Oral-B Cross Action Heads, 4 Count (Pack of 1)

Product Information

Oral-B make many claims about the efficiency of plaque removal and how well each head cleans in combination with their brush handles. I am not here to judge or make comment specifically on how well they remove plaque, this is not a scientific test. Out from the white bristles are 2 clusters of very dark blue coloured bristles. The formation of these bristles are wider and slightly thinner than a normal cluster and are positioned in such a way that there is a gentle arc to them. These clusters are called ‘petals’ by Oral-B. They are made and positioned in such a way that there is a slight sweep and curve to the bristle clusters on the outer ring. Thanks for your question. In short, the answer is no. You can still clean your teeth fairly effectively with the 3D white head. I feel, from use and the head design that the likes of the CrossAction and Sensi UltraThin are better placed to give an excellent overall coverage for the vast majority of people.

Sensitive Clean: for a gentle clean, comes with ultra-thin bristles that are tough on plaque but gentle on gums Inside the outer edge are what Oral-B calls the ‘polishing petals’. They are not nylon bristles they are instead made of a rubber/silicone type material. They have a wider profile to them, with a tapered tip. They are designed to mimic the polishing cup found on professional dental tools to help give that brighter shine to the tooths surface. In the centre of the brush head, are a further 7 tufts, 6 of which are grouped around a single tuft right in the centre.larger tufts of bristles create a rounded edge to this small circular brush head. They are made up of 3 different coloured bristles (white, lilac and dark blue).

For optimal results, we recommend you change your brush head every 3 months, after you have been ill or when the bristles become worn. With very few exceptions, all the different Oral-B brush heads work with the different Oral-B brush handles. What happens is that over a period of approximately 3 months, the green bristles are dyed yellow to indicate the brush head requires changing.You might want to consider using a mouthwash at certain times of the day also for extra cleansing. The Fresh Breath Company’s range of oral rinses are a potential option. The colour of the bristles start off fuller and darker, but as time passes they become lighter and appear more worn. The basic ethos behind the brush heads are the same, small and round, but the fitting and brush head styles are slightly different. A grey slider switch just under the head of the nozzle allows the jet of water exiting to be changed from either a continuous and more powerful jet of water or a softer, rotational flow of water.
