Which toothbrush to choose: manual, electric, or bioelectric?

There are a few types of people: those who brush their teeth mechanically, those who do it smartly, and a third group – those without teeth (but this article isn’t for them). Choosing between a manual, electric, and bioelectric toothbrush isn’t just about cleaning teeth. It’s about our relationship with science, comfort, and ourselves. It’s a decision we make every morning and night. So, if each of these brushes does its job, which one should you choose and when?

Manual toothbrush

This is the classic of toothbrushes – and will likely remain the most popular among tooth owners for a long time. Why? It’s the simplest tool, often used out of habit rather than effectiveness. If you’re looking for the cheapest solution, this is your brush.

Advantages:

• Low price, easy to buy – available everywhere from pharmacies to gas stations.
• Simple to use, no charging or extra features required.
• Great as a backup or travel option.

Disadvantages:

• Effectiveness depends entirely on the user’s skill and effort.
• Often fails to reach interdental spaces and gum lines.
• No extra features or technological assistance.

Best suited for:

• Children (with supervision), minimalists, or those with excellent brushing technique.
• People who believe that classics still beat innovation.

Electric toothbrush

Electric toothbrushes are a middle ground between the basic manual brush and more advanced oral hygiene solutions. They’ve saved many teeth and added some movement to the daily brushing routine. Their mechanism is still quite simple – vibrating or rotating bristles do the cleaning for you. This helps maintain hygiene with less effort, though not always with maximum efficiency.

Advantages:

• More effective plaque removal than manual brushing.
• Often come with timers, pressure sensors, or even app connectivity (though do you really need that?).
• Suitable for those who lack good brushing technique.

Disadvantages:

• May irritate sensitive gums.
• Requires charging or batteries.
• Doesn’t always reach problematic areas in the mouth, especially with braces or implants.
• Some users find the vibration and noise annoying.

Best suited for:

• Those looking to improve brushing effectiveness without too much extra effort.
• People who enjoy tech but haven’t yet discovered truly advanced solutions.

Bioelectric toothbrush

A bioelectric toothbrush is a step into the future. The Tromatz Pro bioelectric brush emits bioelectrical microcurrents that penetrate the deepest interdental spaces, gum lines, and even the areas between braces. It’s more than a cleaning tool – it’s a mini dentist in your mouth, helping not just to clean but to protect your long-term oral health.

Advantages:

• Clinically proven: Tromatz Pro removes 6 times more plaque than a manual toothbrush (Nature).
• 67% more effective at cleaning between teeth.
• Reduces gum inflammation by 75% and bleeding by 59% within 2–4 weeks.
• Ideal for people with sensitive gums, braces, or implants.
• Silent and vibration-free.
• Easy to use – all functions are controlled with a single button.
• No adjustment period needed. Feels as comfortable as using a regular toothbrush.

Disadvantages:

• Requires charging.
• Available only at select retailers.

Instructions for Use:

1. Moisten the brush head and apply toothpaste.

2. Press the button and start brushing as soon as the blue light turns on.

3. Brush as usual – but now more effectively, with the help of microcurrents.

4. After 2:30 minutes, the brush will turn off automatically. It knows when enough is enough.

How to Choose?

To choose the right toothbrush, consider the following:

• Do you have sensitive gums?
• Do you wear braces or have implants?
• Are you looking just to clean, or also to prevent future issues?
• Do you value your time and want something faster and more efficient?
• Do you believe technology can help not only with communication but also with taking better care of your health?
