How it moves

The elongated head vibrates side to side at high frequency; you hold it at the gumline and sweep along the teeth.

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.
