Product Description
Package of 2 replacement heads for Sonicare Advance Series Toothbrush
Amazon.com Review
For optimum cleaning performance, electric toothbrush heads should be replaced every six months. This set of two standard-size replacement brush heads fits all original Sonicare and Advance series handles. Color-coded for individual users, each brush head features eight rows of extra-soft, rounded bristles for gentle yet thorough cleaning. The standard size was formerly known as compact. --Ann Bieri

 Wouldn't Go Back July 6, 2004
17 out of 17 found this review helpful
Several years back, my dentist and also my periodontal specialist both recommended I consider using an electric toothbrush to help clean my teeth. It also helps fight for my gums against periodontal disease. I wasn't so sure about investing $100 more, especially in a toothbrush. My wife finally bought me one and I have never looked back. My teeth look better. I have less plaque, less bleeding gums, less problems, less cavities. I don't think $10 every six months for new heads is too much to invest in keeping my natural teeth as long as I can.

I have been brushing with a sonicare for 18 months. My dentist recommended it to me, especially because I was getting braces. I can't believe how clean my teeth look and feel. I never have bleeding gums any more. My orthodontist and dentist have both commented on the suprub shape of my gums. I couldn't be more happy! Defenitely worth the money!!!

These replacement brushes do exactly what they're supposed to: they're good quailty, they last a good amount of time and they're effective.
Some people recommend the compact brushes for reaching all the way to the back of the mouth, but frankly I have no problem with this one. Hey - no - that doesn't mean I've got a big mouth - stop that!
Seriously though, brushing teeth doesn't get easier than this.
Happy shopping

Pleased with Sonicare November 25, 2003

In the past year and a half, Sonicare has ended my problems with plaque buildup. This product delivers performance as advertized. My dentist has also noticed the difference. I have previously used electric toothbrushes, with what I thought were satisfactory results. Sonicare is just better. The instructions are clear and it's true that an entire cleaning should take no more than a minute or so (in sections). There's no need to overdo it.
E-Series Now Compatible With Sonicare Advance June 6, 2009
Avid Reviewer (San Jose, CA)

Haven't you heard? The Philips Sonicare E-Series Brush Heads are now compatible with Sonicare Advance.
I used the Sonicare Advance Toothbrush and the A-Series brush head replacement for over 10 years before I switched over to the Sonicare Elite, which uses the E-Series brush head.
I recently got a brush head replacement for my Sonicare Elite and noticed that it is stated right on the package of the E-Series brush head replacements - in black and white - that the E-Series brush head replacements are now compatible with Sonicare Advance.
Intrigued, I tried popping the E-Series brush head into my Sonicare Advance - it's true! The E-Series brush head was a perfect fit for the Sonicare Advance.
SWEET!
E-Series vs. A-Series
---------------------
Right about now, you're probably thinking - yeah, yeah, so what's the big deal?
The E-Series brush head has a few improvements over the A-Series brush head:
- Smaller Brush Head - Better Reach
The E-Series has the same amount of bristles but the size of the brush head has been reduced. The smaller brush head provides a better reach on the back teeth
- Thinner Shaft
The shaft of the E-Series is also much thinner and slightly flexible. The thinner shaft not only makes it easier to reach the back teeth, it is less invasive and much more friendly to your mouth so it is less likely to trigger gagging.
- Wide Angle of Brush Movement - Better Cleaning
The angle of sweep of the brush strokes is wider on the E-Series than it is on the A-Series. Each brush stroke on the E-Series thus covers and cleans more teeth area.
- Improved Design - Less Gunk Buildup
The improved design of the E-Series helps to reduce the problem of backflow from brush head running down the shaft and seeping into the recessed part of the brush handle that connects to the brush head.
Conclusion
----------
The A-Series brush head does a phenomenal job of cleaning your teeth and gum line. However, it has some problems such as a relatively big and clumsy brush head and shaft. The E-Series brush heads has several improvements over the A-Series brush heads - the most important of which is the improved cleaning ability of the E-Series. Now that the E-Series brush heads are compatible with the Sonicare Advance, I see no reason why anyone should continue using the A-Series brush heads! As a long-time user of both the A-Series and the E-Series brush heads, I strongly recommend the E-Series brush heads instead.
