Sonicare

I have been using my sonicare for last 5 years and I love it!
Especially when I had my braces for almost 3 years, Sonicare was my lifesaver. 
Anyone who had braces and tried to brush with a manual brush, you would understand what I mean. :) 
For my patients, I do recommend to use any type of electric brush rather than using manual if they need extra help in plaque removal.

Here are some helpful links about Sonicare brush!
