$1 vs $300 Toothbrush | Style Theory

Are your teeth clean? Are you sure they're clean? If you ever wanted to know how much your toothbrush is actually doing to keep your pearly whites pearly white, strap in, friends. Today we're putting six of the best-selling toothbrushes to the Theorist test to see which brush earns the plaque for fighting plaque. If you compare a $3 toothbrush to a $300 toothbrush, is there really that much of a difference? Will an electric win out over a manual, or will Sonic be able to topple them all? Do all

of those different heights and angles of bristles do anything, or is it all just a bunch of marketing hype? And seriously, do we really need to floss? I promise you, friends, the results of today's experiment will have your jaw drop to the floor. And, uh, not because of tooth decay. Hello, Internet! Welcome to Style Theory, the show that 9 out of 10 dentists agree will blow your mind. That 10th dentist? Yeah, he was always a bit strange. Let me ask you this. How often are you brushing your teeth

? If you're like most of America, you likely answered two times a day. According to a 2019 survey, 55% of people say that same thing. As for me, yeah, I'm not in that group. I gotta admit, not the best toothbrusher. I brush every morning, first thing in the morning, and that's it. That's right, I am a once-a-day-er, and I am proud of it. I am standing here with the 29%. But regardless of whether you're brushing once per meal, once per day, or once per week, one thing we can all agree on is that

we want our brushes to be doing the best job possible. There's just one problem with that. There are so many toothbrush options out there. Just search for a toothbrush on Amazon and get ready for an avalanche of choice. It's no longer just deciding if you should use manual or electric anymore. What kind of electric toothbrush? How much pulsing action do you need? Which brush head do you choose? The Tri-Zone? The Cross-Action? How do sonic toothbrushes factor into all this? And don't even get me

started on the new toothbrushes that you see getting promoted in viral ads across social media. With so many options available, how are you possibly gonna pick the one that's actually gonna get your teeth the cleanest? Well, if you're me and you operate a style, fashion, and self-care channel, you convince your partner and two other creative directors to bare their teeth all in the name of science. For two weeks, our longest experiment ever on the channels, we tested six of the most popular brus

hes on the market, ranging in price from $3 to $300 all in an effort to see whether your toothbrush actually makes a difference in how clean your teeth get. Fifteen days of awkward mouth picks later, and we have our results, all ready to share with you today. Is there an OnlyFans of just teeth picks? Because, oh boy, get ready to get super up close and personal with these pearly whites. Let's meet our contestants, shall we? We have my partner, Steph, who brushes twice a day. In the morning, and

then at night. When I get up in the morning, first thing, mouth is gross. At night, sometimes I'm brushing for a long time, and I'm getting like a really nice deep clean. And other times, it's more of a superficial. Their style theory creative director, Amy. I am a compulsive brusher before bed, and when I wake up. From food theory, creative director, Santi. I'm not a morning brusher. My mornings consist of me rolling out of bed. So once my morning meetings are done, and all that, then I'll brus

h my teeth. And then I'll brush my teeth at night. And lastly, me. You already know how I feel about this. I think if you're brushing your teeth twice a day, you might have a little too much time on your hands. Okay, hey, calm down. It's a bit of an over-exaggeration there. But seriously, I do believe that if you're doing a thorough job brushing twice a day, it seems like overkill to me. But, I guess we're gonna find out. Anyway, with everyone introduced, let's talk about the test. First, every

person is gonna stick to their own individual standard brushing schedule. So we're not mixing any extra variable into the mix. We're also all gonna be using the same basic fluoride toothpaste to keep the focus solely on the difference between the brushes. For each brush, we standardize the time to the full dentist recommended two minutes in length. And then, after the final brush of the day, we're gonna chew up a disclosure tablet to see how each brush did. If you've never heard of a disclosure

tablet before, it's made to help highlight the plaque that's on your teeth by staining it a bright, easy-to-see color. Usually, you're gonna want to use these things before brushing your teeth, so you know where exactly you're trying to brush. But for our experiment today, we're gonna be using it after each brush, so it's not affecting where we're targeting in our mouths. We're actually using disclosure tablets made by YouTube's own Dental Digest, the Fat Glob brand. And, uh, from there, it's ab

out it. We'll still be allowed to floss and use mouthwash like normal, but only after getting our disclosure results and taking our pictures so as not to taint the results. That way, we're changing one thing and one thing only, and that's the toothbrush. Speaking of brushes, let's talk about that. Steph and I, we usually use the Sonicare by Philips. It's different than a mechanical toothbrush. You have the one style of mechanical toothbrush that rotates the head back and forth. This one's more o

