Oral-B introduces first-of-its-kind power toothbrush in the United States

Oral-B, a worldwide leader in the brushing market, has announced the launch of its newest rechargeable power (electric) toothbrush to the popular Professional Series line-up: the Professional Series Deep Sweep TRIACTION. The new Oral-B Deep Sweep TRIACTION toothbrush is a breakthrough in brushing — the first of its kind in the United States to combine the familiar brushing motion of a manual brush with the comprehensive power of advanced triple zone cleaning action to cover more surface area and remove up to 100 percent more plaque vs. a regular manual toothbrush. Furthermore, with up to 48,800 bristle movements per minute select models of the Oral-B Deep Sweep TRIACTION remove up to 76 percent more plaque in hard to reach areas versus Sonicare FlexCare.

“Taking proper care of one’s teeth and gums is essential for optimal oral health,” noted Dr. Jonathan B. Levine, world-renowned dental expert and Oral-B partner. “I recommend Oral-B power toothbrushes to my patients because they are superior to manual brushing in removing plaque and come with a variety of features to address every patient’s brushing style.”

With its familiar, manual-shaped brush head designed to compliment people’s natural, back-and-forth brushing motion, Deep Sweep TRIACTION has a unique combination of sweeping and stationary bristles, and a dynamic angled power tip that cleans effectively in hard-to-reach areas. Inspired by the dentist-recommended Bass technique, Deep Sweep TRIACTION’s dynamic bristles sweep perpendicular to manual brushing motion while unique two-level tufting makes sweeping bristles longer to ensure they reach deeply between teeth.

“We at Oral-B listen to our customers and strive to continuously provide them with the best oral care solutions,” said Rishi Dhingra, marketing director, Procter and Gamble. “Deep Sweep TRIACTION provides what many customers have long been looking for – the familiarity and experience of a manual brush coupled with the cleaning performance of an Oral-B power brush – and we’re excited to be able to meet that need for our customers nationwide.”

Like other Oral-B power toothbrushes, all Deep Sweep TRIACTION brushes feature a professional timer that signals at 30-second intervals to encourage thorough brushing in the four quadrants of the mouth, and at two minutes to indicate when the dental expert recommended brushing time has been reached. A pressure sensor in the brush head stops pulsations when you’re brushing too hard and Indicator bristles remind users to replace their brush head every three months, or once bristles have faded halfway.

The Deep Sweep TRIACTION power toothbrush is available in multiple models including the Professional Series Deep Sweep TRIACTION 1000 and Professional Series Deep Sweep + Smart Guide TRIACTION 5000, offering consumers a choice of price points and features that best suit their needs.

Oral-B Professional Series Deep Sweep TRIACTION brushes will be available at department, retail and specialty stores nationwide at suggested retail prices ranging from $64.99 to $159.99. Deep Sweep brush head refills will also be available for purchase and are compatible with all Professional Series brush handles.
