft, moderate three brush heads, three brush heads soft and hardness or hair cutting shape are different, can meet the brushing needs of each stage, Usmile and Oral-B have two kinds, brush head selection on the hardness are similar but the shape is different.
Electric toothbrush evaluation dimension 6: mode comparison
In order to adapt to the changing oral care needs, it is recommended to choose as many brushing modes as possible, but it should be noted that although many brushing modes are many, the vibration frequency span is not much change and still not very useful, and the compatibility is more concerned with the number of brushing modes, vibration frequency range and brush head selection.
Assessment Results:
15 modes: Joy
12 modes: Usmile
5 modes: Shuke, Philips, Bayer, Libod
4 modes: Sushi
3 modes: Oral-B, Mijia
We found that there are more than a dozen modes of Joy and Usmile, and the evaluation process also found that the vibration frequency span of Joy is wide and obvious, and the frequency span of Usmile is not obvious, and there are cases where different modes have the same vibration frequency; If you like multi-mode selection, you can choose the Joy Electric Toothbrush.
Electric toothbrush evaluation dimension seven: brush head price
Dimensional interpretation: brush head as a high consumable, need to be replaced every three months, we should also consider the subsequent use cost of the brush head when buying an electric toothbrush, it is recommended to give priority to the brand with low brush head cost.
Attached is a comparison of brush head costs of various brands of electric toothbrushes:
The above is all the content of this issue of electric toothbrush evaluation~ I hope that friends who are ready to start an electric toothbrush can read it carefully, don't blindly step on the pit! The recommended link of the electric toothbrush in this article should be read in detail, after all, the electric toothbrush is related to our oral health, it is very important to choose an electric toothbrush that suits you, and you must consider your oral condition and tooth tolerance when purchasing.
