Part 2/8:
Rotating toothbrushes operate with circular brush heads that mechanically rotate to clean teeth. As a result, they mimic the motion used by professional dental hygienists during cleanings. Proper use involves methodically brushing each tooth individually, angling the brush toward the gums and carefully covering all surfaces of each tooth.
In contrast, sonic toothbrushes rely on sonic vibrations rather than rotation. These brushes typically resemble standard toothbrushes, but their advanced technology allows them to produce vibrations ranging from 15,000 to 60,000 per minute. This high-frequency motion helps to lift plaque and debris from tooth surfaces.
Techniques for Effective Use
The technique employed for each type of toothbrush significantly influences its efficiency.
