Independent Brushing

“autobrush has made brushing her teeth not only an independent task for Abby but also a fun one. Switching from her regular electric toothbrush, which she was using, to the autobrush for Kids has made such an impact on her daily life and has made that part of her daily routine so much easier and so much more enjoyable. We love implementing tools for her just to allow her to be an independent, typical 6 year old. It's just so important for us to set her up to succeed in the future.”

- Emily Meagher, Abby’s mom

Gentle Brushing

“I have more gum recession than I would like to have from years of hard brushing and electric toothbrushes. Recently I've noticed that I am dreading brushing my teeth due to sensitive teeth and gums - so overall brushing is quite uncomfortable. autobrush beautifully solved these problems. This product is revolutionizing oral care!!"

Better Brushing

"Brushing Jackson’s teeth has been one of the most difficult aspects with his Autism. When it was at his worst, we had to really hold J to brush his teeth & it was so incredibly heartbreaking to do. But ever since we started using the autobrush, he not only allows us to do it, but has developed the independence to do it himself! We have officially ended brush wars and I cannot believe it."

- Jessie Lipscomb, Jackson’s mom

Improved Oral Hygiene

"For so long my mom has struggled with making sure my brothers' teeth get a thorough cleaning. She’s been recommended to so many different brushes but they still don’t meet their needs. autobrush has given the boys independence, and my mom the reassurance that their teeth and gums are healthy!"

- Brianna Pinner on her and her brothers' autobrush experience

Makes Brushing Fun“The autobrush for Kids really takes the chore out of brushing. I think this is great for all children because it makes brushing super fun. It's a great motivator. It can also be really good for those with special needs or sensory issues." Kelly Hanco*ck Registered Dental Hygienist autobrush®: Sonic Pro Kids Sibling Pack Bundle Get Your Kids Excited“If you have such a struggle getting them (your kids) brushing in the first place, this is a really great option. The music is what got my kids excited about it and love it!" Dr. Clara D. Griffey Doctor of Dental Surgery autobrush®: Sonic Pro Kids Can't Stop Raving About ThisI truly feel that so many kids who might struggle with a manual toothbrush would love using this. Dr. Paulina Ghassabian autobrush®: Sonic Pro Kids Total Package
autobrush is really helping me instill good dental hygiene habits in my kids! It is also dentist approve which is a huge relief. We have tried a few other kinds of 360 toothbrushes from other companies and they kept breaking or losing the charge until they eventually just died. We decided to just spend the money on the big name and you can tell right away that the quality blows everyone else out of the water. Timorie from Texas We've tried all versions of autobrush and this is the best. I've been following this brand for a long time since I first heard about them a few years ago. Saw the ups and downs and positive and negative reviews and I've been waiting for a brush head with nylon bristles. Now they have one and it's been worth the wait! I whip this thing around in my mouth for thirty seconds and I get that nice clean feeling on my teeth. David B. from New York Prior to the autobrush, we would bribe our 4 year old to brush her teeth. She used to scream and throw fits when it was time to brush her teeth. Now, she wakes up and immediately brushes her teeth without hesitation. Not only does she love it, but it is cleaning her teeth better than her previous mechanical toothbrush. Love this product! Tori M. from Connecticut
