Advantages: Comfortable to use

Disadvantages: Heads wear out quickly, not that easy to use properly

The Oral B Ultra Plaque remover is not quite all it's cracked out to be. I used to think that a quick push around my mouth and my teeth would be sparkling clean as the brush would do all the work. However, whilst browsing at the replacement toothbrush heads, I came across some disclosing tablets. These are red tablets that you chew turns your mouth bright red and shows up the places you have missed. I bought some out of curiosity and tried them out with my electric toothbrush.

Firstly, I chewed the tablets and brushed my teeth as normal with my electric toothbrush. I then looked at my teeth and found that it hadn't done such a great job after all. I was a bit shocked!

I then brushed my teeth again and had to apply quite a bit of pressure. This is not recommended by Braun, but it was the only way to remove the dye particularly on the molars and premolars. It wasn't just a matter of letting the brush do all the work. It also took more than the timed 2 minutes. It took about 4 minutes.

This is a bit disappointing because the toothbrush heads don't last very long using it in the way Braun recommends. If you want to clean your teeth properly it's going to be a very expensive business as about £3.50 -£4.00 a replacement head. It would only last about 1 month.

Apart from that, the toothbrush works well, but only if you use it properly and with greater pressure.
