Undesirable trends: Towards the development of Internet celebrity
Now many brands are developing in the direction of Internet celebrity, compared to the study of the electric toothbrush itself, businesses are more keen on the marketing hype of electric toothbrushes, relying on celebrity endorsements, Internet celebrities and other ways to attract consumers, but due to the general lack of professional technical precipitation of this kind of electric toothbrush, the tooth injury rate is more than 3 times higher than that of professional electric toothbrush brands, and users often have tooth bleeding, toothache and other tooth problems after use.
Undesirable trends: Product compatibility is generally poor
The oral environment of Chinese people is more complex and changeable, and it is more necessary to use electric toothbrushes with high compatibility, but unfortunately most of the products on the market have poor compatibility, and there is a list of brush head types.
1. The narrow span of the vibration frequency range and the small number of gears make it difficult for electric toothbrushes to adapt to the complex and changeable oral environment of Chinese people, and it is easy to cause tooth damage after use.
Undesirable trends: Fight the ** war
In order to maintain the low price of electric toothbrushes without affecting profits, businesses will choose to excessively compress production costs, and the selection of materials can be saved, such as coreless motors, bristles that have not been rounded, etc. are commonly used components in products here, the quality of electric toothbrushes is not guaranteed, and the safety is also very low.
Undesirable trends: The degree of professionalism is generally low
Many cross-border brands and Internet celebrity brands have poured into it to see the good development momentum of the electric toothbrush industry, such brands have been in the industry for a short time, and there is not enough oral care experience and professional technology precipitation, electric toothbrushes are generally processed and made in the form of OEM processing, which is not only very poor in use, but also easy to hurt teeth.
3. Learn the eight skills of Xi and rationally buy an electric toothbrush
Can electric toothbrushes cause damage to teeth?In order to allow everyone to buy a high-quality and professional electric toothbrush that suits you and stay away from the harm of inferior electric toothbrushes, I have summarized eight tips for you to buy an electric toothbrush, come and take a look!
TricksChoose products with long battery life
We should choose an electric toothbrush with strong battery life, which can be used continuously for at least 30 days, if the electric toothbrush we use has a poor battery life, we have to charge the electric toothbrush frequently, not to mention the trouble, it is easy to accelerate the loss of battery life!
Tricks, buy a professional electric toothbrush brand
In the more than 100 parameters that affect the core performance of electric toothbrushes, such as the balanced stability of the vibration frequency, the deviation value of the vibration sweeping angle, and the roundness of the bristles, only professional electric toothbrush brands are willing to spend a lot of time and money to repeatedly adjust and optimize, and the tooth injury rate is more than three times lower than those of unprofessional electric toothbrush brands
TricksBuy a brand with good after-sales service
It's best to buy a brush head replacement ** suitable electric toothbrush brand that can be returned or exchanged for 7 days without reason!For example, the 7-day trial service is very practical, which allows consumers to try whether the electric toothbrush is good or not, and then decide whether to stay.
TricksPay attention to the quality of the brush head
There are many technical details on the brush head of an electric toothbrush, including the bristle planting rate, bristle hardness, size, etc. For example, if the size of the brush head is too large and the flexibility is poor, it is difficult to brush the gingival sulcus, wisdom teeth, tooth gaps and other details, but the brush head size is too small and not good, which will reduce the cleaning efficiency.
TricksDo not buy violent cleaning products
In order to attract attention, some brands will choose to over-pile up parameters, deceive consumers under the banner of super cleaning power and rapid whitening of teeth, and the vibration frequency of electric toothbrushes has even reached forty or fifty thousand, but in fact, such a high vibration frequency is likely to bring damage to the mouth, and this kind of electric toothbrush often lacks technical support for tooth and gum protection, and the rate of tooth injury is very high!It is best to choose products with a vibration frequency between 25,000-40,000 times.
TricksSonic electric toothbrushes are more recommended
There are two main types of electric toothbrushes: rotary and sonic type, although the cleaning power of the rotary electric toothbrush is not bad, but it is easy to hurt the gums and teeth, it is recommended that you use the sonic electric toothbrush, the cleaning power of this kind of electric toothbrush is also good, and the degree of tooth protection is higher, the noise is low, and the brushing experience is also better.
TricksThe compatibility of electric toothbrushes should be good enough
The oral environment of Chinese people is very complex, so everyone needs to use high-compatibility electric toothbrushes with a large power intensity span, multiple gears, and rich brush head types. For example, the type of brush head, products with good compatibility often have a variety of brush heads such as cleaning brush heads, orthodontic brush heads, and tooth protection brush heads, which can meet the various oral cleaning needs of users.
TricksThe sweeping angle should not be too large or too small
The scanning angle of the electric toothbrush is best between 3-9 degrees, if the sweeping angle of the electric toothbrush is more than nine degrees, the irritation to the gums and teeth is relatively strong when brushing, and it is easy to hurt the teeth, but the electric toothbrush with the sweeping angle is too small is not good, and the general cleaning power will be poor.
Although many electric toothbrush businesses on the market are advertising their products that do not hurt teeth, in fact, there are very few products that can do not hurt teeth, and most of them are tooth-hurting goods. So how do we distinguish the false claims of electric toothbrush merchants?In order to help you make a more scientific purchase decision and buy an electric toothbrush with strong performance and no damage to your teeth, I specially collected the core data evaluation results of 22 electric toothbrushes at different prices released by the authoritative dental forum, and I also found several products worth starting for you based on my own experience.
Among the large number of electric toothbrush brands reviewed in the past,As a recognized pioneer in the field of "not hurting teeth" in China, FILIX is undoubtedly the best comprehensive performance and professional tuning in this fieldIt is also the main model that I have used for the longest time, it is a rare electric toothbrush with a medical background and strict medical research and development standards, and it is also the only brand that has been certified by the European Union, the United States and other countries!NowIt has launched the third generation of upgraded new products, pioneering research and development of eight major performance and tooth-friendly black technology, top-notch cleaning power and 89% reduction of damage, and rare EU certification!The power is very strong, but the attenuation is very low, and the vibration frequency stability is extremely high!It is the first brand in the industry to provide orthodontic brush heads, and the dental compatibility of complex people in China is great!The reason why we can achieve super comprehensive performance is to focus!Dead professional!There are no redundant functions, no large number of models, just a product for several years, iteratively upgraded more than 20 versions!Optimized more than 300 details!After 6 years of anti-attenuation testing, it has achieved 6 years of comprehensive performance, durability, tooth and gum damage rate certification, and the non-toxic and corrosion resistance of the bristles has been improved by 983%, safer and non-toxic!
It has pioneered eight "high-performance non-tooth-harming" black technologies, such as approved vibration frequency technology, innovative gingival high-frequency array massage technology, DPP micro-frequency dynamic compensation technology, etc., and has been adjusted and optimized for more than 100 items such as long-term attenuation, deviation value and vibration sweeping angle of vibration frequency, so as to ensure that the deviation value of various performance indicators for more than 6 years is not higher than 01%, almost never advertised, but because of the strong recommendation of many dentists, the sales of offline channels have skyrocketed and are often sold out. Compared with many brands, Huile fights for beauty and low price, and it is recognized for its rigorous medical research and development of electric toothbrushesBecause the brush is clean and does not hurt teeth, many celebrities and celebrities use it, and dentists recognize that it is very protective of teeth!
Also Philips is ok,The brand is relatively famous, the workmanship quality is OK, and the cleaning power is OK. If you pursue cost-effectiveness,Among the low-priced products, you can take a look at Bayer and Shuke,The basic configuration parameters and functions are quite passable, and the brush head is about 20 yuan.
