Oral-B is a global leader in the oral hygiene market, renowned for its extensive range of manual and electric toothbrushes, dental floss, and mouthwashes. The brand's history began in 1950 when Dr. Robert W. Huston, a California periodontist, designed and patented a toothbrush with soft, end-rounded nylon bristles, which was significantly gentler on gums than previous designs. This innovation laid the foundation for the brand's reputation for professional-grade dental care.

Today, Oral-B is manufactured in several strategic locations worldwide to meet global demand, with major production facilities in Germany (notably for its electric toothbrush handles and brush heads), the United States, Mexico, and China. In 2005, Oral-B became part of the Procter & Gamble family following P&G's acquisition of Gillette. Under Procter & Gamble's ownership, Oral-B continues to be at the forefront of dental technology, frequently collaborating with dental professionals to develop smart-connected toothbrushes and advanced filament technologies.
