Toothbrush

This is madness. Why on earth does anyone need a toothbrush with an on-board computer? The list price of this Oral-B Triumph toothbrush is $140. Amazon has it for around $95.

I've used electric brushes in the past but I haven't for a long time now. Electric toothbrush I understand. Electric toothbrush with on-board computer? Now that's just plain unnecessary.

Manual toothbrushes have come a long way. They aren't just flat bristles in the shape of a rectangle anymore. I like the Active Angle, the Navigator, and the Wave Colgate brushes. I like the Oral-B CrossAction brush a lot too. Sometimes I have trouble finding them at the store because I always need the compact head with soft bristles style. If I don't use the compact head size I find that there isn't enough room to maneuver. I don't know why all the other sizes are so much more common. I'd guess that everyone else besides me must have smaller teeth or bigger mouths. I think I have bigger teeth. I have all of them that are in the diagram below except for a bicuspid from each quadrant. I had the 4 of them pulled when I was 12 and right before I got my braces.
