Rating of the best toothbrushes from Aliexpress: TOP 12 brushes for cleaning teeth for every day

Oral hygiene is an important procedure to keep your teeth and gums healthy. Professional hygiene includes ultrasonic cleaning, cleaning teeth from plaque, polishing and grinding, etc. Of course, it will not be possible to carry out the entire range of measures regularly, but you should take care of your oral cavity every day - all you need to do is use toothpaste and a suitable toothbrush.

Toothbrushes are used to prevent diseases of the teeth and oral cavity. These include:

  • Plaque or tartar
  • Caries
  • Stomatitis, etc.

Regular brushing of your teeth also helps neutralize bad breath.

It is necessary to maintain oral hygiene from the first days of a child’s life, because healthy gums are one of the most important conditions for healthy teeth. During this period, it is recommended to use special pads (placed on the parent’s finger) or teethers. They gently massage the gums and bring relief to the baby. When your child has teeth, you can switch to regular children's toothbrushes - they have a small and comfortable handle and head. Teens and adults can use standard toothbrushes.

What types of toothbrushes are there? There are several classifications:

1) By class:

  • Manual
  • Electrical

Manual toothbrushes are the regular brushes we are used to seeing. They consist of a head with bristles, a handle and a neck connecting them. When using, you yourself set the direction of movement of the bristles and the intensity.

Electric toothbrushes can be divided into 2 types:

  • Mechanical
  • Sound

Electric toothbrushes have a motor that either moves the bristled head or vibrates. In the first case, plaque removal occurs mechanically, in the second - due to sound vibrations.

There are also ionic brushes. They have a special rod installed that creates negatively charged particles on the bristles. They attract positively charged plaque particles to themselves, removing it from the surface of your teeth.

2) According to the degree of stiffness of the bristles:

  • Soft
  • Average
  • Hard

Sometimes they also distinguish between very soft and very hard. Toothbrushes with soft bristles are designed for children. Brushes for adults usually have soft or medium-hard bristles. Stiff bristles are commonly used to clean removable dentures.

3) According to the bristle material:

  • Natural
  • Synthetic

Everything is simple here: brushes with natural bristles use natural materials, while brushes with synthetic bristles use artificial ones. At first glance it may seem that natural bristles are better, but this is not so. It absorbs moisture, is susceptible to bacterial growth and can break off. The same applies to the material of the handle - it is better to choose plastic than wood or bamboo.

Toothbrushes can also be classified by age (children, teenagers, adults), purpose (hygienic, periodontal, for cleaning dentures, etc.) and other criteria.

What to look for when choosing a toothbrush? Firstly, it depends on who will be using the brush. For babies, finger guards or teethers are suitable, for children - small brushes with very soft bristles, and for teenagers and adults - regular brushes. Secondly, pay attention to:

  • Type of bristles. Despite the presence of medium-hard and hard bristles, dentists recommend using soft bristles. Its effectiveness is slightly lower (you just have to brush your teeth a little longer), but it practically does not injure your gums.
  • Density of bristles. The denser the bristles, the better.
  • Head size. Optimally – 2-3 cm. The head should clasp 2 adjacent teeth.
  • The location of the bristles. It is best when the bristles are located at an angle or in several rows - this way you can better remove plaque.

Manual or electric? In terms of efficiency there is not much difference. An electric toothbrush will help you brush your teeth a little faster, but these brushes are much more expensive and you will have to replace the battery from time to time.

We invite you to familiarize yourself with a selection of 10 massage toothbrushes of various categories and prices.

How to choose a brush for a child

Dentists agree that it is necessary to start brushing a baby’s teeth from the very moment the first incisor comes out, so the issue of choosing a children’s brush for parents is very relevant.

Our expert says the first thing to consider is the age for which the brush is intended. The packaging of each product indicates the age range for which this brush can be applied.

The second issue that I would like to draw attention to is a comfortable, ergonomic handle so that the child can use it comfortably. That is, it should be relatively large, and the working head itself, on the contrary, should be small. If the child is not yet able to cope independently and hygiene is carried out by the parent, then the brush should be convenient for him as well. As for the level of stiffness of the bristles, the softer and fluffier the brush, the more comfortable the hygiene will be.

Comments

I’m just choosing a new toothbrush, I change them often and it’s always a problem to find a comfortable one. The rating of toothbrushes helped, it is difficult for me to find soft brushes, and these are the ones I always look for because... I have sensitive gums and a hard brush is not suitable at all, but I don’t like very soft ones either. I noticed the Curaprox Ultra Soft brushes. Namely, the Single & Sulcular mono-beam soft model, how well does it clean your teeth? What does multi-beam mean?

