Oral B Replacement Brush - oral b, braun


Click here for more information
I'm an Oral B user of many years, have always bought replacement brushes at the local drugstore, and was completely satisfied. I purchased this 3-pack of replacement heads and had one come apart in my mouth after a few weeks of normal use. The metal pin at the end of the head came completely out and the rotating head came off. Both head and metal pin were loose in my mouth, an obvious swallowing hazard. The packaging displayed here does not look like my packaging, which is very plain saying only "Oral B Precision Clean", and the brush just feels cheap.



I cannot prove this brush to be a counterfeit yet, but I am contacting Oral B.



Update: Contact Oral B by telephone. Item I received is counterfeit and Oral B requested I return it to them. If your item's packaging does not look identical to the customer supplied images, I would not use the replacement head.

Have owned a Braun Oral-B Toothbrush Ultra Power Handle w/Timer for about five years. Got it because my dentist said the oscillating action this model has was good to not only brush the teeth, but that it would scrub away plaque from between teeth and along gum lines better than my old 'up-and-down' electric or regular toothbrushes.



And of course he repeated that old saying, "Two minutes, twice a day." His dental hygienist also advised replacing the brushes every three months, just like with regular toothbrush. That's great advice, except what can you do if you can't find replacement brush refills?



I didn't think that going to a grocery or drug store would results in such a hassle about finding replacement brushes, and I won't bore you with the details. But the brushes are indeed available right here, and if you check the prices carefully you'll find that there are some bargains to be had, and in almost all cases they're cheaper than your local store.



They're called 'Precision Clean' (the new name for 'Flexisoft') and should be marked 'EB17'. You can get them here as well:



¤ Oral-B Precision Clean 3-pack brush head refill

¤ Oral-B EB17-3 Power Toothbrush Replacement Brush Heads

¤ Oral-B Precision Clean - 4 Replacement Brush Heads

¤ 9 (3X3) Oral-B Replacement Fexisoft Brushheads EB-17

¤ Oral-B 3 Precision Clean + 1 Interspace Refills

¤ Oral-B Precision Clean Replacement Brush Head Refill





These refills are compatible with most Oral-B electric toothbrushes except Vitality Sonic, Sonic Complete or CrossAction. If you have an Oral-B electric toothbrush that is noted to take Precision Clean, FlexiSoft, ExtraSoft, EB17, or PowerPolisher brush heads, then these will work.



As noted earlier, keep your eye open on the prices, as they do seem to vary quite a bit. Some are sold by vendors, but shipping may be free and marked 'Fulfilled by Amazon'. You can also search here for 'eb17', 'precision clean', or 'flexisoft' and you should be able to find them.



If you're shopping locally, be aware that there are counterfeit Oral-B heads on the market, and they may be hard to spot, though the Oral-B logo seems to wipe off on some of them. They're usually marked "Flexisoft" and have German and/or Chinese writing on them, and can break in two days to two weeks. The bogus brushes also present a health risk, especially for young children, as some have had the oscillating head break off or the brush part disintegrate. Enough said.



Speaking of brush heads, when you replace your Oral-B brush, don't just throw it out. Keep it and use it for effortlessly cleaning or polishing small items such as jewelry.

After only one week (or less) of use, product becomes lose, head wobbles, very noisy, pinches tongue, gums and inside of cheeks. I don't know if these are simply a bad batch from Oral-B or knock-offs. Waste of money!

I had read other reviews about this product purchased from the seller "Potential Dynamix" in which people complained about the product quality. The first brush head I used had a very loose head, which I assumed was just a single product defect. Then, the second brush head literally came apart as I was using it. I contacted Procter and Gamble and they asked me to mail the brush heads in for replacement. They just contacted me and informed me that the product was a counterfeit. I could not tell at all, as the packaging and product itself was not visibly any different from the actual brush head, other than it completely came apart after use. Again, stay away from this product as sold by "Potential Dynamix". (Note: "Potential Dynamix" has since changed their name to "DAB Nutrition")

after a week of using these heads they became wobbly, pinching my lips and my cheeks, noisy (rattling sound), and eventally broke in my mouth. I asked my husband about it and he didn't notice anything out of the ordinary...then his brush head did THE SAME EXACT THING MINE DID!!!!! They feel cheaply made compared to the ones I usually buy in the drug stores so i'm not sure if these are counterfeit or seconds from the manufacturer but either way they should not be sold on here and the seller should be banned for selling junk and shoddy products.....DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS SELLER - Oral B - Braun - Oral-b - Refill

