What is the difference between a sonic toothbrush and a rotating toothbrush

Rotary VS Soinc type

1.Working principle is different ;   ( e.g Sonicare is up-down to work,   Oral B is  left-right to work)

*Rotary electric toothbrush is driven by the rotation of the motor to rotate the toothbrush head, the head moves in a circular motion at is normally from 3,000~7,600 stokes/min. A toothbrush where the head alternates direction is called rotation oscillation.

*Sonic vibration toothbrush  is based on high-frequency vibration of a micro-motor , which drives the toothbrush head to oscillate up and down at high speed to clean the interstitial residue and dental plaque of the toothbrush. The speed of this vibration is as high as 31,000 times per minute . You may be aware there is  full power 62,000 brush movements-per minute brushing action.

2. Using function is difference;

Rotary electric toothbrush can clean teeth by rotating vibration. Besides daily brushing, it can also be used to massage gums, which has a good therapeutic and preventive effect on common toothbrush diseases.

if we used to be smoking and eat Alkaline food, it is recommended use the sonic electric toothbrush, because the energy of the sound wave is transmitted to the surface of teeth ad gums through the bristles, which can remove up to 5 mins the plaque,and strongly clean the tartar in the teeth, as well as the tiny  tartar and the adhesion of the teeth. It can remove the residual macula well.