Ksenia (01/29/2019 at 12:02) Reply to comment

    Ksenia, Curaprox brushes are distinguished by a patented shape of bristles and their increased number. Yes, dentists usually do not recommend using soft and especially ultra-soft brushes, but not in this case. Due to their features, Curaprox brand products do a really good job of removing plaque, including removing it from under the gums.

Quite an interesting rating of toothbrushes, I mainly use an electric toothbrush from Oral-B and a regular one from the same company, I am satisfied with the quality. But I was interested in ultrasonic toothbrushes, but the price is a bit high. But I heard that you can’t use an ultrasonic brush all the time, is that really true?

Anna (01/29/2019 at 12:18 pm) Reply to comment

    Anna, there are many more restrictions for an ultrasonic brush than for a classic electric one - installed implants, dentures, crowns, and braces.

I'm interested in ionic brushes. How do you even use them? Are there any special features?

Lika (01/30/2019 at 12:23 pm) Reply to comment

    Dear Lika. There are no fundamental differences. To clean your teeth with an ionic brush, first make sure that the brush head is attached correctly and securely. Next, you need to first moisten the bristles with water, apply a little paste (some manufacturers claim that ionic devices help clean the enamel without applying paste at all, but we still recommend using it). You need to brush your teeth for at least 2 minutes in a row, but the pressure on the brush should be minimal. Repeat the procedure daily, morning and evening.

In my opinion, the Radius Original toothbrush is a bit expensive, why such a price? Because of the unusual shape or some special composition of the plastic? It does not deserve to be included in the ranking of the best toothbrushes.

Ekaterina (02/03/2019 at 22:24) Reply to comment

I read the rating of the best toothbrushes and immediately became interested in ultrasonic brushes. I brush normally, twice a day, but still tartar forms on my lower front teeth. Do these brushes help prevent its occurrence?

Yana (02/04/2019 at 01:09 pm) Reply to comment

This is the best rating of toothbrushes that I have ever seen. Basically I always use Colgate Premier or Oral-B PRO-EXPERT All in One. But recently I’ve been thinking about switching to electric ones. Is it really worth it and what is the difference between regular and electric toothbrushes? Are they really that good?

Christina (02/04/2019 at 17:24) Reply to comment

I constantly look at the ratings of the best toothbrushes before buying a new brush, and this happens every month. Is there any point in buying a “replica” or will it be far from the original?

Sveta (02/04/2019 at 18:02) Reply to comment

The rating of the best toothbrushes is headed by many companies that I have never heard of for the first time. If they are really that good, you should probably order them online. Does the quality of teeth cleaning still depend more on the brush or the toothpaste?

Olga (02/04/2019 at 18:12) Reply to comment

I’m used to trusting my own experience, so I have my own personal rating of toothbrushes. So far, I haven’t found a better budget and practical Colgate brush. I take medium hardness: it cleans well, there are ridges to clean the tongue. What's the point of paying more for a more expensive brand?

Olga (02/12/2019 at 10:20 am) Reply to comment

The rating of the best toothbrushes has become quite expected, but no matter how I go to the store, they are not there... if you order online, is there a chance of stumbling upon a fake? Many people want a good brush)

Anna (02/12/2019 at 01:36 pm) Reply to comment

The rating of the best toothbrushes is headed, of course, by Radius Original, I’ve been dreaming of buying it for a long time, but I can’t find it (Colgate “Premier” is good, but if you buy another brush from Colgate, the result will be different?

Key selection criteria

Since choosing a good brush is not easy, you need to approach this issue as responsibly as possible and understand what points you should pay special attention to. Below are the main criteria that you should follow when choosing the right option for yourself.

How stiff should the bristles be?

Toothbrushes vary in hardness. This indicator will definitely be indicated on the packaging. Let's consider the main varieties based on this criterion:

  • very soft - indicated for young children and adults with problem gums and sensitive enamel,
  • soft - recommended for sensitive gums prone to bleeding, as well as for people suffering from diabetes, women during pregnancy and breastfeeding. If the teeth and gums are in normal condition, it will not cope well with removing plaque and will not give the desired effect, so they also use it according to the indications of a specialist,
  • medium – a universal option for healthy teeth and mucous membranes,
  • hard - a suitable choice for smokers and those people whose lifestyle or professional activities lead to the formation of abundant deposits. Long-term use can cause hyperesthesia and bleeding gums,
  • very hard - these are special models that can be used to clean removable and fixed prosthetic structures or braces. It is not recommended to make a choice in favor of this option on your own - only as prescribed by a doctor.


