No bristles needed - Ultrasonic Megasonex M8S Toothbrush
Vložit
- čas přidán 18. 08. 2024
- It might look the same as any other electric toothbrush, but the M8S is an ultrasonic toothbrush that works a bit differently.
Theoretically, you don't even need bristles on the brush for it to work. But..we don't advise using it this way.
Watch to learn how it differs and why you might want to consider it.

I have been using the Megasonex toothbrush for the last four years. When I go for my routine cleaning every six months at the dentist, they hardly need to do anything. My dental hygienist always comments whatever you’re doing keep doing it. I highly recommend this toothbrush. I purchased it directly from Megasonex in Hong Kong as it is not available where I live. It is a quality build product and definitely worth the investment. Philips sonicare will run you close to $200. For an extra 80 or so dollars including free shipping, it is well worth the money. I currently use the older model the M8. I purchased one about a year ago which is the new model the M8S for my wife. When time comes to replace mine I will definitely be upgrading to the M8S.
This is great to read. Thanks for sharing your feedback.
I believe recent research has shown the ultrasonics can go down to 12mm below the gumline. This is very nice for those of us with moderate gum issues. As a Dentist, I'm surprised that you're rather pooh-poohing the fact that the ultrasonics even with minimal vibration as less preferable to the standard abrasive and fast vibrations of the sonics....
Just watched another UK dentist clean her teeth after chewing a plaque revealing tablet and it was clear that there was still plenty of plaque left over.
I'm willing to pay a little more to give my teeth and gums that little extra help, as even with insurance regular dental visits aren't exactly cheap.
Question: "UK dentist clean her teeth ..." - with what ?
I think it is surprising that only frequency is debated (here and elsewhere) but not intensity (i.e. power of the waves emitted or the power of the waves hitting the teeth). A high frequency at low intensity certainly won't achieve much. Very high frequency and intensity might do damage, I suppose, though I ignore whether damaging high frequency and intensity would be technically possible to achieve (?). Some claim that ultrasound is too much treatment for teeth with tooth fillings - is that a justified concern? I would also expect that ultrasound - given the way it physically deploys its energy at the target surface - is only very effective in water, not in air, which, if true, would imply that the best way to use this device would be without bristles but with the mouth filled with water during operation (again: ?). Finally, is the M8S a sonic toothbrush as well as an ultrasonic toothbrush? Answers are much appreciated and partial answers better than none. Thanks in advance. I very much appreciate your video, anyway.
Thanks for the comment.
I can't comment on the frequency and intensity of the waves. This is outside our area of knowledge and getting deeper into the clinical side of things that we tend to focus on a little less. The clinical effectiveness is super important but we leave the research of this to others.
I've seen no warnings that the ultrasound is too much for fillings etc. One would think if this was an issue it would be well documented and clearly labelled on to product. It would then make it useless for many people.
Yes, the M8S has ultrasonic movements as well as sonic. You can't use sonic only with no ultrasonic waves.
Kind of an asinine comment really.
These things have been studied by the relevent FDA for frequency and power output in quite a lot of detail. These Ultras work on cavitation, and its both useless and possibly more damaging to put output more power than is strictly necessary and whats been studied.
The the Mega in the UK, and the Emmi Dent in the US that are true ultrasonics, and both are about equal in Hz and dB output, for a reason.
Megasonex company in they website calls this brush " Ultrasound Toothbrush MEGASONEX M8".
Also they emphasize this name more clearly" ...The ultrasound technology used in the MEGASONEX® toothbrush".
ULTRASOUND, not "Ultrasonic" like we see on your site header. I believe there is a big difference between the two names.
Please explain - is there a difference or not, and if there is difference, than - what is it. Thanks!
As far as I am aware they are the same thing. It's all based on the number of soundwaves. More explanation here - www.electricteeth.com/sonic-vs-ultrasonic-electric-toothbrush-comparison-infographic/
Hi, great review. I currently use a manual toothbrush but my gums have been receding and plaque is hard to remove. I am interested in this brush, is there a cheaper alternative that you are aware of? Or can you recommend a good sonic toothbrush if theres no cheap alternative and let me know if thats a good option? I found one called Ordo Sonic Lite is that good?
