A few years back, I decided to move back to a manual toothbrush after my dentist told me I was brushing too hard with the cheap electric model I’d been using.
Since then, every time I go to the dentist, they ask me about my toothbrush habits. In my most recent visit, they asked me if I’d consider going back to electric. And having used the Oclean X Ultra S for the past three weeks, the answer is a tentative “yes”.
Because the Oclean does a fantastic job at brushing. Its Maglev 3.0 motor vibrates at up to 42,000 RPM, and makes my mouth feel fresh after every clean.
But it seems like the promise of “AI” is little more than a marketing gimmick here. The AI Voice is honestly disturbing, while the lack of real-time feedback doesn’t help you improve your process.
It’s a big step forward over my last electric toothbrush, that’s for sure. But I had hoped the “AI” integration would offer more nuanced feedback on my toothbrushing regime, and it doesn’t.
