Description
When we struggled to brush Steve’s teeth with our electric toothbrush, we started looking for other options. The toothbrush you can attach to the suction machine was much worse than the electric toothbrush. It was not easier to use, and it didn’t clean well.
After we ruled the suction toothbrush, we tried our first u-shaped toothbrush. It only cleaned one jaw at time. It did an adequate job, but Steve wanted to use the electric toothbrush a couple of times a week to get a better clean. So, Sheila went looking again.
She found the Autobrush shown here. This u-shaped toothbrush brushes the top and bottom of mouth at the same time. It works well. This one is a keeper! We are happy with this toothbrush.