f a vibrator that supposedly uses sonic action to just kind of hold the brush to your teeth and let the sonic action do all the work for you, which I don't believe, which is why this test is happening right now. Santi also likes a vibrating option. What I normally use is this bad boy. The Oral-B Pulsar something. Sounds like a Yu-Gi-Oh card, to be honest. I like it because it has these yellow rubber things on the side that, like, are supposed to really help scrub out any stubborn plaque. Well sa

id, sir. And then we had ourselves Amy, who, to my shock, still uses a plain old manual toothbrush. I don't buy the cheapest toothbrush. I just buy a nice brush, but I've never actually had, like, an electric or a sonic toothbrush. I've only ever used manual toothbrushes, which apparently, according to Matt, means that I am a plebeian who has not fully developed as an adult brushing my teeth because I have not upgraded. Okay, hey, I did not use those exact words, but yeah, I did kind of assume t

hat as you get older, you keep upgrading your toothbrush, kind of like you upgrade a phone, but hey, we'll see who's right soon enough. With Amy on Team Manual, Santi on Team Electric, and Steph and I on Team Sonic, everyone had a horse in this race. Nicely balanced that way. To be as thorough as possible, we'll be testing out six different options. In the manual category, we have this cheap generic brush, this dentist-recommended multi-bristle head, and the social media sensation, the nano brus

h. In the electric category, we actually have two different heads, the cross-action and the tri-zone. And then lastly, we'll be capping it off with the Sonicare. Each toothbrush will get two days of testing, and will be graded on mouthfeel, ease of use, and of course, how clean it actually gets your teeth. So, with everyone feeling super confident about their dental health, I've had a lot of teeth problems in my life due to a lot of health reasons, and just the natural movements of my teeth kind

of cranking everything together. I'm pretty, I guess, insecure with my teeth. I have these little ridges. They came in a little, like, twisted. I had, like, three years in a row where I had cavities. It wrecked my dental confidence. I'm proud of my teeth. I think I have a great smile. It's time to get brushing. But before we get to that, I am so excited to announce that our first-ever winter collection just launched over on Theorywear.com. We're calling it the Northern Lights Collection, becaus

e it is packed full of things to keep you warm and cozy and bright this holiday season. And there is something for everyone in the mix. For the theorist that's looking to hit the slopes, or just look like they're hitting the slopes, when in actuality, they're at the lodge sipping hot cocoa, we have ourselves the pastel Aurora Borealis-inspired snowsuit that's sure to make people stop and think, Whoa, that person is stylish. And they know how to snowboard, even if you don't know how to snowboard.

But let's say that you'd rather stay in and have yourself a date night with your special someone. You're in luck again. Your iconic duo will love our iconic duo in the cozy hibernation sweater and the Aurora blazer. No lie, these are actually two of my favorite items in the entire line. And the best part, everything in here is entirely unisex. And this is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what we have available right now at Theorywear.com. We've got accessories, we've got suitcases,

and yeah, there are still plenty of jackets to go around. That's Theorywear.com, or click on that shopping button that you see in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen. Day one was our control day with the cheap manual toothbrush. Though, I gotta say, once I opened it up, I noticed that the cheap ones really have improved since the last time I shopped around. This one's got the slight ridges, so it's not your basic just, like, flat-across brush. The curve's meant to help the brush bristles f

it more snugly around your teeth like a prickly hug. But the only way to really know is to test it out, so I loaded it up with some paste and went to town. After two minutes of brushing, the results were... My mouth feels fantastic. Does it feel more great than usual? Yeah, not really, but it feels good. When I was using this one today, the bristles feel slightly firmer. They're labeled as soft, but they felt firmer than my usual bristles. I tend to keep my brush heads on a little bit too long.

I don't replace them as frequently as I probably should. Santi and Amy agreed. It was fine for, like, a 50-cent toothbrush. My mouth feels about the same amount of cleanliness that it normally does when I use, like, this kind of toothbrush. While Steph was unimpressed with the amount of force that she needed to exert. I feel like I had to work a lot. Like, I really muscled through the teeth, which I feel like is probably not that great for my gums, and also not that great as a brushing experienc

e. Dentists actually recommend softer bristles for that very reason. Hard bristles are more likely to cause tearing and irritation on your gums. But that's just what we thought about the brush. What about what we could actually see? It was time to pop in our first-ever disclosure tablet, and the first thing we noticed wasn't the plaque. It was the taste. I hate it! Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm. The instructions literally read, swish the fluid around in your mouth. What the instructions aren't tell

