Difference Between Sonicare Toothbrushes

Philips Sonicare, commonly referred to solely as “Sonicare” is a high quality electric toothbrush manufacturer that produces a variety of toothbrush models designed for personal, home use. Depending on a consumer’s dental hygiene wants and needs, Sonicare offers different toothbrushes each designed with a specific use in mind. The high quality of Sonicare products distinguishes them from other, somewhat similar dental health products suitable for home use.

Sonicare’s Flagship Model

The ‘2 Series Plaque Control’ is Sonicare’s simplest and most affordable toothbrush for home use by adults. Relatively cheap, and less than half the price of the next best Sonicare product, the 2 Series helps manage plaque, reducing 6x the amount of a manual toothbrush. Such plaque reduction both keeps teeth feeling fresh and clean, as well as helps to protect teeth from food-based decay. Plaque reduction further aids Sonicare users in prohibiting the development of cavities, especially in hard to reach places towards the back of the mouth. Beginning users of the 2 Series Plaque Control will find the Easy-Start feature an easy way to ease into use of an electric toothbrush. By slowly increasing the power of the toothbrush over the first 14 days, the 2 Series prevents unnecessary harshness on teeth not used to an electric toothbrush. For individuals interested in maintaining their dental hygiene and protecting the benefits of a great smile, the 2 Series Plaque Control Sonicare is an excellent option at a more than affordable price.

More expensive than the 2 Series, but also offering greater tooth protection and exceedingly high quality craftsmanship, the FlexCare Platinum offers consumers a professional level toothbrush in the mid-upper price range. Benefits of the FlexCare Platinum include seven times the plaque removal of a manual toothbrush, and built-in pressure sensor alerts let users know when they are brushing their teeth which too much force. In addition to excellent plaque removal, the FlexCare Platinum aids in gum protection by preventing gum recession and fighting gingivitis, both of which are crucial steps in protecting one’s teeth. Apart from the FlexCare’s health benefits, the toothbrush offers three different modes for enhanced comfort. Within each of these modes, three intensity settings offer further optimization of cleaning and comfortableness.

Premium Model

The highest quality toothbrush FlexCare offers, the DiamondClean, is also the company’s most expensive. Similar to the FlexCare platinum, the DiamondClean offers seven times the plaque removal of a manual toothbrush. Advantages over the FlexCare and 2 Series Plaque Control include a dual charging system and five separate modes. The five modes, Clean, Gum Care, Sensitive, Polish, and White offer users exceptional control over their own dental health. The DiamondClean also offers the immediate advantage of visibly whitening teeth in less than two weeks, an effect that almost no other toothbrushes commercially available for personal use can replicate. Finally, as mentioned before, the DiamondClean’s dual charging system offers users the option between charging in a USB charging station or in a charging glass.