Electric Toothbrush - power toothbrush, oral b


Click here for more information
Dentists all over the country are recommending the Oral-B electric toothbrush. There are several reasons. It does the work for you, vibrating thousands of times a second, it lets you clean your teeth without scraping your gums with a toothbrush, which can cause them to recede and bleed, and it reaches between your teeth to catch plaque and germs. This is a wonderful toothbrush, and I recommend it. However, if you want a review of a toothbrush, you'll read the toothbrush page. This is a page for replacement heads.There's a lot of confusion about replacement heads for Oral B electric toothbrushes on Amazon, and I just want to give you all some facts. There are only three kinds of heads for ALL Oral-B electric toothbrushes. Flexisoft EB17, Extrasoft EB17, and Ortho OD17. I prefer Flexisoft EB17, which is what this item is. (The Extrasoft is a little too soft, and the Ortho is overpriced)The reason I mention this is that the prices are all over the board for what is the same product. For example, this listing is for three Flexisoft EB17 heads for $19.99 (The EB17-3 just means there are three of them). There are other offers through Amazon partners for this exact same item for $9.99. Make sure you find the best deal, because they're all the exact same product, listed multiple times!

[This price] for three heads may seem pricey given what you can pick up three toothbrushes for, but the Braun electric toothbrush is really very effective, so for good dental hygiene it is worth getting.I like the colour rings provided in these sets, which allow multiple users to make use of a single electric toothbrush handle. The heads go white with use to tell you when they are ready for replacement.

product was different than picture. please make sure the products number if u want to order from this seller.

if it was a right one, still it was too old and seems like outdated(expired) stuff.



after returning to them, i couldn't get refund; i used the amazon dispute claim services for my refund.

I ordered this item from the seller shown above, but got it from different seller (Mr. Bargain). The description says '3 refills'. The package I got had 4 refills, and none of them could fit my professional care toothbrush.

These brushes are a very effective way of thoroughly cleaning your teeth and gums. The soft bristles clean your teeth and massage your gums efficiently, and the color bands are a convenient way to color-code heads for multiple users. There's even a spare in case you lose one.Of course you should still floss before brushing, but the small soft brush and the speed of the rotation makes daily dental hygiene easy and painless.When I ordered this item, it was shipped by an Amazon partner, who packaged it in a HUGE box, filled with plastic packing material. I could hardly find the small package inside the carton.High marks for the product, huge waste of packing material and postage for the packaging.

Purchased these items a few weeks ago. Already one head has fallen off and the second one is coming loose! These are somehow sub-standard or didn't pass quality control. They look original, but aren't up to the normal standard of replacement heads I have previously purchased.

I purchased a multi-pack of electric toothbrush heads from USHealth Tests and Products (via Amazon) several months ago. Unfortunately the competitive price of this product did not make up for the poor quality and unsafety of it. During brushing, small pieces of metal came out of the toothbrush heads and shot into the gums and lips, sometimes causing lacerations. After this, the round brushing part of the head would come loose itself.



After 3 of the toothbrush heads did this, I contacted the seller by email and then by phone and explained the problem to them. They apologized and explained that this was a generic product from a chinese manufacturer and although they had never run into this/any problem with their products before, they would send me a replacement (oral B original) product. I agreed.



Unfortunately, over the past few weeks, as I began to use these "original oral B" toothbrush heads, the same problem has recurred with pieces of metal shooting out of the rotating toothbrush head during brushing and hitting the gums and lips. I've been using oral B electric toothbrushes for a few years and have never seen anything like this. I'm not exactly sure if this second set I have received are really oral B products or not.



My point is that low price apparently means poor quality, at least in the case of this seller.

I purchased this from Mr. Bargain. As some others have noted, the package may have been imported from Germany. The text on the package is in several languages including English.



It is a Braun product, not any imitation. I immediately started using one of the brush heads to test it. It seems perfectly normal and fine, exactly the same as the brush heads that came with the original Braun toothbrush.



Mr. Bargain's service was outstanding. Within about 2 hours of placing the order on Amazon.com, I received an email from Mr. Bargain that it was being shipped. The email included the USPS tracking number. I received the product the next day by US Mail, packed in a nice padded envelope. - Power Toothbrush - Oral B - Oral-b - Refill
