With the Sonic Complete toothbrush, you can choose from multiple brushing modes for a customized clean. Using sonic technology, you can effectively remove plaque, gently stimulate your gums and naturally whiten your teeth.
Oral B has the clinical proof to back up their claims about the power of the Sonic Complete system. According to clinical studies, use the toothbrush twice daily to:
- Help improve the health of your teeth and gums
- Effectively remove plaque without irritating gums
- Reverse gingivitis for firmer, healthier gums
- Whiten your teeth 25 percent better than Sonicare Elite by removing more coffee, tea, and tobacco stains
The Sonic Complete S-340 system has a number of great features that make it a powerful solution for oral health. First, multiple brushing modes-- clean, soft and massage-- offer you a customized clean that targets the needs of your entire mouth. Next, two types of bristles help provide maximum cleaning power. The "CrissCross" bristles are angled to reach deep and clean between teeth, while "Power Tip" bristles are longer to reach more difficult spots. There's also a professional timer that indicates when the recommended two-minute brushing time has been reached. The timer signals every 30 seconds, encouraging a complete cleaning of the four quadrants of your mouth. The Sonic Complete toothbrush also features great battery life from its internal rechargeable battery-- up to two weeks under normal, twice-daily use. Lastly, the toothbrush is compatible with Sonic Complete brushhead refills.
The Sonic Complete S-340 comes with the following items:
- Oral B Hummingbird power flosser

Nice toothbrush, poor battery life 
2008-03-27
I don't have any complaints about the performance of this toothbrush. I was happy with it until the rechargeable battery gave out 2 years and 4 months after buying it. Seems it should last longer for almost one hundred dollars. I called oral-b. They basically said to buy a new one. You cannot replace the battery. They did not come across very friendly when I spoke with them.
Finally a TRUE difference maker toothbrush

I saw the advertisement and I decided to check this out. Didn't realize how quite expensive it was, but I decided to take a chance and boy am I am glad. Totally worth the purchase price. My teeth feels cleaner, look brighter and my mouth seems fresher. I even smile more after the use of this product and I am one to never smile. It feels as if you are getting a professional cleaning everytime you use it. Not only does this thing brushes your teeth, it polishes them also. I am actually going to purchase another one so I can have one at home and one at work. Also, for famillies, all you have to do is buy more heads because everyone can use this. And this thing is totally pain free, in fact it tickles your mouth, but you will most certainly look forward to brushing. The three speeds are very nice, plus if you follow the directions and brush in quarters, it has a bit of a hesitation to let you know when to move onto the next quarter. I find this very useful if you never had proper instructions on brushing. This is, in my opinion a life changing and habit changing product.
decent power toothbrush but what's all the hype? 
2005-12-05
I got the Oral-B Sonic Complete at my dentist from some kind of mail-in free trial promotion (get a charged handle and brushhead that will last 2 weeks for free) so I gave it a try.
It does make brushing easier but I haven't really noticed a difference in how my mouth feels afterwards--if anything it doesn't feel as clean but that might be just how I am used to manual brushing. Who knows? It's not truly sonic--it's really just a faster (though it has 3 speeds so not really) power toothbrush. TRUE sonic speeds wouldn't even shake/vibrate the bristles!
If you can get one of these free from your dentist, you can just go to [...] and order a charger for $12. ;) You can even order the handles ($46), brushheads ($9 each but cheaper on eBay), and even a travel case there, too. (Why does this thing cost ~$100 in stores??)
Now if I can only find a manual for it...if you have one (or if you wouldn't mind scanning it and, perhaps, creating a PDF file for it--or just the scanned images would suffice if not), please email me at [...]). Thanks!
its ok