ing you is that that fluid is just your spit mixed with the powder of the tablet. It is kind of gross. Anyway, once we got over that little hurdle, we were able to assess the damage. And overall, yeah, it wasn't that bad. I think it did a really good job. I'm actually really impressed with how it did as a basic brush, but there's a couple areas you could see how the bristles weren't able to get into those nooks and crannies. And looking at our up-close photos, all four of us pretty much got the

same results. Clean in the front, but with some plaque that didn't get brushed away on the back teeth. Looking at everyone's ratings, we got surprisingly good results, considering we'd only spent half a dollar on these. So, with our control all set, it was time for our Oral-B All-in-One, with its crisscrossing bristles. Day two, new brush. Today, we're doing the Oral-B... I've got a bunch of things pointing in a lot of different directions brush. This guy is the dentist-recommended option, becau

se the multiple angles are supposed to be better at getting into all those hard-to-reach areas. Or, at least, that's what they say. We were about to see if that was true. Very weedy. It's like I've got a shiv in my hand. Gah, let's shank some teeth. The head, also a bit smaller than our control brush. So, if you look at it, the entire bottom portion of this one is, like, gone from this one. So, how did it do? Well, for me, it was a noticeable upgrade in experience than the control. First use of

this brush relative to the one that we used yesterday, vastly different experience. I could feel all the different angles and bristles. I feel like I got really clean off of this brush. But am I substantially cleaner than yesterday? No. But do I think I did it with less work? Yes. And I wasn't the only one to notice the difference. It definitely felt more thorough, because the bristles were tighter packed. Because this is a smaller head, it means I can get closer, and, like, more concentrated on

each tooth. Solid handle, good mouthfeel. I'm a satisfied customer. But there was one person who was more than eager to leave a one-star review. Not that big of a fan. I almost actually like the basic one better. The bristles are really stiff. I'm not really liking the- how it feels, like, brushing. I honestly don't feel like this cleaned my teeth. Huh, well, there's only one way to find out there, Santi. It's disclosing time! After a minute of gargling our own spit, the results were shockingly

mixed. Despite me feeling a decent clean, well, Santi and I had completely skipped whole sections of her mouth. Did I just miss my bottom teeth completely today? I'm wondering if it's my brushing technique, or if this is just the failure of the toothbrush, that having so many different bristles at so many different angles, like, it's not as focused. It looks so much worse today. It didn't get, like, in between my teeth. There's a lot more buildup in these front teeth. Already, I know, like, I w

as trying to brush even more today, knowing how yesterday went. It felt better, but the brush was worse. On the opposite end, Steph had almost no stains on her teeth. Amy, she was ready to ditch her old brush for this new one right away. I would definitely use this toothbrush again. I definitely like it more than the generic toothbrush, which is a fun little thing to find out. And see, these mixed results are exactly why we wanted to use each brush more than once. It helped us adjust to the lear

ning curve of using a new brush. But even after a second day and a decently insightful conversation, What would you rate this one on day one? I rate this one, like, a seven or a seven and a half. Oh, I'd say a seven! Oh, I would. The results for us were still divided. As the tablets revealed, Santee and I were still struggling to get to the back molars, even after adjusting our technique. Amy, the manual toothbrush truther that she is, managed to get back there and have the best results of the b

unch. And Steph, she was right there in the middle. And this time, the ratings showed just how divided we were on mouth feel. I felt my teeth were just as clean as they were on the normal brush. Santi thought it was worse, and Steph and Amy thought it was better. Though, let's be real, Santi just really hated this brush. I didn't like it. We can tell, Santi. We can tell. Up next, the one you've probably seen all across your social media feeds lately, the Nano. This brush has been making waves ac

ross the internet. So, congratulations there, guys. Your online marketing strategy worked, and I got one. Spoiler alert, it's not a great thing for ya. For those of you who haven't seen the ads, the Nordic-inspired Nano toothbrush's whole shtick is that it has itself thousands of bristles. Twelve thousand, if the website's to be believed. To give you an idea of how much that is, your average toothbrush is about 2,500 bristles. So this guy is THICC. And theorists, in total and complete honesty, i

t is also so incredibly soft. Ooh! Oh, this texture is delicious. But that softness is coming in at a steep price, costing roughly five times what our other manual toothbrushes did. So, how did it feel to brush our teeth with a cloud of bristles? Well, it was like touching air, which turns out is not a great thing when you're trying to brush your teeth. Oh, it's like too soft. You can't even tell what it's touching. I don't feel it. Which is nice, because it's not like scratching my gums. While

it was certainly nice to have a break from the tougher bristles of the previous brushes, none of us could even tell if it was doing any cleaning. Even Power Arms Amy over there was struggling. It's hard... It's hard to brush. And from there, all it took was one berry-flavored tablet to reveal the truth. Oh, yuck! Oh, that's so gross! Oh, that's terrible. Yup, pretty much did nothing. Santi and I had pink teeth because the soft bristles weren't able to apply enough pressure to remove the build-up

