We say we saw a difference because rather than judging on a brighter smile, which is quite subjective, we focussed on just one canine that was slightly duller than the rest and there did seem to be a difference, not after a day, but certainly after a week.

Using the W3 premium white brush head in conjunction with white+ mode we not only seemed to see a difference, but also feel one as the white+ mode seemed to get the balance right in terms of the intensity of the clean, leaving us with that squeaky clean teeth feeling. There is something about the super fast, sonic pulsations delivered by the diamondclean that is very satisfying during brushing and it really feels like it’s shaking food loose from between the teeth compared with an oscillating brush head which feels a little more aggressive in its cleaning action.

This is an especially nice option for those making the jump from a manual to introduce them to the feeling of powered brushing. For example, as we were testing for the brush’s whitening capabilities we attached the W3 premium white brush head and we knew that the brush would begin in white+ mode, leaving us to choose the intensity.Īnd speaking of the intensity, for sonic brushing newbies the 9000 features EasyStart, which gradually increases the intensity of the brush head over a week’s worth of brushing sessions, until it’s fully up to speed at 31,000 strokes. The four modes are clean, white+, gum health and deep clean+ and we really liked how the brush is smart enough to recognise, which brush head is attached to sync it with the right mode.

Of course, to do so you’re going to need to find the right cleaning mode for you and the 9000 allows you to really tailor your regime with, effectively, 12 different cleaning modes. It’s this brush head that allows the 9000 to make the whitening claims that it does, as it’s densely populated with mildly abrasive bristles that gradually reduce the presence of stains on the teeth surface. The angled neck makes it easy to access the corners of your mouth, while the brush head itself is the usual, oval sonicare shape.

Like all current sonicare releases, the brush handle is nice and tactile with good balance and even though it’s smooth with no friction points the matte plastic finish doesn’t get slippery when wet.
