Electric toothbrushes are more complicated than manual ones. Unlike manual toothbrushes, electric brushes have a small motor that makes the bristles vibrate or rotate, helping you remove plaque buildup on your teeth and gums. While they have not been around nearly as long, they have established themselves as an effective oral hygiene tool.
The evolutionary history of our teeth explains not only why they are so strong but also why they fall short today. The basic idea is that structures evolve to operate within a specific range of environmental conditions, which, in the case of our teeth, include the chemicals and bacteria in the mouth, as well as strain and abrasion.
