Though electric toothbrushes are undoubtedly the better choice over manual brushes, when it comes to a sonic or an oscillating brush type, there is minimal variant in-between. Ultimately, it is usually a matter of personal preference here. Both types have rotating and oscillating features, but the sonic toothbrush perhaps moves faster than an oscillating brush. Though some people claim this makes them work more efficiently, some people aren’t that keen on the sensations of this faster speed overall.
