I recently got with the times and started using a power toothbrush, the Braun Oral B Triumph 9400. I ordered some replacement flossaction toothbrushes from amazon and things are going great. I have this "can't believe I lived without this all my life" feeling, knowing my teeth get much cleaner than they ever did brushing manually.
Only one issue: this model is supposed to tell me when to change the brush, and it hasn't told me to change the brush even after about 5 months on the same brush. They say 3 months is the normal life, and this brush is starting to look and feel pretty beat up, but the indicator hasn't gone on.
I have a vague idea that the brushheads may be counterfeit, lacking the chips that let them communicate with the head, and I suppose the main reason I'm continuing to use the brush is that I want to be proven wrong, to find evidence that my brushes really are genuine and have the chip.
For others who use the flossaction brushheads with a Triumph head, do you get the change brush indicator? How long does it take? And if you don't get the indicator, does 3 months sound like a good interval to replace the brush?
