These are knock-offs - The brush that came with the Braun device looks different from these. The headspin part gets loose after a week s use. One even gripped my tounge, causing pain for a whole week. Avoid these at all cost. Don t tell me I didn t warn you. They re dirt cheap for a reason.
Initial OralB purchase - The first two replacement heads exploded at the back of the plastic head and a little metal pin dislodged in my mouth while I was brushing. Yesterday (12/15/08,) I spoke to a rep. at Amazon.com and they were going to contact the manufacturer and get a replacement pack shipped to me. They said they have not experienced this problem before. As long as the second shipment is fine, I m okay with this purchase. I do appreciate the personal phone call from the Amazon.com tech.Rick Brandt
I doubt if it is real Oral-B - I ve been using this brush for quite a while but had always bought the head in supermarket. But 3 month ago I couldn t find it in any supermarket then I bought this one. Shipped pretty fast, looked good. But then, having used it for about 2 month, the tip became very loose and I have to be very careful as I brush my teeth, for it could pinch my tongue or mouth!! I even bled for a few time. Yesterday I got to remember that before the blue color on the bristle would lose gradually, indicating when you need a new one. But after about 3 months, the color on this one was not lost at all (my husband is using it too, so neither was his). I seriously doubt whether it is real oral B. Be careful!
Fell apart at 2 months of use - The head on the replacement brush became loose and wobbly after exactly 2 months of use on the first head that I ve just replaced again. These appear to be made with lesser quality than other replacements I ve used.
Replacement Brush Heads - The item arrived on time. Works great as it is an original replacement head for my toothbrush that my girlfriend CK bought me.
