This is all nice information to have if you're trying to improve your oral hygiene and looking for areas to get better but for the most part, a standard toothbrush timer is enough to make sure you're brushing long enough in all areas of your mouth. The Smart toothbrush, however, does include a few more perks, including an app that tracks brushing duration, top and bottom coverage, strokes per minute, average acceleration. Quip's minimalistic toothbrush includes no additional features. The Sonicare ProtectiveClean 4100 and Quip electric toothbrush both have a two-minute timer with 30-second intervals that signal you to move to the next quadrant of your mouth - so they both pass Dr. He noted that two minutes typically provides adequate time to thoroughly brush each tooth surface. "The bristles of the brush should effectively contact the surfaces of the teeth for an adequate amount of time so that the dental plaque/biofilm can be brushed off," Dr. If I could, I would combine Quip's overall aesthetic with Sonicare's smaller brush head. Ritter explained, "As a general rule, the brush head should be small enough to reach the back teeth without difficulty." While I could reach my back teeth with both brushes, I definitely got a better angle on those hard-to-reach areas with Sonicare's smaller brush head. The toothbrush is only available in plastic but comes in a lot of color options: white, mint, deep pink, navy blue, turquoise, pastel pink, and black and white.īecause Sonicare's brush head is smaller than Quip's, it's slightly easier to reach rear molars for most people. The ProtectiveClean 4100 also comes with a small, clear cover for the brush head.
The Sonicare ProtectiveClean 4100 has a wider and bulkier base compared to Quip, but this only comes into play when you're traveling this wider base is actually very convenient at home as the brush doesn't need the case to stand on the countertop.
QUIP PINK METAL TOOTHBRUSH MANUAL
For travel, the case also fits over the brush head, which is similar in size to a manual toothbrush and larger than the Sonicare brush head. Because the bottom of the brush is rounded, it won't stand on its own, so it always needs to be either laid flat on the counter or returned to its case. The handle on Quip is thin, round, and smooth, and it slides nicely into a case that sits on the countertop or sticks to the mirror.
It comes in three plastic colorways (green, blue, and white) and five in metal (silver, slate, copper, gold, and black). Quip offers a sleek and minimalistic design, something I didn't even know I needed in a toothbrush until this was in my hands.
QUIP PINK METAL TOOTHBRUSH SERIES
I decided to test the 4100 series for this comparison, as it most closely compares to Quip's offerings. Philips, meanwhile, has long been a leader in the industry with its Sonicare line and offers many electric toothbrush options. What Quip lacks in options it makes up for with simplicity and minimalistic design. The smart option has the benefit of tracking brushing sessions and learning your habits, including how long you brush and your average brushing acceleration. Quip offers two options: A standard electric toothbrush and a smart electric toothbrush. Not only do both brands offer their own take on an affordable and effective brush but their products have proven to be an ideal way to keep your teeth clean - in addition to daily flossing, of course.
Two of the most popular companies selling electric toothbrushes right now are Quip and the Sonicare line from Philips. As the industry for electric toothbrushes continues to grow, so, too, does the variety of brushes and the brands that offer them.
Ritter, DDS, Ph.D., professor, and chair of the Department of Cariology & Comprehensive Care at NYU Dentistry, told Insider. Though using a manual brush is a time-honored method for doing this, using an electric toothbrush is a much more thorough process, André V. Brushing your teeth does more than just keep your pearly whites clean - it also works to remove plaque and biofilm while stimulating your gums, both of which help prevent issues like gingivitis or cavities.
