    Question What brand/type of toothbrush do you use?

    Since i've gotten braces, i've been using the Crest SpinBrush™ *see attached file below* until recently my batt. died. When i tried replacing it, the base just won't come out in order to have the batt. replaced lol. Honestly i've tried everything in my power to, but no luck. I must say it was very amusing watching my sister and her b.f. help get it out . I don't know if anyone have had this problem with their electric toothbrush . Anyway so I looked it up online and it has been reviewed that replacing the batt. is a bit tricky. Now don't get me wrong... the Crest SpinBrush™ works well and it's very reasonable-priced but to me it just not economical to replace a new one whenever the batt. dies. Any comments?

    Shame about your electric toothbrush Silvermist.

    We tell our patients to choose a toothbrush with a small soft head. Whether electric or manual ... whatever you find easiest.

    I personally use a cheap oral b electric toothbrush. It's a rechargable model and I've had it for four or five years.

    Good luck finding another good brush!
    After 5 years, 11 months and two days of stainless steel brackets ... my teeth now have upper and lower bonded, gold wire, retainers and removable clear retainers!
