ORAL-B Toothbrush CROSSACTION PRO 570

Product Information

Plaque is a harmful substance that builds up on teeth and around the gumline and you want to remove this as effectively as possible.

The physical size and weight of the two brushes are the same. Both measure in at (with brush head) 23 x 2.5 x 3 cm and weighs 130g. With either the Pro 600 or 650 during a cleaning cycle at 30 second intervals, you will get an audible and visible notification to change quadrant via a slight pause in the brush head movement. When this happens it is time to change quadrants. Whilst technically any of the Oral-B brush heads can be fitted and used on any of the cleaning modes, some are better suited to particular cleaning modes. We discuss this and include diagrams in our Oral-B brush head comparison post.CrossAction – These are our most advanced brush head technology. The bristles are perfectly angled for a precise clean and the professionally inspired design of the brush head surrounds each tooth with bristles angled at 16 degrees. These models oscillate at 8,800 movements per minute and 20,000 pulsations per minute. The handle also features a really handy pressure sensor which detects when you are brushing too hard and stops the pulsations to help protect your gums. They also have a 2 minute built-in timer which pulsates every 30 seconds to let you know when to switch areas of the mouth. Find out which products offer the timer here.

However, what is great about an electric toothbrush over a manual brush is the increased consistency in cleaning motion that it can offer and this is why you will often see toothbrush manufacturers claiming up to 100% more plaque removal.Our Oral-B 1000 models are an excellent choice and they are all actually the same unit in terms of power and technicality. The difference between them is the brush head which comes in the box (eg. CrossAction 1000 will have a CrossAction toothbrush head), and the color of the toothbrush handle.

As far as cleaning modes go, both brushes offer exactly the same cleaning mode, that is the ‘Daily Clean’ mode which is found on every Oral-B brush.

In writing this comparison I almost feel that I am cheating you into believing there is more between these two brushes than there really is, but the fact of the matter is that the 3 bullet points above summarise the key differences between these two brushes.

If however you are looking for a simple, get the job done electric toothbrush either of these models will suit you nicely. Precision Clean – These feature high-low bristles with longer bristles at the top and bottom to provide better inter-dental cleaning as they penetrate hard-to-reach areas. The more premium brushes offer additional cleaning modes which are suitable if you have more advanced oral healthcare needs or are looking for a particular programme such as whitening. Both brushes are available with a different number of brush heads. 1 brush head comes supplied in the box, but the most common heads are the CrossAction, Sensi UltraThin, 3D White and FlossAction.Where the Pro 650 may appeal to some a little more is the inclusion of a travel case or tube of toothpaste. The actual contents depends on the retailer. Most common now is the tube of paste. The built in battery is rechargeable and will last for approximately 28 minutes or 7 days, based on one user.
