Oral-B 3DWhite Toothbrush Heads Pack of 4

Product Information

That inner circle of bristles is made up of an outer ring of blue bristles with some white ones in the centre. They are cut to the same height as the petals, sitting a little lower than the outer bristles on the head. It is not clear precisely what the bristles have on them but they are designed to resist bacteria build-up, inhibiting the growth of bacteria. What happens is that over a period of approximately 3 months, the green bristles are dyed yellow to indicate the brush head requires changing. Coloured rings are fitted to the heads. Just remember the colour ring of yours and providing other users have different colours, you will easily know which is yours. Not strictly a brush head, this is a special type of attachment designed for Oral-B’s range of water flossing units, OxyJet and Aquacare.

To the outer left and right of this polishing cup are 3 clusters of bristles that form the outer ring of the brush head if you like. These are rich blue colour and are the shortest bristles on the head.With very few exceptions, all the different Oral-B brush heads work with the different Oral-B brush handles. It is also worth noting that the TriZone brush head is larger than the oscillating rotating brush heads like Cross Action, Floss Action etc.

Existing brush heads from Oral-B are not compatible with the iO and the iO brush heads do not fit to or work with other Oral-B toothbrushes. The bristles are angled so that the white and lilac appear longer than the dark blue ones. This angling helps to make the overall cleaning of this brush head that bit better. The sensitive brush head is best suited to the sensitive and gum care cleaning mode whilst the 3D white brush head is best partnered with the whitening cleaning mode. At the very top of the brush head are a 3 clusters of light blue bristles. You have one cluster in the top centre with a cluster below and slightly to one side of that. Whilst a regular rinse and air drying of the brush head should be enough to prevent excessive bacteria buildup, this is another approach to help prevent bacteria developing on the brush head.

The best Oral-B toothbrush heads you can buy in 2023

The polishing cup is designed to mimic the dentist tools that buff the tooth surface, and remove stains, to be bright and white, whilst the bristles brush away plaque on the tooth surfaces, in interdental spaces and along the gumline. The data analysing these different brush heads does not really exist to really understand the true differences. Some of this is based on my personal experience and understanding.

Capable of removing up to 5x more plaque than a manual toothbrush the precision clean head leaves your whole mouth feeling cleaner thanks to an arc trim that cups each tooth as you brush it. Not quite. Most Oral-B heads will work with any Oral-B toothbrush in its Vitality, Pro, Smart and Genius lines. However, they’re not compatible with toothbrushes in the more advanced and premium iO series. For these you’ll need specific – and more expensive – iO brush heads. At the moment, no other manufacturers beyond Oral-B produce iO-compatible heads. It is this fade in colour that acts as a guide to tell you to change brush heads. Bristle ConditionTherefore it is always important to monitor your brush head and consider whether it is necessary to change your brush head sooner rather than later. The brush heads shown in the table below will work with any Oral-B brush handle, apart from the Stages Power Kids and the Oral-B iO series. The 3D white brush head can be used on a daily basis and will do a perfectly fine job, but I don’t feel it is quite as good as the likes of the CrossAction and Sensi UltraThin brush heads. I have tested all of these different brush heads and my personal favourites are the CrossAction and Sensitive brush heads.
