Braun Oral-B Electric Toothbrush

Oral-B is a globally leading brand in the oral hygiene sector, famously known for its partnership with the German engineering firm Braun for the mechanical components of its electric toothbrushes. The brand was originally established in the United States in the 1950s by Dr. Robert W. Hutson, a periodontist who invented the first soft-bristled toothbrush.

Today, Oral-B is owned by Procter & Gamble (P&G), an American multinational consumer goods corporation. Many of the high-end electric units, specifically the 'Braun' branded handles seen in the image, are manufactured in Germany to maintain high precision engineering standards, although components and other models are produced globally in countries such as Hungary, China, and Mexico.
