Best Philips Sonicare Brush Head 2023

Sonicare Electric Toothbrush Heads Explained 2023

📣 Editor’s Note: Click here if you are looking for heads for the Philips One by Sonicare.

What’s the best Sonicare brush head?

It is quite difficult to say that one brush head is the ‘best’.

Each head offers different things and is engineered slightly differently.

The G2 Gum Care brush head might be more suitable to those with periodontal disease, whereas the W DiamondClean brush head is most suitable for those looking to whiten their teeth.

However, there are a couple of brush heads that are good all-rounders and suitable for most people.

Best all-round Philips Sonicare brush head

You want to opt for the Sonicare C1 Pro Results or C2 Optimal Plaque Control brush head is my choice for superior every day, all-round cleaning.

The C2 Optimal Plaque Control is better suited to those brush handles that have BrushSync technology (more on that below).

There may well be one better suited to you, which you can decide upon based on the information provided below. I explain all the different Philips Sonicare Sonic brush heads in detail on this page and make it easier for you to understand which brush head to opt for.

I’ve also created a comparison chart, which lists all the brush heads available to buy.

Best Sonicare brush head for sensitive teeth

Sensitivity in the teeth and gums is a common occurrence for many people and subsequently, the use of a firm bristled brush head is very unappealing.

Periodontal disease is a common cause of this sensitivity, but it is brushing the teeth regularly and correctly that can actually improve pain felt when brushing, for a large number of people.

The Sonicare S Sensitive or G2 Optimal Gum Care brush head is the head you want for your brush.

For maximum effect, use the Sensitive brush head with the sensitive or gum health cleaning mode available on many Sonicare toothbrushes.

It is possible to use any of the Sonicare brush heads with the sensitive cleaning mode on Sonicare brush handle, but the clean and experience may not be as enjoyable if you suffer from sensitive gums.

The G2 Optimal Gum Care head is better suited to those brush handles that have BrushSync technology.

If you regularly experience sensitive teeth and gums, you should seek further advice from a dentist as you may need to consider a change in diet, specialist toothpastes or even dental work.

Best Sonicare brush head for braces

One of the most common bits of advice when wearing a brace is to brush your teeth regularly and well.

Hey, that is good advice, brace or not, but for those with braces, particularly fixed, the importance is greater.

The surface area and small gaps in the brace offer lots of ideal places for food particles to get trapped and bacteria to form and develop

You want to opt for the Sonicare C1 Pro Results or C2 Optimal Plaque Control brush head.

The C2 Optimal Plaque Control is better suited to those brush handles that have BrushSync technology.

Brands like Oral-B have specialist ‘Ortho’ brush heads (view them here on the Oral-B website), but when using a Sonicare electric toothbrush, you don’t need a special head, all of the range will pass over and around your braces to help deliver a fantastic clean.

This video explains the cleaning process around braces with a Sonicare brush.

Best Sonicare brush head for whitening teeth

The W DiamondClean brush head is the ideal brush head for helping to whiten the teeth.

The W2 DiamondClean brush head is optimized to remove surface stains from the exterior surfaces of the teeth, to restore the natural, often whiter color of your teeth.  Diet and lifestyle habits can cause staining to build-up on the tooth surface that makes the teeth look dull and discolored.

The tightly compacted diamond shaped bristles create a stain-removal pad and offer a superior clean.  This brush head is BrushSync compatible too.

If you have a whitening mode on your toothbrush handle, this is the ideal mode to pair with this brush head to achieve the best whitening effect.

Which brush head should I use?

This is a question you are best off answering yourself.

I hope that the information within this article will help make that decision process easier.

Whilst the Sonicare C2 Optimal Plaque Control brush head is my choice for superior everyday use, you might find another is better suited to you.

All heads will deliver a very good overall clean, make no doubt about it.

The sweeping motion and the power delivered from the brush head will lift and move more plaque and debris than a manual toothbrush and generally aid your overall oral health.

Sonicare Brush Heads Explained

It is time to dig a bit deeper into the different brush heads and their differences.

It can get quite overwhelming as there are so many options on offer from Sonicare, particularly as so many of the heads appear to do the same thing, or achieve extremely similar results.

But it can get even more complicated with different pack sizes and different brush head colors too.

You then have to worry as to whether they are compatible with your Sonicare brush handle.

The remainder of this article goes into much more detail, but hopefully breaks things down and explains everything in a way that makes sense.

The main brush types:

At the time of writing, I calculate that there are some 14 different types of brush heads.

