The main difference (one we're SUPER proud of) is that the BURST Original Sonic Toothbrush was developed hand-in-hand with thousands of Ambassador Dental Professionals. Most competitors don't involve dentists and hygienists in the development stage; if they do, it's only a handful!

Because scores of literal professionals have put it through its paces, our brush combines impressive cleaning ability with a sleek design in an unrivaled dental hygiene product that mouths rave about. More differences:

1. One of the most powerful motors on the market: The BURST Original Sonic Toothbrush is clinically proven to remove up to 10x more plaque and is 3x more effective at reducing gum bleeding than a manual toothbrush.
2. Industry-leading battery life: The 700mAh lithium-ion battery is top-quality and lasts up to four weeks on one charge. Even when the brush is close to needing a power-up, you won't experience diminished vibrations or a compromised clean. Where other brushes start to lag, BURST keeps pace!
3. Unique hygienist-approved bristles: High-quality, super soft, black, multi-length, interdental-cut PBT nylon bristles whiten teeth as you brush. Dental professionals recommend soft bristles to prevent harm to gums and enamel.
4. Lifetime warranty: We stand by our brush because we know it's the best. While subscribing to our replacement brush heads, you'll always enjoy lifetime warranty protection. Have an issue? BURST Customer Service is always here to help!

Yes! The shower is actually where many of us at BURST HQ prefer to brush. BURST brushes can withstand being submerged under 3 feet of water for a maximum of 30 minutes with an IPx7 rating.

1. Why are soft bristles better? Dental professionals recommend soft bristles because they gently and effectively clean teeth and gums, whereas hard bristles can lead to gum recession and increased tooth sensitivity. Soft bristles are less likely to damage oral tissue while removing plaque and debris just as well.
2. Why do tapered bristles help get below the gumline? Tapered bristles have a point at the top to effectively penetrate below the gumline and between teeth. Almost like tiny, flexible toothpicks! The tapered design allows for a blend of stability and precision; the broader base of the bristle provides a sturdy foundation, while the slimmer tip removes plaque and debris from the tight spaces and crevices they love to hide in.
3. How do multi-length bristles help reach below the gumline while also polishing the enamel? Multi-length bristles add versatility to your clean! The longer ones gently polish tooth surfaces, while the short, more rigid ones scrub away dirt and grime from hard-to-reach areas. Those tapered short and long bristles also go below the gumline and between teeth simultaneously, increasing the efficacy of your clean in less time.

Yes. The soft bristles are perfectly safe with braces.
