The shape of the head directly affects its characteristics and cleaning efficiency. This parameter must be considered in conjunction with the cleaning technology.
—
round. Round brush heads are more commonly used on electric toothbrushes with reciprocating brushing technology. This shape allows you to increase the efficiency of cleaning hard-to-reach places (interdental space, for example), and is also considered one of the best options for sensitive teeth. But at the same time, the area of the brush itself is small, and therefore the process of brushing your teeth takes more time.
—
oval. The most familiar shape of a toothbrush head, well known to users from classic, non-electric toothbrushes. Offers more surface area and more intensive treatment of the teeth, but the treatment is rougher and may not be the best option for sensitive teeth. However, the latter applies to toothbrushes with reciprocating sweeping technology, while models with
sonic or
ultrasonic cleaning technology do not have these drawbacks at all.
—
combined. These heads are formed from two parts: one is round and the other is oval. Thus, the manufacturer tries to combine the advantages of two different types. Such a solution is not very popular, electric toothbrushes are practically not equipped with such
...nozzles as regular ones, but they can always be purchased as an additional, removable nozzle.
