How does a sonic toothbrush work?

Among the many types of toothbrushes currently available, we can choose from manual, electric, and sonic toothbrushes. Many people stick to traditional brushes because they don’t know exactly how the latest generation of electric toothbrushes work—particularly sonic toothbrushes. Meanwhile, an average sonic toothbrush is likely even easier to use than a regular manual toothbrush.

When using a sonic toothbrush, the results become visible after a while—or even very quickly. We not only see the results, but also feel them. They are especially noticeable for people with sensitive teeth and gums, who—using the right brush head—can clean their teeth more effectively without discomfort or irritation. However, people with teeth and gums that don’t show sensitivity will also appreciate the effects of using a sonic toothbrush.

Its biggest advantage is thorough cleaning of the teeth from plaque and superficial stains. Poorly removed plaque eventually turns into tartar, which is harmful to gum health. Using a sonic toothbrush, we can observe a positive effect—tartar builds up more slowly on the teeth.

Benefits of using a sonic toothbrush

Tartar is, among other things, a breeding ground and a comfortable environment for the growth of cavity-causing and anaerobic bacteria that lead to periodontal disease. A sonic toothbrush removes plaque, prevents tartar buildup, and significantly reduces the chance of cavities and gum disease.

Thanks to sonic toothbrushes, fewer people need to visit dentists for treatment. However, we must still remember about regular dental checkups and other preventive care, because using a sonic toothbrush is just part of the routine—it doesn’t completely replace a dentist visit.

Sonic toothbrushes thoroughly clean tooth surfaces and massage gums. They don’t replace flossing and/or using an irrigator but support the cleaning of hard-to-reach areas in the mouth.

People with sensitive teeth and gums will notice a major benefit from sonic brushes, because gentle care is essential in their case—avoiding irritation and discomfort while brushing. These effects are precisely what a sonic toothbrush provides. It's worth noting that a sonic toothbrush cleans thoroughly and precisely, but at the same time gently.

Thanks to sound waves and dynamic bristle motion, a sonic toothbrush creates a cloud of microbubbles from water, toothpaste, and saliva. These bubbles reach between the teeth and into gum pockets, where plaque, bacteria, and other microorganisms accumulate. This allows the toothbrush to clean areas beyond the reach of the bristles, in a safe and non-invasive way.

Why is it worth choosing a sonic toothbrush? Sonic toothbrushes generate sound waves, causing the bristles to make sweeping motions at a very high frequency. This allows for very precise and effective cleaning—with minimal effort from the user.

Sonic toothbrushes meet various oral care needs

This type of brush is great for:

• People who drink a lot of coffee or tea and want to remove persistent stains
  
  

• Those with sensitive gums
  
  

• People wearing orthodontic braces
  
  

• Users with crowns, bridges, or implants
  
  

Thanks to this broad action, a sonic toothbrush provides optimal results unmatched by any other home oral care methods.

Comfort & Style

There are many sonic toothbrush models available on the market. However, it’s worth investing in high-quality devices—designed and manufactured by professionals in dental accessories and oral care, such as toothbrushes and toothpaste.

The SEYSSO brand has long been trusted by customers and cares for people’s teeth all over the world. Our sonic toothbrushes are created with modern users in mind. We offer several types—ranging from basic models to advanced brushes featuring unique styling and design.

Some of our adult’s models come with travel cases that also serve as chargers, and they even have built-in UV sanitizers to disinfect brush heads. Easy-to-use designs and multiple operating modes (including speed settings) are further benefits of SEYSSO sonic toothbrushes.

Our children’s models are ergonomic and child-friendly. They don’t need external charging, as they run on small AAA batteries. One battery is enough to power a SEYSSO kids’ brush—this is possible because they produce fewer vibrations per minute than standard SEYSSO brushes for adults.

Which toothbrush?

To choose the right brush for you, it's not enough to know how a sonic toothbrush works—though that's a good start. While 16,000 vibrations per minute is sufficient for children's sensitive gums, adult users with sensitive gums and teeth need something different.

For adults, we especially recommend the SEYSSO OXYGEN toothbrush. It features both a whitening program and a gentle mode for sensitive teeth and gums. With SEYSSO brushes, it's easy to tailor the brushing experience to your needs—each brush has multiple cleaning modes and works at different speed levels, both low and high.

The BASIC series of SEYSSO sonic brushes includes 3 programs:

• Gentle brushing
  
  

• Gentle brushing with gum massage
  
  

• “Clean” mode for daily brushing without special needs
  
  

These brushes, when paired with the right heads, can be used by children over 6 years old.

More professional and luxurious SEYSSO models offer 5 cleaning modes, like the SEYSSO GOLD. The PROFESSIONAL and OXYGEN series include a whitening mode, which the BASIC model lacks. GOLD and PROFESSIONAL lines are more expensive than BASIC, but they offer extra features and more capabilities. Hence, sonic toothbrush prices vary depending on functionality and accessories.

When it comes to visible results, you’ll quickly notice a brighter smile, healthier gums, and less tartar buildup.

Common features

All SEYSSO sonic toothbrushes share several characteristics and specifications:

• Every adult brush has a durable lithium-ion battery, ensuring 6 to 10 weeks of use.
  
  

• Almost every model includes a travel case—some double as a charger, letting you to charge your brush while on the go.
  
  

• A practical timer helps track brushing time—this feature is also available in children’s battery-operated brushes.
  
  

With regular use, you'll quickly get a feel for the right pace and brushing pattern to ensure even coverage of all surfaces.

Cleaning & Polishing Brushes

As you can see, sonic toothbrushes don’t just clean teeth. In addition to brushing, they massage gums and gently polish the tooth surface. This allows you to comprehensively care for your oral health with one device.

Do you need a special toothpaste for a sonic brush? Once you know how a sonic toothbrush works, it’s worth choosing the right toothpaste to match it.

• To strengthen teeth and keep breath fresh, SEYSSO OXYGEN toothpaste is ideal.
  
  

• For whitening effects, SEYSSO with activated charcoal helps remove stains and fight bacteria.
  
  

Naturally, all SEYSSO toothpastes help prevent tooth decay. Their formulas are designed to work in harmony with sonic brushes. SEYSSO OXYGEN also promotes remineralization and tooth restoration.

SEYSSO toothpastes are made specifically with sonic toothbrushes in mind.
