Oral-B is a global leader in oral hygiene, recognized for its pioneering work in toothbrush design. The brand trace its origins back to 1950 when a California periodontist, Dr. Robert W. Huston, designed and patented a new style of toothbrush that eventually became the foundation for the brand. Over the decades, Oral-B revolutionized dental care by introducing electric and rechargeable toothbrushes that are now standard in households worldwide.

The manufacturing of Oral-B products is largely concentrated in Germany, particularly for its high-end electric handles and precision brush heads, which are often produced in its facilities in Marktheidenfeld and Kronberg. However, certain components and consumer lines are also manufactured in China and Hungary to support its massive global distribution network. Since 2005, the brand has been under the stewardship of Procter & Gamble, integrating it into one of the world's most powerful consumer goods portfolios.

Today, Oral-B continues to lead with smart technology, including AI-powered brushing sensors and Bluetooth connectivity. As a subsidiary of P&G, the brand benefits from extensive research and development resources, ensuring its position as the top recommended toothbrush brand by dentists worldwide.
