Sonicare 9900 Prestige Evaluation is Complete - Get One!

 

Back in March, I told you I would begin doing an evaluation of the Sonicare 9900 Prestige powered toothbrush.  It's been a bit over two months of usage now, and I am incredibly happy with the device.  The category of powered brushes is starting to get a tad crowded, although they all work.  In fact I see more and more patients taking the plunge and spending the extra money for one every week.

However, the 9900 has some nice features that help set it apart from the competition.  It comes with 2 chargers.  One is the standard "sits on your counter" type and that's what most of us will use.  However, it also comes with a travel case (seen above) that can be connected to a USB micro charging cable and charged with an AC adapter or even your laptop!

What I have been most impressed with is the app which you use to monitor and adjust the brush.  The app is downloaded for your preferred app store and connects your phone to the Prestige 9900.  Open the app, take the unit off the charger, and the app opens with a brushing guide that guides you through you 2 minute brushing routine.  It shows where you are brushing and when to advance to the next area in your mouth.  It also allows you to change settings for how the brush vibrates and the app also offers tips and videos.

The brush head is also connected.  It contains a RFID chip that keeps track of the number of times the brush has been used and it alerts you when it is time to replace it.  The easiest part of that is when it IS time to replace, you can buy the replacements straight from the app.  Simple!

Up to this point, I haven't been too impressed with "connected" toothbrushes.  Having an app seemed like a solution looking for a problem.  However, the Sonicare 9900 Prestige has changed my opinion.  This brush delivers a nice clean & healthy smile while also providing info to your phone that you can actually use!

This device is *highly recommended*!