. Steph and Amy were able to get a better clean with the same exact brush, but all of us were left feeling like our mouths were still dirty. How'd you put it, Steph? I don't know. Really? Ew! It feels like I'm brushing my teeth with, like, a sock. Yeah, not really the sensation I'm looking for out of my toothbrush. I guess there is such a thing as being too soft. After day two's results wound up looking much the same, it became clear that this thing was all... Hype right down to the claim of bei

ng Nordic inspired. That's my other question. What makes this Nordic, yeah, I had a question about that to Amy So I went on to their website to see whether I could find something anything about how this toothbrush is inspired by the lands of Scandinavia Finland Iceland anywhere and I found nothing There was nothing on the website that explained why this toothbrush full of soft plushy lies is Nordic inspired and at three times the price Of our dentist recommended manual toothbrush. I can confiden

tly tell you to just say man To the nano brush after two days of suffering through the nano brush all of us were eager to move on to our next category Electric nowadays most people including most dentists consider electric toothbrushes to be superior to manual brushes due to how the bristles vibrate and rotate Basically doing the brushing for you, but would that actually show in our test results? We went with a basic popular Oral B base that would let us test out two very different types of head

s starting with the dentist Recommended option the cross-action like our manual option It had a mix of angled bristles to help get into those crevices and let me tell you we were shook by this thing literally shook Stuff and I felt like we had just put a jackhammer into our mouths, but maybe the results would be worth the violence You're brushing individual teeth. Look I missed a tooth. Oh, yeah It's gross. Yeah, not quite. The bottoms are good. I spent a ton of time on the I didn't notice that

you started on the Bottoms and you focused on the back. Yeah, but what by the time I got to the top I was like either running out of time or running out of patience and I literally skipped a tooth and you can see exactly Where it is. It seemed like the smaller head forced us to be more conscious of hitting each and every tooth individually I don't feel like I had a good Understanding of how to use it I still want to go through the normal acts of brushing and doing all of that, which I think mayb

e is not exactly what I should be doing with this brush instead of the broad strokes that worked for the manual brushes This small circular head meant that we had to go around each tooth one by one or else we'd miss it entirely This will be the most successful one. But what I'm realizing that it's coming down to is like 70% brush, but 30% technique. I feel like tomorrow I'll probably have gotten my technique down pat a little bit more with this brush and credit where credit's due Santi did exact

ly that today. My mouth feels a lot cleaner. I feel like I actually hit everything I feel I just feel it top teeth Definitely cleaner not the cleanest that they've been with other brushes specifically the basic brush The basic brush is coming through man. But while he was busy celebrating the rest of us Yeah, we weren't so sure. But I don't really feel any better about this one than I did about the other normal Oral-B. The crisscross bristles really seem to do a lot for it And I like having the

smaller service area to really get each tooth individually. The electricness of it doesn't make a ton of difference to me. And that was far from Amy's only issue. They don't fit in my cabinet. But to do that, I have to disassemble it and stick it in a different place Which is just you know a level of inconvenience that I don't need in my toothbrush routine when I'm getting up at like 5 in the morning, brushing my teeth in the dark. Sorry Amy, but with great power comes great responsibility Like

having to disassemble your brush. In the end our teeth felt very clean but it wasn't the easiest to use. We felt rushed because we had to take more time on each individual tooth and the disclosure tablet showed that while we could certainly get a better deeper clean It required a level of skill that we had yet to truly master. Overall that put the electric Crisscross at number two on the overall leaderboard and it was here that all of us really started to hit a wall None of us had predicted the

strain and frustration that would come with having to film ourselves every day brushing our teeth, chewing on powdery disclosure tablets, getting jump-scared by giant close-up photos of our teeth every time we opened our phone. But we had to press on for science for views and for your dental hygiene. Onward to the um, what was this one called again? Yeah, yeah, so this is the triforce Which just feels like I'm saying the Try Guys. One of the trifold. The try zone. This one made our shortlist for

