Oral b triumph is the most popular among the oral b electric toothbrushes. Oral b triumph 9900 is the newer version of most popular oral b professional care smart series 5000 rechargeable toothbrush. Sonicare launched their one of the most advanced power electric toothbrush- flexcare.

We'll compare here oral b 5000 vs philips sonicare flexcare.

Both oral b and sonicare have almost equal cleaning ability. The oscillatory movement of oral b brush head and vibrating of sonicare helps breaking of plaque and ensures better cleaning then ordinary electric toothbrush or even manual brushing, because oral b brush head oscillates 40000 strokes/min and sonicare a 30000/minute. This frequency is impossible with manual brushing. So definitely Rechargeable electric toothbrush is superior.

Naturally the question comes now about whether this oscillation rate can damage teeth & gums or not. No, no damage or teeth and gums. How? These power toothbrushes have pressure sensor. These will give alarm if you brush too hard indicating pressure should be reduced. Oral b triumph even slows down its oscillation & pulsation with hard pressure. If pressure is harmful, it stops oscillation & pulsation. This is where oral b is superior. Sonicare also helps gum protection by a different mode known as "Sensitive" mode. By this mode, sonicare tries to take more care of your gums.

About cleaning and removing plaque, sonicare flexcare is superior to oral b rechargeable toothbrush. With the three brushing mode sonicare beats oral b and even sonicare elite power toothbrushes.

Now come to the comparison of outlook. Sonicare bursh heads are little bit larger. Oral b brush bristles have color which fades away with time indicating the need of changing brush head. It's recommended to change brush head every 3 months. On the other hand sonicare flexcare has UV sanitizer for the brush heads to kill the remaining bacteria. This feature may a little bit trouble some as you'll need to keep the brush head in the sanitizer every time by disconnecting it from brash handle. You can also avoid using this feature. Thorough washing is almost sufficient.

Oral b has smart guide which is equipped with wireless remote display which shows visual alert for pressure sensor, brush head change alert, visual guide for brushing four quadrant, time tracking. This feature helps a person to easily follow instruction that means user friendly.
