> Dyson CameraJet™ is clinically proven to be more effective in improving gum health by removing and preventing plaque buildup.² Vs a manual tooth brush. Notice they don't include ultrasonic and rotating brushes in that statement. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

There isn't great evidence to suggest that electric toothbrushes are much better at removing plaque than manual. E.g. this metaanalysis [1] found basically no difference. There are also studies that show that electric is better, like this meta-analysis that found a small effect [2] and this Cochrane review. [3] What I generally read in articles is that the single biggest thing that makes a difference is brushing for the full 2 minutes, and electric toothbrushes can help with that by having a built-in timer. 1. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38348549/ 2. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34877772/ 3. https://www.cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD... | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

They did also make this claim: > Dyson’s brushing action prevents stalling, keeping bristles in constant motion to remove more plaque vs. market leading premium electric toothbrushes in a laboratory test in brush-only variable mode in the hard to reach areas. [0] Maybe one was an actual, independent though Dyson funded study and the other just their internal comparison to competitors? When I last upgraded my electric toothbrush, I read some studies looking into performance of Oral-B and co. and, to a layman, it seemed like most proper independent studies used manual as the base line. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
