Sonic Toothbrush

quip is powered by the same regular or rechargeable batteries as other electric brushes (AAA in our case). The difference with quip is its removable AAA battery that lasts for over 3 months. Other electrics with locked-in batteries may force you to keep a useless brush even if they stop working, or simply add expense with a separate charging stand. But remember, the efficacy of your toothbrush isn’t defined by power itself, but by how well you follow a proper brushing routine.

If you don't absolutely love your quip, we accept returns within 30 days of purchase. You'll get a full product cost refund if you use your own label. Should you need a shipping label from our help team, shipping costs will apply for returns of up to four quips in the United States. quip subscriptions are optional and be canceled anytime.

While your quip was designed to last, we do offer a limited warranty for select products that covers all manufacturing defects from the date of purchase through our website, authorized retailers, or received from an authorized dental professional (excluding normal wear and tear, product misuse/abuse, or lost items).

Choosing between quip’s plastic and metal sonic toothbrushes depends on your preferences in materials and design. While both metal and plastic are sleek, durable, lightweight, and ergonomic, metal has a more premium corrosion-resistant handle. The plastic toothbrush, on the other hand, is our most budget-friendly option, while still offering the same effective brushing technology. Both toothbrushes have a long lifespan with features like a 2-minute timer, 30-second quadrant pulses, and replaceable brush heads, ensuring a great oral care experience regardless of the material.

Sonic toothbrushes, like quip’s Plastic Sonic Toothbrush, use high-frequency vibrations to clean teeth and gums, creating dynamic fluid action that helps reach between teeth. They are ideal for users transitioning from manual toothbrushes, as they mimic a manual brushing motion with added cleaning efficiency. Oscillating toothbrushes, on the other hand, have a small, round brush head that rotates and pulsates to scrub each tooth surface thoroughly. Oscillating brushes are excellent for targeting plaque in tight spaces and often come with multiple cleaning modes for personalized care. Choose sonic for a gentle, broad clean or oscillating for targeted plaque removal.

Yes, dentists often recommend sonic toothbrushes, like quip’s Plastic Sonic Toothbrush, for their ability to deliver an effective yet gentle clean. The high-frequency vibrations help remove plaque, promote healthy gums, and reach areas that manual brushes might miss. Sonic toothbrushes are especially suitable for users with sensitive teeth or gums, as they provide a thorough clean without excessive pressure. With features like a 2-minute timer and replaceable brush heads, they support dentist-recommended oral care routines.

Choosing between sonic and oscillating toothbrushes depends on your needs and brushing style. quip’s original Sonic Toothbrush features "sensitive vibrations," which provide a gentle, effective clean without requiring excessive power. This makes it perfect for manual brush users transitioning to electric and those with sensitive teeth or gums. It works best with a manual back-and-forth brushing technique.

Oscillating toothbrushes, like quip’s 360 Oscillating Toothbrush, are ideal for users seeking precision cleaning. The small, rotating head reaches tight spaces and includes multiple modes, such as settings for sensitive mouths or extra power. Oscillating brushes should be used with a slow gliding technique to let the brush do the work. Choose sonic for simplicity and gentle care, or oscillating for targeted plaque removal and versatility.
