I'm thinking the answer is no. In this economy, who wants to pay upwards of $80 for a toothbrush that essentially does the brushing for you, not to mention the replacement toothbrush heads, which cost an additional $35 for 3 or 4 of them. That is not to say that it isn't nice to have a product that helps you do the work; I personally buy the battery powered toothbrushes at a cost of about $6.99. Each one lasts approximately 3 months, which is the typical length of time the dentists recommend for a toothbrush before you change it out, and that makes the total cost per year about $28 and my teeth feel just as clean as with the more expensive toothbrush (you know, the one you have to charge once a week to keep it going) without the expense.
This is just a personal rant....others may feel differently, but until someone proves to me that an expensive toothbrush is actually better, I'm going with the cheaper option!
Feel free to weigh in on this....doctors and consumers!

I buy the cheaper one too! I'm not spending $60+ on one toothbrush!
I guess it doesn’t matter what type of toothbrush you are using. The important thing is that you brush properly. Even if you use the ordinary type of toothbrush, you could still have great results if it is use in a correct manner.
