A review combined with a short funny story.
I've been using Oral-B electric toothbrushes for nearly 10 years. Had the Sonic 200 for 8 years then recently replaced it with a Pro-3000. Our son is 11. About 5 months ago, our family dentist recommended our 11 year old son get braces. I had braces growing up, but really didn't know if they were right for our son. He's very inconsistent with brushing. For that matter, he's even inconsistent when it comes to taking a shower. Thanks to my old orthodontist having those scare photos in his office. The ones that shows holes in teeth of people who had braces, but didn't take care of them, I really was stuck on the fence.
My wife and mom talked me into getting the braces. First month checkup: Wife takes him and I hear nothing to make me think anything was wrong. Second month was the same. I was checking them myself, but I'm not an orthodontist. Third month checkup, my mom took him for his checkup. Mom is around 70 and while she typically will take up for the kids, she also isn't as bad as my wife for going overboard and telling "white lies" for the kids. I admit it. I'm hard on the kids compared to most parents these days. With a history in psychology and being raised by in a lower income single parent home made me realize how hard life can be, but also made me appreciate things I didn't think I would appreciate as a kid ... like when my mom worked double shifts to pay for my braces.
She tells me the orthodontist was pretty upset with our son and said he's been fussing at him every month for not brushing enough and not brushing good enough. I talked to our son that night and told him he had a month to get things turned around. I would be taking him for his fourth month checkup. I honestly believe he really tried. He brushed after each meal and before going to bed, but the orthodontist said it wasn't enough improvement. We were driving home. I asked our son what he wanted for his birthday. He of course named off a dozen different video games on the Xbox 360 and the big one "Or you could get me an Xbox One". I nodded, "So pretty much anything electronic?" He nodded back, "Now you're getting it!"
So yeah, this toothbrush was his electronic birthday present. He couldn't believe it. Neither could my wife. I also added the ortho head replacement to make it easier to brush around the brackets. I thought he was going to become stubbon(er) and yes, as most parents will tell you, stubboner is a word. Then he tried the toothbrush. He liked it. I would even say he loved it. I told my wife he can't be trusted. There's some kind of ulterior motive going on. But there wasn't. I had taken him fishing a few days later. We were right near his orthodontist so we stopped in and had him check his progress. The orthodontist was impressed.
As far as the product itself:
It charges well. A note that I left on my review of my Pro-3000 is to wipe the brush handle off after every use. It at least slows the build-up of gunk on the charging base.
The ortho-head is worth it if you're buying it for someone with braces. It has more of an open area in the middle to fit around braces to clean around the edges of the brackets.
I saw a few questions about the sound of this model. It's a little louder than my Pro-3000. I can hear our son using it, but it's not that loud.
I do recommend it especially for those, like our son, who believes teeth clean themselves. He uses it 4 times a day and hasn't complained a single time. You really can see the difference. I think I saw the difference when he used it a few times and kept talking about how "nice and clean" his mouth felt. Now if we can figure out a body wash to take care of the avoiding showers problems we will be set.

Good toothbrush, but has nothing Frozen related on the brush itself.
Got this for my 2 year old daughter who LOVES Frozen. We were kind of bummed it didn't have anything Frozen on the brush heads or brush.But it still does its main job of brushing her teeth quickly, because toddlers hate holding still or opening their mouths. Lol. Her first dentist visit was a success, and this tooth brush has been working for a while now. We are pretty happy with it!
