Sonicare Elite 7800 The simple truth is all power toothbrushes are not created equal. Sonicare has patented sonic technology. Its bristle tips move 3 times faster than other leading power toothbrushes to create dynamic cleaning action. This powerful cleaning action directs fluids deep between teeth and below the gumline to help remove plaque where it hides and causes gum disease.

Ordinary manual toothbrushes merely only scrub the surface plaque, and no matter how hard or how much you brush, you may still not be removing the plaque that lurks in hard-to-reach areas. Clinical tests have shown the Sonicare toothbrush to be superior to a manual toothbrush by removing nearly twice as much plaque between the teeth. The Sonicare is different because it cleans with a combination of high speed (31,000 brush strokes per minute) and ultrasonic wave action to give you an indescribable clean feeling. Laboratory studies have shown this technology actually removes bacteria 2-3 mm beyond the bristles without touching the plaque itself! This is especially important when brushing the tongue.

Clinical studies have also shown this technology to remove over 80% of coffee, tea, and tobacco stains. You actually get whiter teeth! Sonicare is also very gentle on the gums and sensitive teeth. Because of its ultrasonic technology we have found the Sonicare toothbrush to be the most effective type of toothbrush for removing bacteria from the surface of the tongue. Its ultrasonic technology has the ability to dislodge the halitosis causing bacteria that typically remain deep within the taste buds themselves.

The Sonicare toothbrush is kinder on gum tissue and tooth structure than manual toothbrushes and most electric toothbrushes. The end result is less tooth and gum abrasion (receding gums), and less sensitivity. With age it is natural to develop gum recession, tooth abrasion, and root sensitivity, but by using the Sonicare toothbrush you will dramatically reduce the incidences of these problems.

Compared to all other electric toothbrushes, the Sonicare brands are superior in the clinical results they achieve, and in their durability.

High-Speed Brushing

Thanks to a built-in microprocessor, the Sonicare bristle tips move 3 times faster than other leading power toothbrushes - that's 100 times faster than you can brush manually. And these brush strokes aren't just high-speed - they also work in the dentist recommended back-and-forth motion.

The Benefits of using a Sonicare Toothbrush

Sonicare is personally used by more US dental professionals than any other electric toothbrush brand. What's more, there are over 10 million people who use Sonicare and love it

Naturally Whiter Teeth
Consider this fact over your next latte or coffee: The Sonicare toothbrush is clinically proven to significantly reduce coffee, tea, and tobacco stains in just 28 days*

Superior Plaque Removal
This is the most obvious reason to use a toothbrush, and all the more reason to use a Sonicare toothbrush. It is clinically proven to be significantly more effective than a manual toothbrush.

The new Sonicare Elite, with its superior cleaning technology, directs powerful cleaning action into hard-to-reach areas for 20% better plaque removal between teeth.

Healthier Gums
When plaque accumulates between the teeth and gums, it becomes an irritant to the gum tissues causing gingivitis, the most common form of gum disease. If the plaque is not thoroughly removed on a daily basis further progression of gingivitis can lead to periodontal disease and periodontal pockets. This is where Sonicare's combination of high-speed bristle motion and dynamic cleaning action comes to the rescue reaching deep between teeth and below the gum line.

In fact, Sonicare is clinically proven to reverse gingivitis and help shrink periodontal pockets. Sonicare also massages your gums stimulating blood circulation and dislodging plaque along the gum line.

Gentle Brushing:
Although it removes hidden plaque from hard-to-reach, high-risk areas, the Sonicare toothbrush is powerful, yet gentle on gums. Because of extra-soft bristles, and its gentle cleaning action, you can put a lot less pressure on your teeth and gums than you used to with a manual brush.

The new Sonicare Elite Brushhead has an extra gentle bristle design. Its precise combination of Soft, Extra-soft and Super-soft end-rounded bristles ensure deep, yet gentle cleaning.

Do you wear braces?
You'll be glad to know the Sonicare toothbrush has been clinically proven superior to manual brushes in reducing plaque and gum irritation around orthodontic appliances.

It's Sonicare's dynamic cleaning action that makes brushing with braces so easy. Its combination of high-speed and dynamic cleaning action generates a powerful, yet gentle cleaning force. This unique brushing action directs fluid deep between teeth, below the gumline and around brackets for a more effective clean.

No question Sonicare is ideal for orthodontic patients.

Suffer from dry mouth or Sjogren's syndrome?
You'll be glad to know the Sonicare toothbrush stimulates saliva, which helps to prevent infection and tooth decay.

Do you have dental implants?
The advanced cleaning action of the Sonicare toothbrush gets around posts and gums, and was shown in laboratory studies to be safe on restorations/crowns, cement, enamel and cementum.

Clinical Study by Sonicare

Sonicare Elite vs. Sonicare Advance vs. Braun Oral-B 3D Excel
Both Sonicare toothbrushes were found to be safe and effective in removal of supragingival plaque (plaque above the gums). In hard to reach areas, the Sonicare Elite was found to remove significantly more plaque than the Sonicare Advance. In the interproxmial spaces (between the teeth), Sonicare Elite removed 20% more plaque than Sonicare Advance tooth brush.

Both brushes were found to be safe on soft tissue and effective in removal of supragingival plaque. Sonicare Elite was found to remove significantly more plaque than a manual toothbrush.

Sonicare Elite toothbrush was shown to reduce biofilm thickness beyond the bristles. Sonicare Elite removed significantly more dental plaque biofilm 2-3 mm beyond the bristles than the Braun Oral-B 3D.

Sonicare Elite tooth brush was found to be gentle on dentin, and 4 times gentler than Braun Oral-B 3D Excel.
