In our tests, the UltraThin performed better than its generic counterparts and the standard Sensitive Clean brush offered by Oral-B. It did not do as well in the plaque or lab tests as the CrossAction, but it does provide a slightly gentler cleaning action. Engineered to be softer on the teeth and gums, the bristles are softer and formed into a petal shapes for a more gentle movement along the gumline, tooth surface, in and around sensitive and inflamed areas.
