Difference from conventional toothbrushes:
Electric toothbrushes include rotating toothbrushes, sonic toothbrushes, and ultrasonic toothbrushes. While the former usually have round brush heads that rotate alternately from left to right, sonic toothbrushes are equipped with elongated, vibrating heads. With 20,000 to 40,000 vibrations per minute, they achieve significantly more mechanical movement than rotating brushes. Ultrasonic toothbrushes use a completely different technology. While rotating and sonic toothbrushes remove biofilm with the help of mechanical movements, the emmi-dent Platinum works with up to 96 million ultrasonic vibrations per minute and requires no mechanical movement for tooth cleaning. Motionless tooth cleaning thanks to state-of-the-art ultrasonic technology or brushing without scrubbing.
Thus, the decisive difference lies in the method of tooth cleaning: just like manual toothbrushes, rotating and sonic toothbrushes also clean the teeth mechanically. This so-called macro-cleaning poses a risk of injury to gums and tooth enamel if the toothbrush is used incorrectly. In addition, ultrasound is able to minimize inflammation. This is confirmed by our study.
Dental care with conventional toothbrushes is limited to the areas in the mouth that the rotating or sonic toothbrush reaches. In contrast to conventional electric toothbrushes, the ultrasonic toothbrush works completely without pressure by transmitting vibrations. This cleans the entire oral cavity comprehensively.
Difference from other ultrasonic toothbrushes:
The emmi-dent Platinum toothbrush differs from other ultrasonic toothbrush models due to several important features and improvements. Here are the notable differences:
Improved ultrasonic efficiency:
The Platinum models use optimized timing through the integration of a 4-pin system. This improvement makes the ultrasonic technology significantly more effective compared to the emmi-dent Metallic and Go models. The improved timing enables a more efficient and powerful cleaning effect, which ensures thorough plaque removal and oral hygiene.
Extended battery life:
The emmi-dent Platinum has a longer battery life than its predecessor models. With regular use of 2–3 times per day, the Platinum can last up to 15 days before needing to be recharged. This extended battery life (lithium-ion) offers convenience and uninterrupted use, making frequent recharging unnecessary.
LED battery level indicator:
Another notable feature of the emmi-dent Platinum is the integrated LED battery level indicator. With this display, the user can easily monitor the toothbrush's remaining battery life. This makes it easy to ensure that the device is sufficiently charged and ready for use.
Vibration on/off option:
A special feature of the emmi-dent Platinum is the ability to switch off the vibration as desired. This distinguishes it from the otherwise identical emmi-dent Platinum Care. To do this, simply hold down the power button for approximately 10 seconds when switching on until the LED flashes 3 times. Now take your finger off the button and switch it on as usual. Would you like to reverse this? Simply repeat the same process. Through the option of turning off the vibration, even those who prefer vibration-free cleaning can benefit from the ultrasonic technology.
