Ultreo Ultrasound Toothbrush Giveaway

by // // 202 Comments

Nap Warden, who commented, “Wow…that is quite a toothbrush! I use the Oral B electric,” is the winner of the Ultreo giveaway!” Thanks to everyone who entered.

Last year wasn’t a banner dental care year for me, so I was intrigued when approached with the chance to review the new Ultreo ultrasound toothbrush, which takes dental care to a whole new level.

Ultreo is the first major innovative development in toothbrushes in more than a decade. It is the only power toothbrush to combine ultrasound waveguide technology with precisely tuned sonic bristle action. Developed at the University of Washington, it’s basically the bad ass of toothbrushes.

Ultreo features:

  • an auto shut off timer
  • a brushing interval signal that beeps every 3 seconds to help you clean each area of your mouth equally
  • a compact charger base and wall plug
  • a battery charge status indicator that tells the level of battery power (when fully charged you can use Ultreo for up to 28 brushings without additional charging)
  • the ability to remove up to 95% of plaque from hard-to-reach places in one minute. It is also clinically proven to be safe and gentle for everyday use on gums, natural tooth surfaces, and dental work

Ultreo retails for $169.99 and can be purchased from participating dental offices, Ultreo’s website, and online retailers such as Drugstore.com, Amazon.com, and The Sharper Image. Additional brush heads can be purchased so that more than one person can share the toothbrush base.

This is not a product I would normally go out and buy for myself, but the Ultreo is definitely an investment in dental care. My teeth felt considerably cleaner after brushing with the Ultreo, and I’d compare it to that “just professionally cleaned” type feeling you get after an appointment with your dental hygenist.

If you’d like to own the equivalent of the Rolls Royce of toothbrushes, here’s your chance. Just leave a comment telling me what brand of toothbrush you use. I’ll select a random winner from all eligible comments (U.S. and Canadian residents only) now through midnight Sunday, July 20. For two chances, just blog about this giveaway and hook me up with a link.

    right now, using CVS store brand toothbrushes for the whole family (they were on clearance) but in the past have used Oral-B & Colgate. Basically I buy/use whatever happens to be on sale at the time I need them.

    Hubby and I are both currently using battery-powered Oral B toothbrushes. Even though they were only $5 and certainly not as high-tech as the one you’re offering up, my teeth do feel cleaning with the vibration.

    I would chunk my REACH toothbrush for this baby in a heartbeat! Years of taking medication have taken a toll on my dental care, causing sensitive teeth and gums. It would be great to see if this Ultreo Ultasound Toothbrush would work for me 🙂

    I’ve blogged about your contest and provided a link. Please hook me up with an extra entry. Thanks!

    The kids use a tooth brush that plays there favorite song. Bought them at Wal-Mart have no idea the brand. I am currently using a reach tooth brush however I use what ever I can find in a firm tooth brush. The soft (which are available most) and medium just don’t clean my teeth good enough for me. I have tried many brands but unless it was firm my teeth just looked dingy after a few weeks and don’t feel as clean as with a firm tooth brush. This looks like a real high tech tooth brush that should do the trick. Thank you for the opportunity to enter to win such a nice tooth brush.

    Yes, I use a standard ole manual toothbrush colegate. I really like those 360 degree ones. But, a fancy one would sure be cool to use. I’ve always thought they just cost way too much.

    Reply
  44. Molly says:

    This toothbrush looks amazing and I’ve never been all that impressed by the others (Sonicare, et al). But the timing part put me over the edge.

    I’m currently using Crest toothbrushes (soft, of course). It works, I suppose, but I drink a lot of coffee so I should upgrade. Plus, I have a poor dental plan so it might be nice to have this extra care.

    Thanks for the chance to win! You rock.

    I’ve been using my Soniccare for about a year now, and I love it to bits. This one is amazing though! Even if it cleans the same as my brush, the timers make it worth the extra money. I HAVE to get one of these. Think the manufacturers will give me one to review on my review blog as well? *GRIN*

    My family uses whatever we can get on sale for the most part, but our preferred ones are the baby toothbrushes that come in extra-soft, as I have sensitive teeth, and the kids tend to brush too hard.

    I already blogged today, so I’m going to blog your contest tomorrow. 🙂

    Never used a power toothbrush before, but my dentist is highly recommending it. After getting admonished for all the plaque in my mouth and the receding gums, i am thinking it might be time to get proactive. i know people getting gum transplants to keep their teeth covered and any fewer trips to the dental chair are greatly prefered. My entire body goes rigid from the moment i get seated until i get the all done declaration.

    Looking over the numerous models out there, and i can’t keep track at all. No two stores carry the same models, so the only way to price compare is on-line. The only feature i noticed that i could grasp onto was found in a review of the Ultreo. It was mentioned that it could be programmed for two users. None of the others advertised that valuable point. I am not about to buy two power brushes for my wife (even if she is a redhead) and i if the brush heads can be easily interchangeable, which they should be. So, the ultreo is looking promising, although i have not yet been able to locate a website for the Ultrea company.

    Frontgate just got a large supply of the Ultreo tooth brushes and brush heads. They are charging $29.50 each for the tooth brush w/ brush head and you can purchase up to 4 additional brush heads at $22.50 each, plus 10% shipping. I am passing this along, so that those on ebay charging $50, $60, and up to $70 per brush head lose out. If you don’t want to lose your original $170 investment, go now to frontgate. I bought 8 tooth brushes and 4 additional brush heads for a total of 12 which should last about 3+ years. The only issue when those 12 brush heads are gone, then I will need to replace the tooth brush, but that’s 3+ years down the road. Good Luck!!!