1. C1 Pro Results
2. C2 Optimal Plaque Control
3. C3 Premium Plaque Control
4. G2 Optimal Gum Care
5. G3 Premium Gum Care
6. I InterCare
7. S Sensitive
8. W DiamondClean
9. W3 Premium White
10. T1 TongueCare+
11. SimplyClean
12. E-Series
13. PowerUp
14. A3 Premium All-in-One

There is also then the Kids range, but more on that later.

Each head has different features which in theory make them unique and more appealing to different users.

The following gives a brief overview of each style of brush head.

• C1 ProResults – A contoured profile to the brush head achieves twice the plaque removal than a manual brush.
• C2 Optimal Plaque Control – BrushSync compatible it is possible to remove 7 times more plaque than a manual brush head, thanks to the soft bristles and specially curved power tip makes reaching the teeth at the back of your mouth a breeze.
• C3 Premium Plaque Control  – BrushSync compatible the bristles on this head offer up to 4 times more surface contact whilst the flexible sides are soft on the cheeks and gums.
• G2 Optimal Gum Care – BrushSync compatible this head is gentle, yet effective plaque removal, particularly along the gumline, improving your gum health.
• G3 Premium Gum Care – BrushSync compatible the head absorbs excess pressure through the bristles and flexible sides and can remove 10 times more plaque than a manual toothbrush.
• I InterCare – BrushSync compatible, within 2 weeks bleeding and inflammation at the gumline will be reduced. Long bristles read deep between teeth to dislodge more plaque and bacteria within interdental spaces.
• S Sensitive – Ultra-soft bristles for gentle, effective cleaning. It also features a special trim profile to cushion teeth for a gentler brushing experience.
• W DiamondClean – BrushSync compatible effective surface stain removal offers up to a 100% whiter smile in just 7 days thanks to the Diamond shaped bristles.
• W3 Premium White – BrushSync compatible, in just improvements in your oral health can be seen in as little as 3 days.  Removing plaque and surface stains, the bristles make plenty of contact with the teeth and gums, but is able to flex and adapt to the differing shapes to ensure maximum results at all times.
• T1 TongueCare+ – BrushSync compatible, this paddle shaped brush head has 240 MicroBristles that clean deep into the pores of the tongue surface.
• SimplyClean – Click on brush head with the authentic Sonicare cleaning experience. Bristles cut and shaped to differing lengths gives a thorough clean.
• E-Series – The classic Sonicare brush head with a contoured profile to naturally fit the shape of your teeth for a thorough clean.  Screw on style brush head.
• PowerUp – Designed specifically for the battery operated PowerUp the large head is designed for a good overall clean and even features crisscross bristles on the side for effective gumline cleaning.
• A3 Premium All-in-One – Designed to be a multipurpose brush head this all-in-one option removes 20x more plaque than a manual toothbrush. It helps remove stains and care for the gums. It does away with the need to switch brush heads for specific needs. BrushSync compatible.

Given that each brush head offers something a little different, it is easy to think that you should use more than 1 different style, but that is not the case.

There may be benefits to you if you did do this, but greater benefit will come from regular cleaning, with the correct technique.

You then have different brush head colors

Philips Sonicare produces toothbrush handles in a range of different colors.

White is the default color for the plastic used to make the brush heads.

White tends to complement most colors, but in some instances a color matched brush head can look better.

In addition to the white colored heads, Sonicare do offer black colored brush heads.

The only difference with these black colored heads is the color of the plastic used.  There are no design or function differences.

The black colored heads can be purchased in most of the 7 ranges.  However, at the time of writing, you cannot get black colored versions of:

• C2 Optimal Plaque Control
• G2 Optimal Gum Care
• I Intercare
• C1 ProResults
• SimplyClean
• S Sensitive
• E-Series
• PowerUp

You then have different pack sizes:

Brush head design style considered, the next thing to contend with is the size of the pack they come provided in.

When you buy replacements or spares, you can get them in different pack sizes.  We are not talking about the physical size of the packaging, but the number of brush heads included.

You can’t buy just 1 brush head at a time.

The smallest pack size is 2 brush heads, but most common in the USA is a pack of 3 heads.

However, packs of 4, 5, 6 and 8 also exist.

If you want to save money when buying heads, buying a larger pack, is typically the best way to save a few dollars.

Specialist brush heads/nozzles

It can easily be argued that each brush head within the Sonicare range is specialist, in that they are each designed to do something specific.

However, the following are even more specialist. Technically, these are not brush heads, they are nozzles.

These are what some might call the heads, for the Sonicare Power Flosser range of water flossers.

These are not compatible with a Sonicare toothbrush, only the Power Flossers.

3 different nozzle styles exist, they are:

• F1 standard nozzle (HX3042/00) – For a continuous water jet.
• F2 comfort nozzle (HX3052/00) – Soft rubber tipped nozzle with a continuous water jet.
• F3 Quad stream nozzle (HX3062/00) – Soft rubber tipped nozzle that forms water into an X shape.

