We’ve just reviewed the Oral-B Triumph Toothbrush System – a teeth-cleaning system from Braun that claims to be the most advanced toothbrush out there. This is an electric toothbrush with a built-in wireless transmitter that sends information about your brushing session to a separate screen. This ensures you clean all areas of your mouth and counts down to the optimal brushing time of two minutes as recommended by dentists.
