Triple Bristle Go Travel Sonic Toothbrush - AA Battery Charged, Portable for On The Go or Home - Three Powerful Cleaning Modes -Soft Nylon Bristles-Also For Autistic and Special Needs Adults and Kids

We used the triple bristle as tooth brush. Normal use. And after 5 month I can trow it away.

I’ve used a traditional single-head electric toothbrush for years and have always tried to follow the 2-minute rule, but honestly, even two minutes can feel long some days. I discovered this triple-head ultrasonic toothbrush and decided to give it a try, mainly because I liked the idea of brushing longer without actually spending more time. The biggest advantage is that the triple head cleans the front, back, and chewing surfaces at the same time. When you spend about 30 seconds on each quadrant, you’re effectively giving each surface far more attention than with a single head. In practical terms, it feels like you’re getting close to six minutes of brushing in just two minutes. I do still have my wisdom teeth, and that’s one limitation worth noting. Getting behind the very last molars is difficult with this brush, and rather than gagging, I still use my regular single-head electric toothbrush just for those back teeth. That combo works well for me. The included tongue scraper was a nice bonus. I had already realized I couldn’t brush my tongue effectively with this brush and was planning to buy a scraper anyway, so having one included was a welcome addition. The first couple of days, my gums bled slightly. I believe this is due to the angled outer bristles that point upward toward the gumline. I do have some gum recession, so I’m keeping an eye on that and plan to ask my dentist about it at my next visit. That said, I go for cleanings twice a year and consistently get told my gums are healthy with minimal bleeding during cleanings. One unexpected benefit: flossing. I’m admittedly not great about flossing daily—sometimes it’s more like once a week—and I usually pull out a lot of debris from between my molars. After about a week of using this brush, I flossed and there was almost nothing between my teeth. My teeth are very tightly spaced, so that was surprising. Finally, my teeth have noticeably whitened over the past week of use. I wasn’t expecting that, but the difference is real. Overall, this brush has made my oral care feel more thorough without requiring more time. It’s not a perfect replacement for a single-head brush (especially if you still have wisdom teeth), but used together, it’s been a very effective upgrade to my routine.

Need replacement heads to fit

As a practicing hygienist I was naturally drawn to the Triple Bristle toothbrush because it cleans the gumline automatically. It’s not that other brushes can’t do a good job too - I just found that people who use this three sided brush consistently come to their recall appointment with huge improvements in their gum health. I originally tried the main unit with rechargeable batteries but this one is more affordable for people who are on a tight budget and it does a great job as well. The only downside is that since batteries are not rechargeable you will have to replace batteries when you feel the vibration strength going down. It’s definitely a completely different way to brush. So to all of those people trying it for the first time I recommend that you approach it with an open mind: - Be prepared for some tickling and sensitivity for the first several days. You may also feel the occasional “zing” if the plastic touches your tooth. This goes away as you learn to use it. - Because it cleans more thoroughly and goes right into the gum line, it’s not uncommon to experience some bleeding and sensitivity. This is temporary and usually goes away after several days. Bleeding is a sign of inflammation so as you continue to use the brush you will note that the bleeding stops and your gum health will improve dramatically. - Unlike the original rechargeable unit, this unit comes with batteries that have to be inserted into the handle. This part can be a bit tricky. It closes very tightly so that water doesn’t enter the handle and it can be tough to open. When I called customer service they recommended using a coin (like a quarter) to open and close the bottom. I’ve had quite a few patients ask me about this so I am attaching a quick video about how to assemble this brush start to finish. - You don’t need to move the handle around very much. Just press it down on top of your teeth until it reaches the gums and allow the sonic vibration to do its job. A gentle up and down motion to brush the gums is as much as you should do. This toothbrush will help you brush better and faster. It covers all three sides of your teeth and brushes the gumline perfectly. Since the gum line is often where gum disease starts it can make a really big difference in your oral health. I highly recommend trying this brush if you struggle with dental disease - at this price point it’s really well worth it. Inna C. RDH

**ETA 12/24/23** We have gone through several of these toothbrushes, and they all have failed the same way each time. Specifically, the button cover becomes dislodged and falls out - then the physical button underneath quickly becomes too difficult to operate without it (or fails entirely due to water contact from being uncovered). I knocked this down from 5 to 4 stars due to this problem. Otherwise, while the device works, I maintain it's the best thing ever! We have multiple autistics in my household who have struggled for years with tooth brushing due to sensory issues. We have tried manual toothbrushes, and various types of electric toothbrushes with mixed results. Most recently we tried another type of electric triple headed toothbrush - which was a huge improvement over every other electric toothbrush out there...but was still an imperfect solution, because (1) the product came from China and took FOREVER to arrive, which meant getting replacement parts was going to be a huge ordeal, (2) the toothbrush felt gentle, but was very loud, and (3) the heads were a bit flimsy and the bristles wore out and broke off rather easily. I was so excited when I saw this brand hit the market, and waited anxiously to be able to try it, since the reviews claimed it was quiet and very effective. For myself personally, I felt like the vibration tickled only for the first 2 days; which was a super fast adjustment period for me. The first couple of days, I also honestly felt like I must be doing something wrong because it was so gentle, I felt like it hadn't done anything at all...except my teeth were squeaky clean! My kiddo also adjusted very quickly to this toothbrush, and it has been amazing for us both. This travel version made it more affordable for us to try out (the rechargeable version cost twice as much) - especially since we have rechargeable batteries of our own to use in this. The tongue cleaner which came with the kit is also amazing; I disliked every other tongue cleaner I've ever tried and I love this one; especially because it's super easy to keep clean. Also, the toothbrush heads come with a hard case for travel - which makes SO much more sense than including a huge bulky case for the entire toothbrush. I love everything about this product!!
