 It worked okay, but it really feels big April 2, 2005

I had read the reviews about this bigger head, and I thought cool, twice the brushing power in the same amount of time! However, after having received it, I'm a little dissappointed. It doesn't appear as though it's that big, but it feels very large in mouth. It felt like I was trying to brush my teeth with my thumb. I had trouble getting the brush into the far reaches of my mouth whereas before with the smaller head I had no problems. I'm not a small person either, I'm 6'1" and 190lbs, with an average size mouth. It's really not that different than the standard head, it's just bigger. I think what bothered me most about the bigger head is that the angles at which you approach your teeth are now more limited because of the increased brush size. Because of this, getting the brush into every nook and cranny is now more difficult. Also, because it is bigger, it's harder to close your mouth around the wand, which means you get more toothpaste goo running down the brush.
Unfortunately, I bought the economical 3-pack. I should have bought the single one just to try it out, but I was certain I'd love the bigger one. Oh well...

The Oral-B DualAction EB417 refill brush will fit into most Oral B power brushes. Almost all replacements for Oral -B do. I did notice in the buyer info though, that this one will not fit the CrossAction power brush. I bought this as a replacement for a single head brush, so at first it felt to big for my mouth. But with use I got used to holding it at different angles to get the most from the dual action heads.
You get twice the cleaning action with this two head power brush. It gets into tight places(practically like flossing), reaches the back teeth nicely, gives a great massaging action for your gums, and does a good job of removing plaque, leaving your mouth feeling totally refreshed. It will last a long time(I found nearly 3 months, brushing 2x a day). The thing is, with a power brush, you only need to hold it gently and guide it. If you use it like a regular toothbrush, and help it brush, or press too hard, it will not last as long. This one, as most Oral-B power brushes, indicates when it is time for a new brush(colors fade). The packaging has a picture showing you the difference of new and used. Also, just a small amount of your favorite toothpaste, goes along way.
Buying them in this 3 pack is the most economical way to go. It's almost like getting one for free. My package also came with 4 different color rings that fit at the base of the handle where it connects to the charging base. These different colors are great for telling each brush apart from the others.

When I first switched from a standard toothbrush to Braun's power rotating brush head, I was surprised at how much cleaner it made my teeth feel. Then I tried this DualAction brush head, and loved it even more in about 3 seconds. Still do. In fact, I recently ordered 5 of the 3-packs all at once because I've had trouble finding them in stores and I was afraid they would stop making them or change the design.
Now, it is true that at first it feels like you've put one of those power floor scrubbers in your mouth, in that it feels kinda big and industrial until you're used to it. But boy does it make your teeth and gums feel cleaner. And I was accustomed to the different feel by the end of my first brushing with it. If that sounds potentially troubling to you, I recommend just buying a one-pack the first time. It's not cheap, after all, but for me it's been well worth the cost. Do try it.
I should also note that when I mentioned to my dentist that I've been using this, she referred to it as a "business killer." I take that as another good sign.

I was leery of the shape at first, but after one brushing, I'm hooked! The teeth are much slicker compared to the standard round head after brushing. The head is bigger, but the round part can reach hard spots.
More bristles, more buzzzzzz. May 27, 2005

One of these brush heads came with my Oral B 980TX power toothbrush. I liked it so much more than the regular FlexiSoft head that I immediately ordered the 3-pack.
The extra bristles with their side-to-side oscillation add more oomph to the Oral B's tingle-inducing cleaning action. I can feel it all the way to the base of each tooth. When I rinse, I see more loosened debris swirling down the drain. I finish my morning brushing with a hydrogen peroxide rinse, and, man oh man, does it get foamy, an indication of freshly cleaned dental and gum surfaces.
The price is already a bargain but with additional available discounts like Free Super Saver Shipping, it's a steal.
