by Christopher Denny on December 3, 2011

Oral-B has two premium electric toothbrushes for retail sale, the Triumph 4000 which sells at nearly £140 and the Triumph 5000, available for the cost of nearly £170. The Triumph 4000 includes III types of brush head: floss action, 3 dimensional white and delicate clean brush heads. Included is a travel case and the charging station with inbuilt brush storage. The Triumph 5000 comes with identical brush heads, travel case and charging station but also may include the wireless digital Smart Guide unit. This is an especially advanced sonic electric toothbrush.

The toothbrushes have been slimmed down for a rather more sophisticated appearance and feature the Treble Action Pressure Control System with auditory, visible and sensory signals that inform the user if they are brushing their teeth with too much force. When exorbitant pressure is utilized while cleaning, the pulsating action is halted and a red light flashes on the handle. The brushing mode is switched to ‘sensitive ‘ therefore reducing the brushing speed and preventing teeth and gum damage. These Oral-B toothbrushes have a straightforward to reach stop button and colour LED handle displays so battery lifespan and brushing mode can be seen easily. In the handle of Triumph 4000 you will even find a timer to observe ideal brushing time.

The Triumph 5000 includes the definitive feature, the new improved wireless digital Smart Guide unit, which has a Star Reward system to encourage brushing. The unit also has a timer, pressure alert, quadrant prompt and ‘replace brush head ‘ indicator and wirelessly syncs with the toothbrush to give real-time feedback on teeth cleaning. The Star Reward system consists of 5 stars that illuminate one at a time as teeth are brushed, giving a 5 star rating when brushed correctly in the allotted time. The quadrant prompt informs you after 30 seconds to sweep a different area of your mouth, therefore helping to completely clean all four quadrants. The Victory 5000 will also memorise total brushing time and make it clear when to replace the brush head.

These powerful Oral-B toothbrushes supply superior three dimensional cleaning technology as they palpitate, rotate and oscillate to get rid of 2x as much plaque as a standard manual toothbrush. The Victory 4000 has four cleaning modes: daily clean, delicate, polish and deep clean. The Triumph 5000 has an additional ‘massage ‘ mode for delicate kick of gums, a visible indicator on the Smart Guide unit shows the brush mode. Both models have brushing mode icons in the LED display on the handle so brushing mode can be selected simply and are compatible with a good range of Oral-B brush heads, including precision clean, floss action, twin action, delicate clean and three dimensional white.

Oral-B’s Triumph 5000 is the only electric toothbrush accepted by the British Dental Health Foundation with the highest platinum rating, the Chief of the English Dental Health Foundation giving it 10/10 for a chargeable toothbrush.
