Problem with Ultreo toothbrush
As you know I love this toothbrush and I believe it is more efficient than the other competitor’s in the market. In my cosmetic dental office I do a test on every single product before recommending it to our patients. But it seems like Ultreo has had some design issues. Some units just stop working after awhile; they just do not get charged. Ultreo originally attributed this to a design flaw in a circuit board of a particular batch but it seems to me that it is more than jsut that batch. I should point out that the company has been very responsible to replace the defective units right away. I have stopped recommending the toothbrush for now though.
Meanwhile sonicare has changed their design and has switched to the pull out head like Oral B and Ultreo. One of the issues with Sonicare was accumulation of debris around the neck of the brush where it attached to the body. By changing the design that issues should be resolved. In their newer model they have also added an UV light brush head sterilizer. It is a nice gadget, if you are a gadget guy but in reality there is no evidence that it really does anything despite what they might say. I would still recommend changing your brush head after an illness like cold or sinus infection anyway.
