Oral-B Toothbrush

Oral-B is a globally recognized brand specializing in oral hygiene products, including manual and electric toothbrushes, toothpastes, and dental floss. The brand was founded in 1950 by Dr. Robert W. Hutson in the United States, who designed and patented a new type of toothbrush with soft, end-rounded nylon bristles.

Today, Oral-B is a leading name in the dental care industry, with a strong emphasis on professional-grade technology. While many of its premium electric toothbrushes and precision components are manufactured in Germany, the brand utilizes a global supply chain with production facilities located in various regions to serve international markets.

The brand has seen several shifts in ownership over the decades. It was acquired by the Gillette Company in 1984, which subsequently merged with Procter & Gamble (P&G) in 2005. As of 2026, Oral-B remains a flagship brand within the Procter & Gamble portfolio, benefiting from the conglomerate's extensive research, development, and distribution networks worldwide.
