Toothbrushes
Studies have investigated the effectiveness of manual vs electric brushes and found that most patients do better with electric brushes. Electric brushes are also more convenient for most patients and do a better job when brushing time is minimal. However, we believe certain manual brushes can do slightly better when used properly with good technique. Our favorite two options are listed below.

Studies have shown that electric toothbrushes are more effective than manual brushes. The Sonicare DiamondClean is the best electric toothbrush on the market, incorporating many features to improve proper form and technique. This is especially important to get optimal results.
