Melody,

All electric toothbrushes work similarly. The mechanical concept is the same in that the vibration of the bristles against the tooth and gum helps to remove plaque and all models use very soft bristle brushheads. The vibration, size/shape and direction of the motion of the toothbrush head differ from one manufacturer to another. The ones that cost the least have the least bells and whistles. Do you need the brush to do more than remove plaque.... not really. It's like anything else, people choose what is most comfortable for them to use.

I know, it doesn't have the bells and whistles and smiley faces, but is this true?

Do the Triumph and the Spinbrush and the cheaper electric toothbrushes, well do they do the same job as the one I just bought?

Thanks
