Product Information

So if you are looking for a decent cleaning but you want a gentler feel, then we recommend the Sensi Ultra Thin. If you like standard brush heads: Oral-B Trizone These specialty heads are designed to work around dental hardware to give a good cleaning. One of our testers wears braces, and she found that these special brush heads were the only ones from Oral-B that worked well on her teeth.

In our tests, the UltraThin performed better than its generic counterparts and the standard Sensitive Clean brush offered by Oral-B. Like the Cross Action, the bristles are set at an angle, 16 degrees, to provide for a better cleaning. In our test, we found that this brush head cleans as well, but still feels almost as harsh as the Cross Action despite Oral-B’s claims that the iO is gentler than their standard brushes. We would opt for the CrossAction for our daily clean, but if you want something a little less aggressive, but don’t need the Sensitive brush then this is a good middle option. Oral-B 3D White In our tests, the iO 7 in combination with the Ultimate Clean brush head did a very good job of removing plaque. It was still not as good as a Sonicare brush, but on par with the best standard Oral-B brushes. It also showed more cleaning action in our corncob/coffee ground test, removing more coffee grounds from the corncob than the Genius X with a CrossAction brush head. Gentle Care If you find that the CrossAction is too harsh for your sensitive teeth, you could try the sensitive mode on your handle, or try a softer brush head. We recommend the Sensi Ultra Thin.In addition to having a broad range of toothbrushes , they also offer an amazing number of brush heads. Generally, you probably don’t think much about which brush head you have on your toothbrush, but we think you should take a closer look. How we tested Prior to the release of the CrossAction, this was the most common, standard Oral-B brush. It is not angled like the CrossAction, and it provides a good cleaning that is slightly more gentle than the CrossAction. However, in our toothbrush tests, we did find that sonic brushes, like Sonicare, perform better for people with braces than any Oral-B brushes. Other brush heads Oral-B FlossAction

The CrossAction has angled bristles which seem to be able to clean between teeth better than flat bristles. The softer blue bristles on the outside spread out as you brush cleaning a lot of surface area for the small round head. They also act as indicator bristles to let you know when you need to change your brush head. Round brush head is inspired by dental professional tools for a tooth-by-tooth clean, with specially engineered bristles for optimal tooth coverage If you have orthodontics, then we recommend the Ortho brush heads. These are the only brush heads we found that will do any cleaning for those with braces. In our test, we found this brush head to be less effective than the standard Oral B Sensi Ultra Thin. The bristles are so soft, they failed to remove much plaque at all. And in our side by side egg test, the Gentle Care failed to remove stains from the egg, while the Ultimate Clean did a decent job. With that in mind, we struggle to recommend this brush head for anyone. The Trizone has a longer shape that is more like a manual brush. So if you are used to this feeling and you like a rectangular brush head, we suggest you give this a try.

We confirmed this feeling with our plaque tests and in our lab tests. We saw a clear difference in how much more plaque was removed with the CrossAction brush versus the SensiThin. We also saw how the CrossAction removed much more of the stains on eggshells when compared to any other brush head in the test. Through this research and testing, we have helped to narrow down the choices for you. The Best Oral-B Brush Head: CrossAction For the iO there are just two options available: iO Ultimate Clean and iO Gentle Care. Ultimate Clean This is a tool you use to clean your teeth, a fundamental part of your well-being. Do you really want to trust that to a no-name company just to save a few pounds? The idea is that this brush has an oval head with standard bristles combined with four yellow, longer rubber bristles that are supposed to reach between the teeth to dislodge food and other particles. However, even in their product description, Oral-B emphasizes that you should still floss after using this brush head, so it is not a replacement for flossing as the name might suggest.

Our tests were inconclusive as to whether or not this brush cleans between teeth any better than a standard brush head. It did not do as well in the plaque or lab tests as the CrossAction, but it does provide a slightly gentler cleaning action. In mid 2020, Oral-B launched a new line of electric toothbrushes called iO. This includes the iO 7, 8, and 9 series, and for these brushes, they created an entirely new line of brush heads. One of our testers had been using an Oral-B brush for over a year, and he had always used the sensitive “SensiThin” because of his sensitive teeth. But once we started testing, he tried different brush heads and noticed a major difference in cleaning between the sensitive brush and the other brushes. He settled on the CrossAction as the Oral-B brush head that cleans the most thoroughly.If you are switching from a manual brush to Oral-B, and you do not like the smaller, round oscillating brushes, this might be a good option for you. For those with orthodontics: Oral-B Ortho Care Essentials This is a decent brush that provides good cleaning, but we are not sure how much the yellow flossing bristles actually do. Oral-B Precision Clean To find out how well these brush heads cleaned, we performed home tests using plaque reveal pills as well as lab tests cleaning stained surfaces.

While Oral-B brushes are known for their smaller round heads that oscillate rather than vibrate, Oral-B has developed some brush heads that look and feel more like a standard brush head. With its wide array of brush handles and brush heads, sometimes the choices can be overwhelming. But if you look past all the generics, and focus only on the genuine Oral-B replacements, you will be guaranteed quality. If you want a great daily clean, we go with the CrossAction.In our tests, this brush cleaned very well, being just behind the CrossAction in both plaque and lab tests. It is very consistent in the results it gives, and it would make a good every day cleaning brush head.
