Oral-B Braun Electric Toothbrush

The product in the image is an Oral-B electric toothbrush, a brand that represents a long-standing partnership between two iconic entities: Oral-B and Braun. Oral-B was originally founded in the United States in 1950 by Dr. Robert W. Hutson, a periodontist who designed a new type of toothbrush. Braun, a German consumer electronics company founded in 1921, joined forces with Oral-B to integrate advanced motor technology into dental care.

Today, the brand is under the ultimate ownership of Procter & Gamble (P&G), a global consumer goods giant based in the United States. While the design and engineering are deeply rooted in German precision—often manufactured in P&G’s specialized facility in Marktheidenfeld, Germany—the brand operates as a global leader in oral hygiene. The collaboration combines American dental expertise with German engineering excellence to provide high-performance oral care solutions worldwide.
