Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
N.B. The Amazon Product Page today [04/05/09] confirms what you may have read elsewhere: "Discontinued by manufacturer: Yes" Tough world. See my comment (the 4th) for more.
I developed a moderate dry mouth condition 4 months ago that puts me at risk now for at least cavities at the gum line but also possibly gum disease.
It has been about 5 years since my last cavity and 2 years since minor preventative surgery at 2 sites between molars where it seems flossing no longer could reach due to receding of the gums. I'd been manually brushing carefully (as well as using either floss or a tooth pick) since the dry mouth developed.
Facing possible drilling, oral surgery for my gums, and even toothaches are great incentives to want to find an effective toothbrush. My dentist does not think a manual tooth brush will be sufficient [I strongly suggest checking with your dentist or dental hygienist before selecting this or any other toothbrush: teeth and gums seem too important not to get professional advice about.]
I've been using the Ultreo for 27 days now, so just one day short of 4 weeks which is hopefully long enough to get over any "new toy" enthusiasm. I use the Ultreo twice a day, morning and evening, and manually brush at lunch. The results have been quite positive:
1) less discoloration. My teeth have become more evenly white and one area on a front tooth that stood out blended in within a few days of using the Ultreo despite having stood out for several years (my hygienist had not been concerned about it but I'm pleased not to have it noticeable).
2) almost no bleeding of my gums now when I floss or use a tooth pick. Before it seems I'd always have bleeding when I flossed or used the tooth pick no matter how often or carefully I manually brushed. My gums look much better.
3) after brushing with the Ultreo, my mouth feels significantly clean and , if I don't eat, can remain that way for several hours. I wouldn't say it feels just like after a dental cleaning but close. The teeth and gums do look almost as good as after a dental cleaning but there is something my hygienist uses that leaves my mouth tasting good. I'm getting similar but not quite as good a result by using a mouthwash after brushing.
4) minor pain due to sensitivity is now gone almost completely since I began using the Ultreo: so long as I don't skip a brushing it is gone. Before and while using the Ultreo I've done once a day fluoride treatment so the reduced sensitivity may be due to ongoing use of the fluoride but the sensitivity began being significantly reduced when I started using the Ultreo and now as long as I use the Ultreo twice a day it's gone.
I hadn't gotten any of these results from manual brushing. I'm still getting used to using the Ultreo but the long slim neck, the slim-waisted handle and the light weight do make it easy to maneuver in my mouth.
The Ultreo quick-tips sheet does address having a dry mouth, recommending taking a sip of water before brushing to keep the bristles wet. I can see the "microbubbles" (foam) if I look, although now I usually keep my mouth closed around the brush and guide it along or near the gum line by feel.
In less than 2 months, I'll have my next dental cleaning and my hygienist will be able to evaluate the condition of my gums. I'm expecting she will be impressed. I do feel an increased confidence about my smile and about knowing that finally my brushing has been showing some benefits (more even white, almost no sensitivity so long as I don't skip any brushing, almost no bleeding, persistent clean feeling after brushing until I eat next). Of course, I have to keep brushing and using floss or a tooth pick but I would in any event: no magic there.
It would be hard for me to love a toothbrush, I see it as just one tool along with floss, tooth picks, mouthwash and fluoride trays that I use for the chore of keeping my teeth and gums in good shape. But the Ultreo seems to be a worthwhile tool that will address the challenge posed by my dry mouth condition so I am expecting my dentist and hygienist will be pleased with the results ... as am I.
Description of Ultreo Ultrasound Toothbrush
The best way to feel confident about the power toothbrush Dentist recommend is to try UltreoŽ for yourself. We guarantee your teeth will feel cleaner than ever before. " Ultreo is the first power toothbrush to combine patented ultrasound waveguide technology with precisely tuned sonic bristle action. Ultreo's bristles create microbubbles that are powerfully activated by nearly 4 million cycles of ultrasound energy per brushing channeled by a patented ultrasound waveguide. What to Expect The Ultreo brushing experience is unlike any other toothbrush. Here are some useful tips to help you become accustomed to the unique feel. We guarantee that after the initial adjustment period, your teeth will feel cleaner than ever before. * As ultrasound requires a fluid medium to perform effectively, try to keep as much fluid around the bristles as possible while you brush. * Ultreo has been designed to work with a small "pea-sized" amount of toothpaste. * Ultreo should be used with gentle pressure and a light touch. * Keep the bristles, not the waveguide, in contact with the teeth and gumline while brushing. * You may feel the waveguide touching your teeth at first. This is normal and most users report that the waveguide is not noticeable at all after the first few brushings.How Ultreo Works
