Background and Identification
The Braun Oral-B Sonic Complete 4729 is a rechargeable electric toothbrush. It has a detachable head, a powered handle, and a charging base. Electric toothbrushes use a motor in the handle to make rapid automatic oscillations (either back and forth or rotating) to clean teeth. While a common myth is that powered toothbrushes are more effective, the American Dental Association (ADA) says that both are effective for removing plaque and keeping teeth clean as long as they are used correctly. The main benefit of an electric toothbrush is that it makes brushing easier for people with dexterity problems, like the elderly, children, or people with disabilities. It can also be helpful to people who have braces. This is because the rotating or vibrating head of the toothbrush in a powered model will do most of the work of brushing your teeth for you, so people with mobility issues or those who have something impeding their teeth (like braces) can get cleaner teeth.
