As a dentist, I have seen the difference that electric toothbrushes can make for someone's dental health. Gums become firmer, bleed less and become less sensitive. The sonic vibrations also help to disrupt bacteria and create micro bubbles that get into places that manual toothbrushes can't reach. I am exposed to a variety of different electric brushes from several different companies. The Triple Bristle is the only one that makes brushing fool proof. You don't have to think about positioning the bristles properly for maximum effectiveness. The brush does it for you. That's why the 3 sided design is superior to all other brushes. I personally use it and recommend it to my patients because I know it will make a big difference in the health of their gums and teeth. Here are a few tips for people who are new to Triple Bristle based on some feedback from my patients: 1. It's a completely different way of brushing so be patient. It takes a bit of time (sometimes up to 2 weeks) to get used to positioning the brush head so that it doesn't tickle. As you use it longer and longer you will find that it does a great job and feels very comfortable in your mouth. 2. Even though you can brush for a shorter period with the Triple Bristle, I still recommend brushing the entire two minutes so that you get the same benefits as brushing 6 minutes with a conventional toothbrush. 3. Use a toothpaste that isn't overly abrasive. Look up the toothpaste abrasiveness value when picking a toothpaste and make sure it's below 70. An abrasive toothpaste can remove enamel if used for long periods of time. 4. Read the manual that comes with the toothbrush. It has a lot of great information that can help with your oral health. 5. Continue to floss or use some sort of interdental cleaning device. No toothbrush can completely replace flossing or cleaning between teeth (not even if they claim that it does). 6. This sonic toothbrush is especially beneficial for people with a history of gum disease, lots of dental restorations, special needs, dexterity issues or anyone who wants to have an easier time brushing their teeth properly. I give this product my full endorsement and once you try it, you'll understand why. Happy Brushing! Elijah Jung DMD Read more
Like the quality and it does a great job on my teeth. Easy to use and it much better than a standard brush. Like the triplebristle between you teeth and dental floss. Read more

Unfortunately, I made the mistake of buying two of these toothbrushes because I love the first one so much. Well the toothbrush works wonderfully and leaves my teeth feeling like I went to the dentist— the plastic piece the replacement head attaches to has broken — not once, but twice, I’m both my battery powered and rechargeable toothbrush. The design is faulty. The toothbrush heads have gotten stuck to the plastic piece and are hard to yank out. The plastic is so flimsy it ihas cracked and broken so that the whole unit is unusable. I am somebody that is environmentally conscious, so it feels like such a waste. I’m going to reach out to the company and see if this is something that they can work on in the future. It is a huge disappointment. I wish they made a battery/electric free toothbrush with the same heads. I would love to use a regular old fashioned toothbrush just like this. At this point, I have given up using rechargeable and battery powered toothbrushes. If they can work on a plastic free design… Perhaps a metal piece instead of a plastic piece for the replaceable bristle heads to attach to, this would be a fabulous product. Read more
This is the recommended toothbrush for our autistic grandson by his dentist! We have been using them for the past 5 years Read more
2022 update: switching away from triple bristle. After the first brush was broken by trying to remove a head, I had taken to drilling out the replacement heads so they could fit the stem without breaking it. Was a bit of a hassle. I also question the quality of the brush. It vibrates but is it providing good gum care and teeth cleaning? It feels quantity over quality. When it died, I had no interest in buying a new one. It looks like water got into it which probably fried it. I went with a bit more expensive alternative, not three bristles but a much deeper clean, I can definitely feel the difference. Update. Two stars upgraded to 4. You can see from the picture that the head snapped off. They were always snug into the stem and required a lot of force. Removing the heads daily between two users inevitably was too much for it. That said, I reached out to customer service, they had me complete a Warranty Claim (triplebristle.com/pages/warranty-claim-form) and they replaced it free of charge. We had to use our old, mundane electric toothbrush while this was broken and it just isn't the same. So as a cleaning device, high marks! Just a design flaw that makes it break easily. Hopefully it is fixed in later updates. Original, outdated review below: This was (RIP) a pretty effective deep cleaning tool. I've been on the electric toothbrush bandwagon for at least a decade now and after switching to this triple headed monster, my teeth have never been cleaner. I use it for the full two minutes (on max power of course) so yeah, I get an effective SIX minutes of brushing. Anyway, we always found it to be onerous to switch the heads. I went so far as to lubricate the stem, thinking a little wear would eventually ease it on and off. As you can see, rather than eventually smooth out, it sheared clean off after a very brush-eager wife put a little too much English on it. Read more