It looks like you have already found some of our other videos, but this one is a great place to start to get the info you need: czcams.com/video/I9KcJA4DXac/video.html
What about the soladey toothbrush, I saw it on the wikipedia page for toothbrushes but seems there isn't much information about it despite them still being in business
This is a new one on me. A quick search reveals it is an 'ionic' toothbrush which we have yet to test.
does this type of cleaning (due to the depth is works at) do away with the need for interdental cleaning though? If it does, then it might be worth the price as you wouldn't have to buy a seperate waterpick or brushes or floss. You'd save time as well. Is there any reserch on this?
Not aware of any research on this that would confirm this. Theoretically I would say yes, but....there is some confidence that comes from the mechanical cleaning action of interdental brushes/floss.
Are you not being a little hard on the product saying "no not buy this ultrasonic toothbrush"? Perhaps you may wish to rephrase your recommendation. There are dozens of peer reviewed studies done in accredited labs around the world mostly in the 1990s, proving the effectiveness of this technology. You may wish to contact the manufacturer to get copies of them. They main benefit of the brush is its ability to achieve the same level of cleanliness as the big boys do but in a much more gentle fashion, especially after surgery. The stroke or amplitude of the brush head is a fraction of what others do (about 1mm in each direction compared to 2.5mm), making the sonic movement very gentle. Many implantologist recommend this product to their patients in order to minimize the chances of perioimplantitis after the placement of implants. Thank you for your consideration
I quite agree that there are many studies that prove the effectiveness. There is certainly a number of people who could benefit from such a toothbrush. We always advise taking your dental professionals advice.
For the vast majority this is quite an expensive option and unless your specific circumstances dictate this would be a benefit for most a regular electric (non ultrasonic) is a better fit.
Agree with you Alex, this seems to be a dump on the product simply because of its cost. Seems to have totally missed the fact that this has a fair amount of interest and results for people with even moderately bad gums, gingivitis, pockets, etc as the RF can reach 10-12mm below the gumline. Totally calls into question his actual research and purported expertise by omitting it.
i udnno about this...i have doubts. maybe it's just psychological but when there's bristles, it feels like it's doing its job to dislodge plaque on the surface and inbetween teeth
And a lot of people had their doubts about those new horseless carriages... Science.
Im confused a little. Do only ultrasonic brushes render plaque useless due to the sonic waves or do regular sonic brushes also do the same thing just a bit less?
They essentially do the same thing, just differently. The sonic brushes rely on the bristle movements whereas the ultrasonic relies on the waves that they emit.
Sonics work by abrasively removing plaque. US work by causing cavitation bubbles to expand and explode, dissolving the bacteria and their biofilms.
how can you say the results are negligible when deep [penetration by untrasonic waves into the gums must be doing more than not?
unless there is no deeper penetration, this is always a btter thing as this is where inflammation hides.
As a USian, even I know 10-12mm is close to a 1/2 inch, which is right where a lot of us middle-aged/older folks have some slight/moderate 'pockets' forming. Getting down there to disrupt biofilms into bits makes it easier for the gums to expel it, as some research has shown. I guess gum health, recession, gingavitis is not worth the extra $100-125 over the average $50 sonic TB. I mean maybe the UK has excellent and free, easily accessible dental care with no out of pocket like most of the rest of the world...
I virtually like this Megasonex brush, but I am confused with the following test czcams.com/video/ikn0AWUzi6U/video.html What can you tell about that, John?
I am afraid I don't know enough about this test to comment. It seems concerning that there is such variance.
@@ElectricTeeth Thank you for your reply. This seems concerning to me as well. Since the effect of the ultrasound action is undetectable by human perception, hardware measuring seems the only objective way to assess the effect. And this particular test is very confusing. Giving it some thinking, the Megasonex says that their ultrasound inducer chip is the large one, but at the same time it does not push the bristles themselves, but is hidden behind the plastic core far from bristles. While Emmi Dent's replacible heads have their bristles sitting on top of the inducer board. I am just wondering if it was possible for Megasonex to sell their brushes just stating about ultrasound without real effect or this is fake or incorrect test in the video. Ideally would be to get comments from both manufactures and also to see another independent test.
It is of course possible for companies to sell products saying they do one thing when they don't actually. It is unfortunately more common (across different products) than it should be. I would be very surprised if Megasonex were, but I can't say for sure. I certainly agree an impartial test or comment from each manufacturer would be good.
@@Esone1 It seems to me that the person conducting the test only presses the button on megasonex once, therefore not initialising the ultrasound (because you need three consecutive presses of the button, and one or two presses give varying sonic outputs). Considering the video is uploaded from a rivaling brand Emmi-dent, I'd say it's a false test to undermine their competitor.
