Braun Oral-B Advance Power Kids Disney Princess Toothbrush Review
For most parents, actually getting your children to show any kind of interest whatsoever in oral health and hygiene can be a challenge to say the least. More often than not, kids find the idea of brushing their teeth unpleasant and inconvenient, doing as much as they possibly can to make the process equally unpleasant for parents. As such, dentists recommend doing whatever it takes to try and make the idea of brushing not only less unpleasant, but perhaps even enjoyable. Easier said than done? Perhaps in some instances, but it’s also true to say that switching to a better brush really could make all the difference in the world.
And as far as little girls are concerned, the Braun Oral-B Advance Power Kids Toothbrush Disney Princess ticks all the right boxes.

Dentists recommend introducing kids to electric brushing from the age of three – the Braun Oral-B Advance Power Kids Toothbrush Disney Princess might just help make the transition a genuinely enjoyable one!
Design

In the case of the Braun Oral-B Advance Power Kids Toothbrush Disney Princess, what you are looking at is an extremely high quality, high-performance electric toothbrush that has been designed to be as enjoyable to use as possible.

Even the packaging has been designed in a way that is guaranteed to appeal to kids – chances are they’ll be genuinely excited to rip it open and get started right away.
For a toothbrush with such a low purchase price, the build quality of the Braun Oral-B Advance Power Kids Toothbrush Disney Princess is surprisingly robust. Which technically speaking is a good idea, given the way in which kids are not known to treat things like this particularly gently! It is manufactured largely from high quality plastic, with plenty of rubberised material around the back of the handle to improve grip during use. Even when wet, it doesn’t get too slippery to manage. Along with this, it is just the right size, shape and weight for young hands to use and enjoy using.

Performance
In terms of performance, it’s safe to say that the Braun Oral-B Advance Power Kids Toothbrush Disney Princess is most certainly not all about form without function. Quite to the contrary in fact, the brush itself features a side to side action with no less than 5,600 movements per minute, with the potential to remove 100% more plaque than standard brushing. The action is strong enough to make a real difference, but at the same time gentle enough to protect sensitive teeth and gums. The head is comparatively soft and will therefore need replacing on a relatively regular basis, though replacement heads from this particular range are far from expensive.
There is only one power setting which keeps things nice and simple, though incredibly for a toothbrush at this price point, the Braun Oral-B Advance Power Kids Toothbrush Disney Princess features a two-minute timer to help encourage kids to brush for the recommended amount of time.
