My wife bought new toothbrush heads on her way home from work today.

They didn’t fit. She bought the “Oral B IO” heads, but we have a “regular” Oral B toothbrush, not the Shiny Fancy IO design.

And this is after she bought replacement heads last week at another store – which turned out to be “compatible for” a different brand :(

Ugh.

        Excuse me? Can you elaborate on this comment? Because it sounds to me like you are actually resorting to ad hominems right now, in a calm and non-polarized discussion about toothbrushes.

        Please tell me I’ve misunderstood.

          Oh gosh no, not doing that at all. I was just suggesting that maybe you’re not getting recommended to use an electric toothbrush because you might have other teeth issues that may not be fixed by an electric toothbrush (like weak enamel or damaged teeth), or won’t benefit from it at least.

            😆👍 My bad, I thought it did sound weird that you’d do that, so I wanted to double-check. Sorry!

            Yeah, I don’t know, I don’t think so. I don’t have any issues other than the one cavity I got as a teenager some twenty odd years ago. So my deduction from this alone is that the toothbrush itself isn’t the biggest factor, but rather how you brush.

            Could be wrong though of course. I need to take a look at some studies to determine if they accounted for brushing technique and other factors.
