Electric toothbrush or manual?

I use an electric tooth brush, an Oral-B iO 6. It cleans my teeth and massages my gums more effectively than I could manage with a manual toothbrush. There is a pressure warning sensor that alerts you if you press too hard and it has different brush heads for different needs including one for sensitive teeth and gums. I use a standard brush. I got mine online but I told my dentist about it and she seemed to approve although she didn’t explicitly recommend the brand because they sell another brand. I have used Oral-B electric toothbrushes probably since they first were produced decades ago and my teeth and gums are healthy. I haven’t needed my teeth scaled and polished for years. Over brushing harshly with a manual toothbrush can cause gum recession just as it can with an electric brush. Dentists now recommend that people brush only twice per day for two minutes in order to avoid undue wear. My toothbrush can be connected to an app which guides people through the correct brushing technique but I don’t use that as it’s just a nuisance. I got this type of brush only because it helps keep my teeth and gums healthy and it has saved me from having to pay for expensive private dental work.

I can't remember what it felt like the first time I used an electric brush because it was so long go. When I upgraded to my current model, it did feel very strange because it was quieter and the feel was different, but now I don't think about it and it feels fine.
