Check out the ORAL-B Cross-Action Toothbrush

Let me start off by saying that I am not being paid to write about ORAL B.

I am simply an orthodontist who would like to help out find means and ways to best clean the teeth....especially harder to clean teeth with braces.

Having braces makes it harder to reach certain areas of the teeth. Most resolve to simply brush harder, brushing forcibly, which is really unnecessary and may even cause receding gums.I don't really like reading long write ups and studies about a certain product but what I do like are simple presentations that make sense and would atleast prompt me to try and see for myself.   What convinced me to give this toothbrush a try is this video which I think we should all watch.

CrissCross Bristles vs. Straight Bristles Video

I think with it's unique features and very good looking form, this would fetch quite a hefty sum for a toothbrush. But if it does clean better, preventing gum problems, lessening visits to the dentist for deep cleaning...I'd recommend it anytime.....YES....even if it means lesser visits to my office :-)    

Oh! And by the way, if you do decide to try it, hope you can help me out by leaving a comment on how you find the toothbrush ...good or bad....so we can spread the word around :-)
