Manual Toothbrushes

  • Standard Bristle—A traditional toothbrush with handle and bristles. It’s available in various bristle types (soft, medium, and hard) catering to different preferences and sensitivities.
  • Angled Bristle—Designed with bristles set at an angle. These toothbrushes can reach difficult-to-access areas.
  • Charcoal-infused Bristle—Touted as having natural antibacterial properties and potential teeth-whitening benefits.

Electric Toothbrushes

  • Rotary Electric—Features a rotating-oscillating head that helps remove plaque effectively. They often come with different cleaning modes, such as sensitive or massage, to suit individual needs.
  • Sonic Electric—Uses high-frequency vibrations to create dynamic cleaning action that can reach between teeth and along the gum line for a thorough clean.
  • Smart Toothbrush—Equipped with Bluetooth or app connectivity. Smart toothbrushes provide real-time feedback on brushing habits, helping users improve their technique. Some models even come with pressure sensors to prevent aggressive brushing.
