Reminder bristles tell patients it’s time for a new brush head

Even the extra soft bristles on Philips Sonicare brush heads must maintain a certain amount of stiffness to effectively remove plaque. Studies show that bristles begin to lose their stiffness due to splay and fatigue after three months of normal use, even though these changes are only visible with a microscope. Our blue reminder bristles are designed to give a visual indication of this microscopic breakdown, letting patients know when it’s time to replace their brush head.