I had a cheep Oral B before - this one is a bit nicer but I'd say not worth the $$$
Totally awesome, not perfect, but nothing better out there! 2005-05-22
This toothbrush is amazing. Initially, I thought it was going to scrub my teeth out of my mouth, making me feel uncomfortable using it. After a few day's worth of continous brushing, my teeth adjusted to the device.
Let me just say that this brush is highly recommended. My girlfriend uses the Sonicare toothbrush, and side-by-side comparison, my Oral B Sonic toothbrush looks much nicer. hee hee.
Performance? The Oral B Sonic I have uses three speeds. It's about the same compared to the two speed Sonicare. Both have 30 second interval timers. The noise produced by both toothbrushes are comparable as well, although, I believe my toothbrush might be a little quieter.
We have tried out both and I have to say that I feel more comfortable with the Oral B Sonic, because Sonicare has that extra piece of plastic surrounding the brush.
Prior to using Sonic Complete, I was using Oral B's rechargeable 900 series. Sonic Complete blows it out of the water in performance. I still keep my 900 series, because Sonic Complete has one flaw... the main reason why I am not giving it a 5 star rating. Sonic Complete will shutdown automatically at full speed if the battery power is drained. Unlike my 900 series, the battery power as it drains will not weaken the toothbrush, giving you some kind of notification that it needs to be recharged. So I keep my 900 series just in case I need to recharge my Sonic Complete.
The battery power lasted at least 2 weeks from full charge. I brush my teeth at least twice a day and sometimes 3 times, depending on my mood.
Sonic Complete came with a charger, toothbrush holder, I believe two brush heads, traveling case, and a whoop-arse on plaque.

Amazing clean feeling right out of the box! 2005-03-13
I'll be the first to admit that I really don't like going to the dentist all that much, so any upper hand I can get in the oral hygiene arena I'll be sure to take. After years of all the different types of cross action / criss cross / gum massaging varities out there I decided to take the plunge and go electric. I'd rather test the waters before plunging head on into pool though, so I started with a Crest Spinbrush Pro, probably the most ho-hum electric brush on the market. After getting comfortable and then quickly tired with it, in addition to reading some articles about how it can actually be worse than a regular toothbrush if not used properly, I decided my feet were wet enough so I jumped in an bought the Oral B Sonic Complete toothbrush.
I really could not be happier with my purchase, not only does the thing work right out of the box, they've included three seperate brusheads (9 months worth!), a travel case, the rechargeable base station with built-in storage, Rembrandt Whitening toothpaste, and the Oral-B Hummingbird flosser to try out as well!
On to the cleaning though, right? That is the most important part after all. Well I must admit that the first time you set it to "Clean", the strongest of the 3 settings, it's a bit of shock to your teeth. Your whole mouth is literally humming as the brush does it's work. The medium setting, "Soft", is probably the best choice for those who need to get used to the toothbrush and is also recommended for using on your tongue. There's a "Massage" setting to use on your gums as well. You're warned in the instructions that the brush may cause your gums to bleed the first couple times you use it, but as the Crest electric brush always seemed to have a habit of making my gums bleed I was pretty pleasantly surprised when this one didn't make them bleed much at all. After my first brushing my mouth did feel more vibrant although that could've been because my teeth were still vibrating from the sonic pulses. Seriously though I did enjoy the feeling and it was much more refreshing a feeling of clean than I've experienced with other toothbrushes that I've used.
Apparently Oral-B has taken notice to some of the user's complaints as well as the toothbrush now comes in an easy to open cardboard box. I had the whole thing unpacked and setup in under 5 minutes easily. I will probably end up leaving the brush on the charging station, although as one other reviewer pointed out, NiCad batteries like the one used in the toothbrush can lose capacity over time if exposed to a constant charge. But I'm guessing that the difference should be pretty neglible over the life of the device and I would assume that a replacement battery for the unit itself could be purchased if necessary.
Oral-B also recommends removing the brush head from the device, running the brush head under water while wiping dry the device itself. Although this seems a little tedious and it's hard to imagine everyone doing this, I made it a habit fresh out of the box and store the brush head that I'm using in one of the three compartments in the charger/storage unit.
All in all it's an extremely pleasant brushing experience, you get a feeling of a wonderfully clean mouth, and to tell you the truth I almost feel like brushing my teeth four or five times a day just to get to play with my toothbrush. Also, if you can purchase it in time to get the rebate like I did, it drops the price down to a very respectable $80 for the starting kit. A 5* purchase from Amazon without a doubt!
love this power brush 2005-02-03
I have been using this toothbrush about a week and already I am seeing changes with my teeth. very satisfied, it's a shame i hadn't got it earlier! totally NO REGRETS on this item!!!!

I love it! It really makes your mouth feel clean. Once you get used to the electronic vibration, you will really notice a difference. This brush is a must have for good oral health.

I can only say that when my dentist's office recommended this toothbrush it was highly praised. My Sonicare was growing old and I hated cleaning it (Ugg!!). The Sonic Complete is a dream to clean, easily taken apart for cleaning with every use. And what a difference in the cleaning mode! For a thorough, well-written evaluation, I would refer you to the Simeon Hein review. No need to repeat it all again. Don't forget to recycle the batteries when the brush finally dies. . .instructions are provided in the manual.
