    Also because electric brushes don’t brush for you. You still use them the same way as a regular toothbrush, they just clean better.

      Wait… Are you people doing a “brushing” action back and forth with your electric toothbrushes?

      I just move it across each surface once in a slow kinda up and down zig zag — the way you would use an electric buffer or power washer to clean a long narrow surface with multiple sides… Upper set of teeth first; front, left side of mouth to right side of mouth. Repeat for top and back surfaces of teeth. Then repeat it all again for lower set of teeth.

      I guess the front of teeth could be combined into one surface, but I’m a raging psychopath.

        This is the proper technique. It doesn’t cause as much erosion of gums and enamel.
