Advantages: Easy to use, makes cleaning teeth fun, wireless display very useful, best toothbrush available.

Disadvantages: It seems expensive for a toothbrush, but easily worth any amount of money.

I couldn't recommend this toothbrush too highly. It is the best toothbrush I've ever owed, and will never clean my teeth with any other toothbrush ever again!!

The unique wireless timer display puts the fun back in cleaning your teeth. The toothbrush can be used without the display, but you miss out on alerts, such as when you're brushing too hard and when it's time to change the head on the toothbrush. and makes sure you're doing a proper job by cleaning each quarter of your mouth equally thoroughly. It has a wide range of options, but I find it works fine on default settings.

On default settings it allows 30 secs for each of the four quarters of your mouth, so a total of the recommended 2 minutes brushing. The circle on the right shows which quarter you should be brushing, from top right to bottom right to bottom left and finally top left. After 2 minutes brushing a smiley face appears in the middle!! The batteries for the display have lasted about a year, but as it uses 2 AA batteries they are easily replaced. While you're not using the tooth brush the display shows the current time, which requires setting when new batteries are inserted, using the two switches underneath the battery cover.

The toothbrush is one of the best toothbrushes you can buy. The battery life is good, lasting about a week without a recharge. Charging is done by placing the toothbrush in the charging cradle. Obviously it is safe to use in the bathroom, and uses a 2 pin shaver plug to power the charger. It's probably best to keep it with a reasonable level of battery life (shown on the display on the front of the toothbrush), as this will enable you to have the highest level of cleaning. The toothbrush can do 40,000 pulsations and 8,800 side to side movements every minute, which is why it is a brilliant toothbrush. It is much more effective than cleaning your teeth with a manual toothbrush, as 40,000 pulsations a minute is impossible by hand!!

As mentioned earlier the display alerts you when it's time to change the head on the toothbrush to ensure optimal cleaning performance. The heads are available at most chemists and supermarkets and also online. It's worth looking out for deals, as the heads can be quite expensive. I would recommend buying genuine Oral B heads, as these are far better quality than cheap compatible heads. They may seem expensive, but offer much better cleaning, and also they include sensors, to alert you when your brushing too hard (red light / picture on wireless display).

The 9900 also has 4 different brushing modes to accompany the 2 different heads included. I use it on the default cleaning setting, but there are options for Sensitive teeth, Massage and Polish. The 2 included heads are for Advanced Floss action (for everyday deep cleaning) and the ProBright for occasional polishing.

Overall I think the 9900 Professional is brilliant. It is very reliable and simple to use. Oral B really have thought of everything! They include a travel case for the toothbrush, which stops it getting turned on during transport, and also a sticker for wall mounting the wireless display. The manual is helpful, and includes brushing tips, personalizing the timer, smart guide display info, deactivating the radio transmission (for use in planes or hospitals!) and much more. There are also instructions on synchronizing two toothbrushes to two different displays to avoid interference, but I use one display between two toothbrushes, and its fine as long as you use it one at a time!

This toothbrush has really improved my oral hygiene. My dentist even recommends this toothbrush, even though she's not meant to recommend any toothbrushes!! I would give this toothbrush six star rating if Dooyoo would let me!!

Summary: A fantastic toothbrush that has saved my teeth! It's great fun but also very effective!
