TiFinity Toothbrush
$47.00
Released February, 2007
The Pros:Lasts 10x longer than a typical toothbrush. Ultra-fine bristles get in between hard-to-reach places. It cleans 15% better. cost $25.
The Cons:Brushing with metal is not very appealing. You could swallow a titanium bristle if one falls out.
The TiFinity Toothbrush is a major shift from typical toothbrushes because it uses titanium bristles instead of the standard nylon. The titanium bristles are super thin to reach deep into crevices, while maintaining the same softness as a nylon bristle.
The major advantage of titanium over nylon is that titanium is resistant to water and bacteria, so instead of absorbing them, they get repelled, resulting in a cleaner brush. The titanium is also more elastic and durable, allowing you to keep your toothbrush for 2 to 5 years, versus the recommended 3 months.
According to studies - some of which seem to have been done by the TiFinity manufacturers themselves - the TiFinity shows to be more effective than the Sonicare toothbrush and has the same abrasive properties as a standard nylon brush. For another example of advanced toothbrush technology see the Ultreo.
Note: It's important to replace your TiFinity as soon as the bristles begin to fall out or appear to fail in some way. This may result in the unintentional swallowing of the titanium bristles.

#tifinity_toothbrush I bought one of these and it is amazing! The bristles are so soft and my teeth have never felt cleaner. I was always a flosser and now I don't floss near as much. Not only do my teeth feel amazingly clean, they are becoming whiter as well. No fear of bristles killing me. Try this brush before you make any judgements. You will not be sorry. How can wanting better dental health be a bad thing?

#tifinity_toothbrush Hahaha, the note warning people that they could swallow a titanium bristle made me laugh, and seeing "you could swallow a titanium bristle if one falls out" as a con got me going too. Just thinking about it is funny. A perfect, reasonable product that is almost too good to be true, only not perfect, completely irrational - and it could potentially kill you.

#tifinity_toothbrush This brush cleans 15% better then the leading electric brush the Sonicare. Plus nylon drops 10% in performance every month. So after 3 months use the TiFinity cleans 45% better then Sonicare. Exact same abrasivness as nylon. PLUS TIFINITY COST ONLY $25! SONICARE - cost 4 times as much for half the performance.... no thanks. I'LL GO WITH TIFINITY!