one reason and one reason only it does something that no other brush on this list can do it brushes side to side or I suppose it would be up and down if you're holding the whole thing sideways. Dentists believe that oscillating toothbrushes meaning ones that physically rotate or move work far better than ones that are just there vibrating. But what this test was quickly showing me was that dentists? Yeah, they're gonna recommend anything. It reminds me of the other big brush that we did. The si

ze difference. All I have to do is sweep it across my teeth and it feels like it's getting pretty much most of the bulk of my tooth. After having such a small head in the previous version of this I actually miss it because I liked the small precision head, but Amy and Santi weren't so nostalgic In fact for the first time in the entire experiment Santi seemed to finally be enjoying his life again. This is my favorite so far miles away better than anything else because I get like a full toothbrush

head unlike the other one, which is a tiny like this tiny like circular thing. I hate the motion of this head. This one because it goes side to side you really feel like it's getting every nook and cranny with between your teeth. It's interesting Santi was our team electric boy at the start of the episode and with this brush being the most similar to his usual brush, starting to notice a pattern here, but we needed a bit more evidence. Let's see what the disclosure tablet told us. It's actually

not cleaned as well as I thought it did, you know here on the sides There's still a good decent amount of plaque. Overall it seems like my teeth did not get as clean. And while Santi was dealing with his crippling disillusionment. He wasn't alone We all had similar issues looks like it was missing spots here. And I don't know if that's a user error versus like the toothbrush being super bad. This is why we do it for more than one day. I think I'm going to try to make sure I'm a little bit more

thorough next time now that I kind of can see where my natural tendencies miss. Like the last brush head we felt like we needed to slow down to get a thorough cleaning and so moving into day two we tried our best to adjust the technique. Once again, we found our results to be mixed across the board. I think this is a matter though of just getting used to this brush and using it more than just two days because already from Yesterday to today. I feel like the teeth are cleaner. My these bottom tee

th have always been the problem children. I would say this is the cleanest that they've gotten. Too bad the rest of us couldn't say the same. Amy our electric brush newbie was particularly frustrated not just because she couldn't figure out how to charge it, but because she didn't think her results were any better than normal. It doesn't feel any better than the manual toothbrush. I like the idea of it. Can't say that it's currently blowing my mind in execution. And as we drew closer to the end

of the experiment I was starting to worry. None of the brushes were doing a perfect job I was starting to spiral. The moral of this story gonna be that flossing is required No But we had one final shot one last brush that could save the whole thing the one that I'd been championing since the beginning could the Sonicare the brush that Steph and I have been using for years finally be the plaque killing hero. There was only one way to find out From the outside the sonic hair looks pretty similar t

o an electric toothbrush But what separates the sonic from just the plain old electric is that these babies gotta go fast. Electric toothbrushes can rotate a few thousand times a minute but the sonic brush is vibrating at tens of thousands of times a minute. Obviously the faster is gonna be the better here, right? From all my research Sonic toothbrushes mainly have one type ahead kind that vibrates side to side rather than rotating and since we already learned dentists recommend a brush that rot

ates rather than simply vibrating, this could finally be the thing that proves that dentist recommendations are a joke. Oh and I was speaking of jokes what could be funnier than wearing some ridiculously long nails? Yeah, if you're wondering what's going on with my nails in this clip that's for another style theory that we've got cooking up for later this year. So just make sure that you're subscribed for that one. Don't you just love it when experiments overlap with each other? So that was my t

ooth brushing that's with my normal toothbrush. I'm pretty happy with that I feel pretty good feel like I get a good sense of clean and I feel like of all the toothbrushes this likely has the best shot of getting into the crevices because the the fast Vibrations feel like it gets deeper into the tooth. But I guess the disclosure tab will ultimately be the judge of that one and what a harsh judge It was the front teeth looked okay But when it came to the back and the gaps between my teeth the Son

icare was just a swing and a miss and it wasn't Just me to not like at all. It was very aggressive. by God Is that a very violent feeling toothbrush? This thing goes hard and does it very quickly. This thing is just very intense and splattery. I still don't quite get the hype around it. Matt and Stephanie they look really sold this thing up, like they hyped it up. They were committed. They were all in on this toothbrush and it doesn't feel that different to me than my manual toothbrush. This was

getting embarrassing. I was certain that the Sonicare would come out on top but the disclosure result tablets didn't lie. The Sonicare wasn't leaps and bounds ahead of every other brush. It was just okay. It's fun enough. I think it's a cute idea, but it doesn't for me change how I brush my teeth. It doesn't really brush my teeth any better. And she had a point across all her disclosure results. Amy stayed very consistent. In fact, she had more plaque when using the Sonicare. Santi, same thing.

