Oral-B is a globally recognized leader in oral hygiene, specifically known for its innovative toothbrushes. The brand was originally founded in the United States in 1950 by dentist Robert W. Hutson, who patented a revolutionary toothbrush design featuring numerous fine, soft, flat-ended nylon bristles. The brand's focus on professional-grade dental care led to its widespread adoption by dental professionals worldwide.
Today, Oral-B is a flagship brand of Procter & Gamble (P&G), which acquired it through its massive merger with Gillette in 2005. P&G, headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, manages the brand's extensive portfolio, which includes manual and electric toothbrushes, dental floss, and mouthwashes. While the brand originated in the US, manufacturing is distributed across multiple global locations, including major production hubs in Germany (particularly for electric toothbrush components and high-end manual brushes), Ireland, and China, to serve international markets.
