Battle Of The Bristles: Suri vs. Oral-B
According to Two Very Opinionated Dentists.
In the rarefied air of dental couture, where plaque meets polish and sonic pulses flirt with gingival margins, a quiet rivalry hums beneath the surface. On one side: Dr. Ashley, a connoisseur of clinical precision and unapologetic Oral-B loyalist. On the other: Dr. Chris, the eco-chic disruptor with a penchant for minimalist design and a toothbrush named Suri. But what brush should we be using? Is style better than substance?
This is not your average brush-off - a battle to the bristle end.
Contender #1: Oral-B iO: The Powerhouse Classic
Dr. Ashley’s weapon of choice is the Oral-B iO. A brush that doesn’t just clean, it performs. With oscillating-rotating micro-vibrations and a round head inspired by professional dental tools, it’s backed by a litany of clinical trials. One 2024 randomised study found the iO removed 25% more plaque than its predecessor, especially in hard-to-reach areas. It’s the Bentley of brushes — sleek, powerful, and unapologetically high-tech.
“It’s not just a toothbrush, it’s a plaque-fighting precision instrument. And yes, it tells me when I’m brushing too hard or in the unlikely event I’ve missed a bit. I like a brush that talks back.”
Contender #2: Suri: The Sustainable Darling
Dr. Chris, meanwhile, glides into the conversation with a Suri in hand — Winter Fern green, naturally. Suri (short for Sustainable Rituals) is the darling of the eco-conscious elite. With a repairable aluminium body, plant-based recyclable heads, and a 40-day battery life, it’s the toothbrush for those who compost, meditate, and probably own linen sheets.
“It’s whisper-quiet, gorgeously designed, and doesn’t scream at me with Bluetooth notifications. Plus, it doesn’t end up in landfill. Can your Oral-B say that?”
Conclusion?
Ultimately the research supports Oral B's efficacy at plaque removal and all round functionality but that doesn't mean in the right hands the Suri can't be a worthy next best thing! And worthy it is, sustainability reports mean you can start (and finish!) your day in a virtuous way.