It's nice. It's fancy sure, but is it really doing that much of a job? Eh. I'm gonna say that this is the biggest disappointment. I knew the nano wasn't gonna be the best one I was excited for it But I think this wasn't the biggest disappointment definitely not worth the money if this is the most expensive one. Even me I brushed I brushed to the best of my ability my fate as a hygiene expert depended on it. I used everything that I'd learned throughout this whole experiment. I had so much at st

ake here I had to prove that my toothbrush was the best and I failed. So it's not looking great especially bottom front. Mm-hmm. Not fantastic where it's missing the stuff in the front. It actually missed a little of mine, too. Yeah. Once again, I'm left with egg on my face and in my teeth and looking at the scores the Sonicare technically takes the top spot but I think Steph and I both rating our personal toothbrush higher skewed those results. So let's take a closer look at the data to try and

figure out what is going on here 'cause right now I feel more confused about what actually works than when we first started. When we break down our scores we start to get a clearer picture for mouthfeel It was tied between the Sonicare and the tiny head electric brush, which isn't a surprise when you think that this category has more to do with what you think the brush is doing rather than actual results. As we saw time and time again we all thought that the electric and the sonic brushes were

doing more cleaning than they actually were they felt better, they had a lot of aggressive vibration and the smaller head made it feel like we were more in control of the clean that we were getting targeting different sections of our mouth making the whole thing feel more precise and thorough than it actually wound up being. When it came to ease of use all of us were biased in favor of the toothbrush that we used most regularly. This more than anything so far proves to me that when it comes down

to it. Practice really makes a huge difference with how successful a toothbrush is. So there is a learning curve I know when I first gave my parents an electric toothbrush near dead, you know toothpaste everywhere. But when it came down to the category that mattered the most in this entire episode actual cleanliness of your teeth the clear winner was the manual Oral B all-in-one brush by far. Not electric, not sonic a manual toothbrush with just a few extra bristles, the dentist recommended opt

ion. And I had an idea as to why. I think what's happening is we have the best luck with the manual bristle brushes. I think we did. And I think the reason why is because we were the ones controlling it. All of these mechanical brushes are like oh, let the brush do the work put it on the outside and it's gonna vibrate So you kind of go easy on your teeth, whereas the manual toothbrushes you kind of crank down on it, right? You're like going a little extra hard. The good of that is that you're ge

tting between the teeth a little bit better. The bad of that is that it's really hard on your teeth and gum. So you're caught in this kind of like no-win scenario of Using brushes like the sonic hair or the oral B which might be feeling like you're getting you a better clean and might be better for your gum line, great, but aren't getting between the teeth. Whereas the manuals I think are doing a better job of getting between the teeth but maybe not getting the gums as well as you might want and

are just harder on your teeth and harder on your gums. And that once again comes down to technique and time. Because the manual toothbrush requires you to go in and do the work yourself rather than relying on a motor, you are getting better results. I don't think you have to spend a ton of money I think you just have to devote the time and skill practice to it. And Amy's not wrong here. The results that we got from the four dollar and fifty cent all-in-one were at the same level and often even

better than what we were getting from the electric and sonic brushes that cost literally hundreds of dollars more. So where does that leave us really? What's the big takeaway? Well for one the more money you're spending doesn't mean you're necessarily getting a better clean but I think the bigger story here is that if most of us like me and Steph and Santi all struggle to get into those deep crevices between your teeth and a toothbrush alone ain't gonna cut it. My worst fear came true. This epis

ode more than any talk to a dentist I've ever had in my life proved once and for all the necessity of flossing. As far as I can tell there's no other sufficient way to get the plaque that's building up in the gaps between your teeth. Now what this whole thing has done just like every other big hygiene related style theory has done so far is it opens the door to a whole new sub series where now we got to test out water picks versus floss. I guess that's a positive for more episodes in the future

but for now, it's just got me looking down in the mouth. Until next time remember it's all just a theory, a style theory! Keep on brushing. And if you're looking to optimize more of your routine check out the box on the left to learn about how to get the best shave or click the box on the right to learn why keeping your makeup in the bathroom is the single worst choice you could possibly make. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go delete gigabytes full of teeth photos from my phone. But wait, re

ally is there an only fan market for teeth pics? Steph, I think I got our next thing...
