8 Reasons to Finally Upgrade From Your Manual Toothbrush

Brushing by hand is a good start. Here's what upgrading to sonic adds.

Co-created with 40,000+ dental professionals and clinically proven, the BURST Pro 2.0 does what your hand never could.

  • Cleaner: removes up to 10x more plaque than a manual brush*
  • Gentler: a pressure sensor that helps you to not damage your gums
  • Smarter: brushes the full 2 minutes, every single time

These are the 8 reasons people switch and never look back.

1. You'll remove up to 10x more plaque
Your hand can't keep up with a sonic motor.

With a manual brush, the work is all on you. The Pro 2.0's powerful sonic motor shares the load, clinically proven to remove up to 10x more plaque than a manual brush and reach the spots that are hard to clean by hand.

2. Bristles built to reach deeper
It comes down to the technology of the bristles.

Most brushes use blunt, flat-cut bristles that mostly skim the surface. The Pro 2.0's ultra-soft bristles taper to a fine point, so they slip further below the gumline and between teeth, where plaque hardens and gum disease starts.

"I thought my manual brush was doing the job. After switching, my whole mouth felt cleaner than it ever had."

3. You'll stop scrubbing your gums away
Brushing harder is the damage, not the fix.

Pressing too hard wears down enamel and pushes your gums back for good, and a manual brush gives you no way to know you're doing it. The Pro 2.0's pressure sensor lets you know when you're pressing too hard, so you can ease off and protect your gums.

4. You'll actually brush long enough
Most people quit at 45 seconds and never realize.

Dentists say two minutes; almost nobody makes it. The Pro 2.0 paces you with a gentle pulse every 30 seconds and grades how you did at the end of each two-minute cycle, so brushing the full time finally becomes automatic.

You've got the habit down. The Pro 2.0 upgrades the tool.

5. It's gentler on sensitive smiles
Powerful clean, soft touch.

If you have a sensitive smile, this is the upgrade for you. Ultra-soft tapered bristles and a dedicated Sensitive mode give you a thorough clean that stays gentle. Reviewers who've tried everything call it the gentlest electric brush they've used.

6. Kinder to your gums
A clean that's gentle on your gumline.

Removing the plaque that collects along your gumline helps support healthy gums. The Pro 2.0 is clinically proven to reduce gum bleeding up to 3x versus a manual brush.*

"My gums stopped bleeding within a few days and my last few check ups have been the best of my life."

7. It costs less than you'd think
Up to 9-month battery. $7-a-head refills. Years of life.

Premium electrics nickel-and-dime you on pricey replacement heads and tend to die within a year. The Pro 2.0 lasts up to 9 months on a single charge, with affordable refill heads delivered on your schedule, cancel anytime.

8. It's the brush hygienists use themselves
Designed with a community of 40,000 dental pros, not an electronics company.

Most electric brushes are built by consumer-electronics giants. The Pro 2.0 was co-created inside BURSTlabs by 40,000+ practicing hygienists and dentists, the people who actually treat gum disease, and clinically validated in two independent studies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who actually makes the Pro 2.0?

It was co-created inside BURSTlabs, the design lab where 40,000+ practicing hygienists and dentists shape every BURST product. They specified the soft tapered bristles, the real-time pressure sensor, and the $7 replacement head, then validated it across two independent 30-day clinical studies (up to 10x more plaque and 3x less gum bleeding versus a manual brush). Most electric brushes are designed by electronics companies. This one was designed by the people who treat gum disease for a living.

My gums seem fine. Do I really need this?

That's exactly why gum disease is so common. It's painless and invisible in the early stages, so feeling fine isn't proof your gums are healthy. The plaque below your gumline builds whether you can feel it or not, which is why removing it daily matters before there's a sign.

Can't I just brush more carefully with my manual?

A manual brush only cleans the surfaces its bristles touch, and brushing harder tends to damage your gums rather than clean deeper. The Pro 2.0's soft tapered bristles are designed to reach below the gumline and between teeth, places careful manual brushing still misses.

Will I get locked into a subscription?

No. The brush is yours. The only optional add-on is a fresh brush head for $7 every 12 weeks, which you can pause, skip, or cancel anytime. Heads need replacing anyway, so most people keep it, but it's your call.

I have sensitive teeth and gums. Will it hurt?

This is the most common worry, which is why the Pro 2.0 has a dedicated Sensitive mode, ultra-soft tapered bristles, and a pressure sensor so you never overdo it. Reviewers who call themselves sensitive types routinely say it's the gentlest electric brush they've tried.

Is $79.99 really worth it for a toothbrush?

One filling or deep cleaning costs far more than this brush. The Pro 2.0 is built to help you avoid that, and at $79.99 with $7 refill heads, it costs a fraction of a premium electric brush over its life.
