12 heads over 36 months at Oral-B's stated 3-month interval, less 3 heads in the box. Head price: Oral-B iO Ultimate Clean 9-count, $64.99 on oralb.com. How this is worked out

Where these figures come from

Every figure is the maker’s own, from its US product page, spec sheet or store, and the ADA listing comes from the ADA’s own site. A figure the maker does not publish is left out rather than estimated. The three-year cost, gum-safety and travel chips are worked out from those figures here.
