Oral-B have introduced a range of brush head styles with what they refer to as ‘cleanmaximiser bristles’.

Depending on which Oral-B electric toothbrush you have or are looking to opt for will depend on the cleaning modes available. Personal opinion is most certainly going to influence the thought about each. You might get different feelings and results when compared to my everyday use. Existing brush heads from Oral-B are not compatible with the iO and the iO brush heads do not fit to or work with other Oral-B toothbrushes. The sensitive brush head is best suited to the sensitive and gum care cleaning mode whilst the 3D white brush head is best partnered with the whitening cleaning mode. Whilst not as soft as the Sensitive brush head, the bristles have more movement and are not as stiff as the CorssAction head.A new design is somewhat frustrating for existing Oral-B electric toothbrush users, but there are some benefits too. After each brushing session, remove the brush head and thoroughly rinse both the brush head and the handle under running water. It is possible to share a toothbrush handle with another user, providing each user has their own brush head.

Each of these have potential advantages based on your specific needs. CrossAction is a good general clean option whilst the FlossAction is advantageous if you particularly suffer with plaque build up in between teeth. The polishing cup is designed to mimic the dentist tools that buff the tooth surface, and remove stains, to be bright and white, whilst the bristles brush away plaque on the tooth surfaces, in interdental spaces and along the gumline. I explain all the different heads in detail below to make it easy for you to understand which one to opt for. larger tufts of bristles create a rounded edge to this small circular brush head. They are made up of 3 different coloured bristles (white, lilac and dark blue). The brush head is small and round with tufts angled at 16 degrees to be most effective in the clean, but to also sweep away plaque from the gumline.These top bristles move left to right when connected to the brush handle and do so in perfect harmony with the 3 rows of white bristles on the head. That inner circle of bristles is made up of an outer ring of blue bristles with some white ones in the centre. They are cut to the same height as the petals, sitting a little lower than the outer bristles on the head. 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. With very few exceptions, all the different Oral-B brush heads work with the different Oral-B brush handles. This was the brush head of choice and the default brush head supplied with most brushes from Oral-B, before they introduced the CrossAction brush head.
