Not sure which electric toothbrush will really make you smile? Let us help you out!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For many years, the only option when purchasing an electric toothbrush was a standard design with basic features. While some brands follow conventional oral care approaches, they always tend to leave little to the imagination.<\/p>\n

FOREO, one of the world\u2019s most innovative beauty brands saw the need for a change, and in August 2014 they launched ISSA, the first redesign of the electric toothbrush<\/a> in over 60 years. Since its debut – ISSA has taken the oral care market by storm with its innovative range that features five different models.<\/p>\n

Although all toothbrushes claim<\/i> to be effective – they are certainly not all created equal. Torn between a traditional electric toothbrush with nylon bristles or a next-generation model like ISSA 2 from FOREO? Let\u2019s break it down for you.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Cleanest Way To Brush<\/b><\/h4>\n

Your toothbrush is currently sitting on your bathroom counter – still wet from when you brushed your teeth this morning – and if it\u2019s a nylon-bristled toothbrush, there\u2019s a high probability it\u2019s collecting loads of bacteria as you\u2019re reading this sentence. With that being said, a hygienic, bacteria-resistant toothbrush is the only way to ensure a whole mouth is clean, and with the ISSA range, it\u2019s totally attainable.<\/p>\n

FOREO\u2019s ISSA 2<\/a> features a cross-design of durable PBT polymer bristles and ultra-soft medical-grade silicone<\/a> with a flexible brush head. The natural properties of silicone and PBT polymer harbor less bacteria and therefore are much healthier than nylon-bristled brushes.<\/p>\n

In fact, the ISSA 2 replaceable brush head is so clean that it lasts up to six months before it needs to be replaced. <\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For standard electric toothbrushes, they recommend you change the brush head approximately every three months, meaning you need to fork over cash four times a year to replace it. If you go with ISSA 2, it\u2019s like you\u2019re already saving money. #WINNING<\/p>\n

\"ISSA<\/p>\n

Impressive Technology <\/b><\/h4>\n

All toothbrushes clean your teeth, but ISSA 2 features sonic pulse technology that elevates your level of brushing. With 16 adjustable speeds, the hybrid bristles channel 11,000 high-intensity pulsations per minute to create micro-sweeps that effectively and gently clean the teeth and gums.<\/p>\n

The ideal brushing experience offers an invigorating clean that is strong on the plaque, but still gentle on gums and the ISSA 2 always delivers that experience with the combination of silicone bristles and PBT-polymer. Compared to regular electric toothbrushes with harsh nylon bristles, ISSA\u2019s technology reigns superior.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Extra Long-Lasting Charge<\/b><\/h4>\n

What\u2019s the most annoying part of having an electric toothbrush that you can think of? Let me guess\u2026..constantly having to charge it? Thought so.<\/p>\n

ISSA 2 features an incredible battery life – a 1-hour charge lasts up to 365 uses!<\/p>\n

Yes- you read that correctly. Not only do you <\/b>only<\/i><\/b> need to charge the device once or twice per year – the actual charger is a tiny USB and won\u2019t take up any valuable space on your vanity. <\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Unfortunately, regular electric toothbrushes need to be recharged every 21 days \u2013 \u00a0you can\u2019t even go a full month without needing to charge your toothbrush…how annoying.<\/p>\n

In this category, I think we can all agree it\u2019s a no-brainer which is more ideal.<\/p>\n
