I have several dental implants. I can not use anything that send electrical shocks into my face.. What do you recommend ?

I, too, have implants. I have had no problem. I mostly use the sonic mode which does not send shocks.. The LED modes do not send shocks. You might want to check with a doctor or the manufacturer about the ion and photon modes. The sonic mode alone makes the product worthy, in my opinion.

The technology of this device is not electric current. It is LED light and ultrasound waves. They are perfectly safe to use with dental implants.

This device does NOT use electrocurrent. This device has several other therapeutic choices: Sonic, ionic, & LED LIGHT therapy. You need to use a conductive gel on your skin when you use the device. I highly recommend this device!

The wife says she can't even feel it. It isn't electric shocks, it is ultrasound. Sound waves. Don't think it will cause any issues.

I don't recommend these as they are too thick and have completely changed my bite.My dentist now has to do extensive work in order to get my teeth to meet properly again.Its worth getting a custom one from your dentist.

I can't speak about TMJ but I have sensitive teeth and I don't have a problem. I would suggest you might try Sensodyne toothpaste which I have found helpful. I love my electric toothbrush and think you will too.

This should not harm the retainers with wires, as it hasn't harmed my hard plastic retainers. I'm not sure of the vibrations per second, but remember this unit runs on batteries, so I doubt it's high.

I have to say that for me this has been the best mouth piece I've used. I've done a lot of sparring and this mouth piece stayed in place...I could breathe, never lost a tooth and I think it really did absorb some of the impact. Title Boxing discontinued selling this and I bought something else off their site. I used the other mouth piece and sparred and I got my jaw tweaked...lasted for about a week. I never had that problem with the Shock Doctor. So I found them here on amazon and ordered two of the red ones. I think the price is high and should come down, don't get me wrong.

Hi!, You could send this question to the manufacturer. However, I would not recommend the use for anyone who has braces or any metallic parts inside/outside their upper body especially on the face or close to the face.

Absolutely! I place mine face down in opposite directions. Also, I use the SonicBrite cleaner along with a Polident 3 minute pellet, turn it on at night, then again in the morning for a few minutes just to shake it up a little. Maybe this is overkill, but it melts off all the adhesive on my dentures and no more white residue that I used to see on them. The first set of batteries lasted 2 months. Best 40 bucks I spent in a very long time!

It is the mildest electric toothbrush that I have personally used. Maybe you could ask your dental hygienist for their recommendations too.

I use an Oral B electric toothbrush with a polishing head. The problem here is that this polish hard and unusable when received it.

For sensitive teeth(and maybe gums too?), try Sensodyne toothpaste. I really couldn't tell you which is the best Sonicare toothbrush though.

There are three different levels of shock, the first level on seven I can barely feel. I think it would be fine to use, not sure if the collar is small enough, might have to punch holes in it.

I am a dentist, not an electrician, but I would put my money on either a dead battery or an internal defect. If it is brand new, send it back and get a replacement, if it is old(3-6 yrs) try a new battery

I just called their 1-800 number and they stated, nope. I really want to be sarcastic now... I love the Oral-B, but they really ruined it by going single voltage. Insert>>>> SHAKING FIST IN AIR!!!!

Yes, but you should always have a surge suppressor on your electronic device. I use a combo battery/surge suppressor on mine but they are a little pricey $100 - $200. You really don't need anything that big as long as you have a good surge suppressor you will be fine.

I have a battery pack Century2100 tens unit that I attach the electrodes to. I bought it from my chiropractor.

They plug into TENS unit wires..(Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) This brand though is not good at all. I would not recommend them The sticky is gone instantly and they don't have a very good pulse to them.
