But the question is, are electric toothbrushes better or is it all just for show? We’ve done all the research so you don’t have to!

Electric Toothbrush Benefits

The main benefit to using electric toothbrushes is how well they remove plaque build up which has been proven by multiple studies. The best type of electric toothbrushes for this purpose are the ones that have a rotating feature as opposed to just having vibrating bristles.

Another benefit to using an electric toothbrush as opposed to a manual alternative is that it takes the effort out of brushing your teeth as it basically does the work for you. This is also helpful for those who have trouble brushing their teeth due to disabilities or arthritis etc.

Remember those super fancy toothbrushes we were talking about earlier? There is actually method to their madness as some models (such as the Oral B Genuis X ), which automatically slows your brush speed and alerts you if you are brushing too hard.
