why do some toothbrushes cost hundreds of dollars? What exactly are they doing that makes them so much better?

Question

You can get a manual toothbrush for $1 or some fancy electric toothbrush for over $200. Can it really be cleaning your teeth that much better?

Answer 1

I have a sonicare, probably cost like $60 and every several months I buy a pack of new heads for about $15. I’m a fan, my teeth feel much cleaner with it than with a manual toothbrush. Regardless, whether it’s $60, $100, or $200, if a fancy toothbrush prevents literally 1 dental procedure, it’s paid for itself. That’s my logic.
