And if you bring your ADA-approved sonic-technology toothbrush to work and stick it on your desk with its charger you get weird looks. So definitely a great question. (And if anyone has a pointer to a DIY automatic flossing device please share!) | |

Can't really recommend products but I have been using one that has an electromagnetic actuation system and the brush which just has magnets on it is replaceable. Granted this one has started to become flaky as well (awful end cap design) but that's another issue altogether. | |

why don't you get some sonic toothbrush with replaceable heads? I'm using these for several months now and pretty happy. Some of them come with pretty powerful vibration modes when you'd like extra cleaning power.

They don't run out of batteries, overheat, need to be "overclocked", and work perfectly well with a tiny bit of effort. Overclock your elbow and wrist when using one. Maybe you'll even get some exercise. | |

| Apr 22, 2012 at 7:29 | comment | added | jippie | Not sure if I understand correctly. Are you replacing a 1V5 cell with a 3V rechargeable battery? | |
| Apr 22, 2012 at 4:47 | comment | added | Jon L | Why the term "overclocking" in the title? TLDR: How can I limit current going to a DC motor... | |
