I have see many studies done in professional journals and every one that I saw found that the electric toothbrush did a better job of removing plaque than did manual brushing. Our office recommends Sonic Care. They are a bit more pricey but I feel are worth it.
I realize that after some months using Commission Blueprint 2 that it was and still is the best IM product I have ever purchased without any doubts.
To this day the guys who created it are still sharing new tools with us purchasers that is shooting our sites into the top ten of Google with somewhat of great ease. If you want to read more about my use of this tool, visit Commission Blueprint 2 Review here.

For sure. Once you go electric you never go back.

Good ones are. Oral B makes a pretty decent one for around $20. I just went to the dentist for a cleaning and my hygienist kept raving about how clean my teeth were.

yes, when used properly. You can combine it with a water pik machine and get the same results as you would get from a dentist. I love mine and have been using both of them for 5 yrs.

The answer is "sort of." Technically, you can get your teeth just as clean with a manual brush. The problem is that it takes much longer and it is harder to get it right. Cleaning behind the teeth, for example, is much, much easier with an electric toothbrush. And, to do a good job, you need to brush 2-3 minutes. Hardly anyone has the patience to do that with a manual.
So, the best way of putting it is to say that electric toothbrushes are more effective, given the way that the ordinary person brushes his teeth. If you are willing to be relentless, you can clean effectively with a manual brush, but most people find electrics worth the money. BTW, one compromise between the very expensive ($100+) Oral-B and Sonic Care is a battery operated brush like the SpinBrush (formerly Pepsodent, now an Arm and Hammer brand). You can get these for less than $20, although of course you need to replace the AA batteries every couple of months. They are not quite as good as the really expensive brushes, but they do an excellent job for much less.