Now discontinued, Sonicare previously produced the AirFloss.

It combined air with a small amount of water and was a more convenient option for cleaning between the teeth. It wasn’t strictly a water flosser.

It too used nozzles, and although discontinued, replacement tips can still be purchased as a 2 pack (HX8032/23).

BrushSync (Smart) brush heads

A new innovation in electric toothbrush technology, BrushSync was first introduced in 2017 with the Sonicare DiamondClean Smart.

It is a technology that offers communication between the brush handle and brush head.

The following video explains what you need to know, but a written explanation is included below too.

Philips Sonicare BrushSync Explained

BrushSync compatible brush heads communicate with the handle via an RFID chip they have built-in.

The technology comprises of two different functions.

• Brush head replacement reminder
• Mode pairing

The brush head replacement reminder tells you — via an LED on the brush handle — when it is time to change or replace your brush head.

When a brush head is fitted to the brush handle for the first time, the chip is detected and the warning light will flash three times. This acts as confirmation that the handle has detected the head and that the electronics inside the handle will now keep track of it.

As you use the brush head, the handle continues to track how often it has been used.

The handle knows that the brush head should be replaced every three months. So, once the handle detects that the brush head has been used for this amount of time, the ‘BrushSync’ LED on the brush handle will light up an Amber/Orange color.  It is at this point you should fit a new head.

But, things get more intelligent.

If it detects that you have brushed three times a day every day or brushed with more pressure, it will activate the BrushSync alert sooner, as the bristles will have worn out sooner than the typical 3 month time period.

It will also delay alerting you to replace the brush head, if you used that head just once a day over 3 months.  It would not tell you to replace it until it had been used for the equivalent to 4 minutes a day for 3 months.

As the BrushSync mode pairing name kind of implies, the brush automatically selects the appropriate cleaning mode and intensity based on the brush head attached.

This means that if you fit the W DiamondClean head to the handle, it will automatically select the whitening cleaning mode.

If you were to buy and fit the C2 Optimal Plaque Control brush head to the handle, it would pair with the ‘Clean’ mode whilst the G2 Optimal Gum Care brush head will pair with the Gum Care mode.

The idea of this pairing is to achieve the best cleaning results possible.

Not all brush handles have both BrushSync features. The most common is the head replacement reminder.  If the handle has mode pairing, then it will likely have the replacement reminder too.

For BrushSync to function, you must use a BrushSync compatible head, these are:

• C2 Optimal Plaque Control
• C3 Premium Plaque Control
• G2 Optimal Gum Care
• G3 Premium Gum Care
• I InterCare
• W DiamondClean
• W3 Premium White
• A3 Premium All-in-One

It is perfectly possible to use a non BrushSync compatible head on a BrushSync enabled handle, but you will not enjoy the benefits it brings.  This is the same if you use one of the BrushSync heads listed on a handle that does not support BrushSync.

We have written more about this in our BrushSync explained post.

Most Sonicare heads are interchangeable

Do All Sonicare Heads Fit To All Sonicare Handles?

With few exceptions, the range of brush heads on offer from Sonicare work with any brush handle.

This means whether you have a DiamondClean Smart or a FlexCare brush handle you can use the ProResults Gum Health or the Sensitive brush head or the AdaptiveClean head if you prefer.

You can swap as frequently or infrequently as you like.

Maybe you want to clean in the morning with InterCare and in the evening with DiamondClean, that is perfectly fine.

The heads use a simple ‘click on’ mechanism.

Just push the head onto the top of the brush handle and then pull it away from the handle to remove it.

You can replace a brush head in just a couple of seconds.

Third party or aftermarket alternatives can be purchased. It is advised to only use Philips Sonicare brush heads with the brush handles as performance and wear on the brush using other brush heads cannot be guaranteed.

It is worth noting that whilst interchangeable BrushSync compatible handles require BrushSync compatible heads for all functions of the brush head to work.

The notable exceptions to the ‘interchangeable’ rule is the PowerUp brush handle and head as well as the Sonicare Essence (E-Series) that requires and works only with the E-Series brush heads.  The E-Series screw on mechanism will not work with any other brush handle. This said, there is a standard, compact and sensitive brush head, specific to the E-Series, so there is still a degree of choice.

A look at the individual types of brush head

Hopefully, that overview has helped, but now we shall take a much more thorough look at the heads on offer and better understand their differences and selling points.

C1 ProResults

Twice as effective as a regular toothbrush head, the bristle formation is designed with plaque removal and user comfort in mind.

Contoured to the shape of the teeth, the bristles sweep with ease, but effectiveness to get rid of the bacteria that builds up in the mouth and on the surfaces within.

