Summary: Decent toothbrush
Comment: I've been brushing my teeth with this brush for a few months now, however I can't find anything spectacular to warrant the price.

Observations:
The brush makes a pitched vibrating noise when in use.
The carrying case could have been designed smaller.
Replacement heads are over $20.
This electric toothbrush is NOT for people who brush hard.

Summary: Exit Your Hygienist
Comment: This ultrasound toothbrush has been in use for six months. It has been used for about 45 sec twice a day, although the recommended use is 2 min twice a day. Tartar has decreased dramatically and pockets in gums were reduced in half. My dentist looked at my teeth and gums and promptly ordered one for his office. The toothbrush lasts for at least 6 months with my moderate use. I highly recommend this product compared to the Sonicare which I have used in the past. My frequency of hygienist appointments has decreased to two per year.

Summary: Gentle, thorough high-tech cleaning
Comment: I had been a sonicare user since it came on the market more than a decade ago. It was, and still is, an excellent product. However, as a dentist, I was intrigued by Ultreo's incorporation of an ultrasound element into a toothbrush, coupling "sonic" bristle action with ultrasound energy. Previous attempts to do this had failed because the ultrasound energy wasn't focused close enough to the teeth.

Ultreo has overcome this problem with the introduction of a "wave guide", an orange, dome-shaped polymeric element inserted into the center of the brush head. The wave guide transmits ultrasound waves to the bristletips from an ultrasound transducer element buried in the bristleplate of the brush head.

The down-side of this engineering breakthrough is that the wave guide, though relatively small, dictates that the width of the Ultreo brush head is wider than the current sonicare. The up-side however more than compensates for that because the Ultreo is dramatically more gentle than the sonicare, while still providing excellent plaque and stain removal. This is a big plus for people who are concerned about gum recession, or who were bothered by sonicare's "tickling" action.

I've always had excellent oral hygiene and I've found use of the Ultreo continues to keep my teeth free of plaque, stain and tartar. One of the electronic features is an audible beep that occurs every 30 seconds during its two-minute brushing cycle. While sonicare also has this feature, I find that the Ultreo is easier to hear and is a pleasant reminder to move on to the next area of my mouth.

I've used the Ultreo for over a year and am highly satisfied with its performance. It is a quality product with several technology features than enhance my "user satisfaction". The charger base is compact and the charger cord can be disconnected from the base, allowing you to use the base just as a stand when you aren't charging the handle. The charger is designed to allow use in Europe and other parts of the world that use a different line voltage than the US. There is an LED display ath the base of the handle that tells you when the batteries are running low (if you don't keep it charging constantly). This LED also indicates when the brush is charging and when the batteries are fully charged.

Another nice feature of the Ultreo is the brush head is easy to remove, and doesn't collect the messy gunk between/beneath the connection of the brush head to the handle that occured with my sonicare. Overall, this is a wonderful product. It doesn't eliminate the need to floss daily, but perhaps is a step in that direction.

Summary: Nothing special and expensive replacement brushes
Comment: I've used Sonic Care for many years and have always been satisfied. When the rechargeable batteries finally failed I decided to shop for a new electric toothbrush. Ultreo was the latest and greatest and despite the relatively high cost I took the plunge. The unit just stopped working at the three month mark. The customer service was extremely helpful and replaced my handle without a hassle. It's really no better than anything else I've used and the replacement heads are REALLY expensive. One thing that really drives me nuts is that about twenty-five percent of the time toothpaste tends to run down the handle and splatter down the front of my shirt... I've never had that happen with any other toothbrush.