It is important to pay attention to the stiffness of the bristles
. In general, when choosing a suitable model, you should rely on the opinion of a specialist. After examining and taking into account the patient's complaints, he will be able to determine which option is more preferable for this particular case.

Pile material

As mentioned above, it is better to choose specimens with artificial pile. Particles of plaque remain in the natural bristles, bacteria settle, which multiply quickly and can cause infection of oral tissues. In addition, natural hairs are too soft and cannot effectively remove plaque. At the same time, they are pointed at the ends, which can lead to scratches on the mucous membrane.

Models with artificial pile are usually made from nylon. The material undergoes special treatment, after which it becomes more resistant to the activity of harmful microorganisms.

Other criteria: size, performance characteristics, etc.

Bunches of bristles are located on the working area, and can be directed in one or different directions, be the same or different lengths. In this regard, several types of toothbrushes can be distinguished: one-, two- and three-level, as well as multi-level. A two-level model is considered a universal option, since it allows you to effectively remove plaque from all sides of the tooth. The size of the head also plays an important role. The optimal size will be small - up to 30 mm (covers 2-2.5 teeth)1.


There are several types of toothbrushes

Which toothbrush is better to buy?

Many people buy brushes with maximum hardness because they think that they remove plaque better. However, the dense bristles bend poorly, do not penetrate into the interdental space, scratch the enamel, and injure sensitive gums.

American and Canadian dentists recommend to patients only soft models that are more delicate to enamel and gums. However, to thoroughly clean the oral cavity, you will have to spend 3-5 minutes on the procedure. Russian doctors advise buying brushes of medium hardness, which are a kind of golden mean.

Lovers of natural products often look for products with real bristles among manufacturers' offers. However, synthetics do a much better job of removing plaque. In addition, such brushes are more durable and hygienic.

The size of the brush head should not be too large, otherwise it will be difficult to reach the distant teeth. It is also advisable to choose models with stubble no longer than 1.5-2 cm.

The price directly depends on the number of bristles on the head. Cheap models use thicker hairs. It is better to buy products with the thinnest bristles - they cause less damage to the enamel and mucous membranes.

Choosing a toothbrush: modern models, varieties, selection criteria

There is a huge variety of modern toothbrush models on pharmacy shelves, and this makes it somewhat difficult to choose the right option for yourself. Many are based only on external attractiveness or give preference to the model who appears in commercials more often than others. Today, this hygienic device is embodied in many different modifications and can have a variety of characteristics. Therefore, later in this article we will talk in detail about how to choose a toothbrush for an adult and a child, how hard it should be in your particular case.

Toothbrush Curaprox 5460 Ultra soft

The Curaprox 5460 Ultra soft toothbrush has soft bristles that gently cleans teeth of plaque. The thickness of each fiber is approximately 0.1 mm. The design of the model is quite simple, but what is important is ergonomic and comfortable. The cleaning head is compact in shape and easily cleans even the far corners of the mouth. The hexagonal handle fits comfortably in the hand. Ultra soft is a professional Swiss toothbrush that always lives up to your trust.

User reviews are clear - the model is ideal if gum sensitivity is off the charts. It gently but thoroughly cleanses the cavity while massaging. Improvements are noticed within a week after starting use.

Is it true that a toothbrush is a breeding ground for germs?

Sometimes on the Internet you can find alarming articles about how, after the first use, a huge number of bacteria remain on the toothbrush, making all subsequent teeth brushing hazardous to health. The British company Dentii went further and released toothbrushes with disposable heads, and along with them an advertising video that vividly describes how harmful it is to reuse the same brush.

In case the wave of panic that has already gripped the British reaches Russia, I remind you that bacteria, in principle, are constantly present not only on our brushes, but also in our mouths and this is normal.

Firstly, the microflora of the oral cavity in any case does not become sterile after brushing your teeth, and secondly, toothpaste contains antibacterial substances that inhibit the proliferation of microorganisms directly on the brush.

The most important rule: each person must have their own toothbrush; you cannot use someone else’s!

What are monobeam brushes?

Mono-tuft are professional toothbrushes in which the cleaning head consists of one bunch of bristles. It is used as an additional tool for cleaning corner teeth, and it is also mandatory to use it while wearing braces.

The main difference between a mono-beam brush and a regular one is the shape of the head, which in this case is round and small in size. The bristles here cannot be soft; they are either medium-hard or hard. The handle has a protrusion and the neck may be slightly curved. Professional single-beam toothbrushes do an excellent job of cleaning hard-to-reach places. They are indispensable during bite correction. It helps if you have dental implants or dentures.