Sonicare brushes can offer up to 31,000 strokes per minute so the ProResults head has been designed to take advantage of this to effectively clean tooth surfaces that bristles can reach and into deeper gaps between teeth.

This does not mean a harsh or aggressive brushing experience, in fact, quite the opposite.

Like the other brush heads available, simply click on and off and replace every 3 months.

Not sure how long ago you changed? Just take a look at the blue indicator bristles. If they look more white than blue, it is time for a change.

The head fits all Philips Sonicare toothbrush handles except PowerUp Battery and Essence.

C2 Optimal Plaque Control Heads

Lots of bristles are packed tightly together to create the shape and sized tufts seen on the Plaque Defence brush head.

Their angle, length and positioning make them effective for all over cleaning and plaque removal.  They are in fact 7 times more effective than a manual toothbrush.

Perfectly suited for those wishing to ensure optimum plaque removal as part of their daily brushing routine, the C2 brush head does too boast a specially designed curvature to the tip of the brush head, that helps reach the very back teeth.

Philips’s development team have engineered this brush head to make best use of the sonic motion that a Sonicare handle can offer.

SimplyClean

Click on style heads, the SimplyClean brush head offers Sonicare’s classic brush head style that offers a good standard of overall gleaning to the teeth and gums.

Bleeding and sensitive gums can be a sign of poor oral health, it can also be as a result of dental work or you can be prone to suffering with this more than most.

Sonic motion from the brush handle is transferred into rapid movements amongst the bristles that create a dynamic motion to drive fluids over and around the teeth for thorough cleaning.

Reminder bristles ensure you get the most effective clean At first glance it may not be obvious, but brush heads lose stiffness and gradually wear down over months of normal use. Blue reminder bristles fade to white and help you recognize when it’s time for a replacement. For optimal results, replace your brush head every three months.

The SimplyClean brush head is compatible with:

• Prestige 9900*
• DiamondClean Smart*
• DiamondClean
• ExpertClean*
• FlexCare Platinum Connected
• FlexCare Platinum
• FlexCare+
• FlexCare
• ProtectiveClean*

E- Series Heads

A classic Sonicare brush head, the contoured bristles offer a great clean to the teeth and gums.

Ideally suited for everyday use, plaque removal is effective with this E-Series brush head.

It takes the sonic movement delivered from the brush motor and drives the bristles around the teeth to get that overall clean but too create an action that helps drive the toothpaste and cleaning effect deeper between teeth.

The head screws on, rather than clips onto the brush handle and is therefore suitable for select models, notably the Sonicare Essence.

Reminder bristles ensure you get the most effective clean At first glance it may not be obvious, but brush heads lose stiffness and gradually wear down over months of normal use. Blue reminder bristles fade to white and help you recognize when it’s time for a replacement. For optimal results, replace your brush head every three months.

The E-Series brush head is compatible with:

• Essence (E-Series)

PowerUp Heads

Designed to be used with the battery powered PowerUp electric toothbrush these larger brush heads give a great overall clean.

Covering a large surface area the teeth and gums get swept with the soft bristles placed in this head.

A criss-cross configuration on the side of the head work to clean effectively along the gumline, a common location for plaque buildup.

Available with Blue or Orange bristles, it is the Orange bristles that are the softest for those who are particularly sensitive to the rapid motion offered by a toothbrush head.

This brush head clicks on and off your brush handle for a secure fit and easy maintenance and cleaning.

Fading indicator/reminder bristles are built into the brush head.

Blue bristles fade over time to a pale Blue/Translucent color as they are used and worn.  For optimal results, replace your brush head every three months.

The PowerUp brush head is compatible with:

• PowerUp Battery

A3 Premium All-in-One

​As the name implies, this is designed to be a multipurpose brush head.

It does away with the need to switch between multiple heads. It reduces the need for using different cleaning modes too.

Use this on the standard clean mode and get great results.

It is clinically proven to remove 20x more plaque than a manual brush. It has be shown to achieve healthier gums and up to 100% stain reduction from the tooth surface too.

Different shaped bristle clusters and angled bristles help to ensure effective cleaning of the tooth surface. The head cups the teeth with longer bristles at the top and bottom to reach around the tooth.

Shorter bristles in the middle make good contact with the tooth surface and the bristles on the side of the head are longer and flex to absorb unwanted excess pressure as they clean along the gumline.

It is the triangular tips of each bristle that help buff the tooth surface to remove stains. Triangular tips offer more surface area for cleaning compared to the rounded tips you usually get.

This brush head simply clicks on and off your brush handle for a secure fit and easy maintenance and cleaning.

This is no ordinary brush head though.  Thanks to a built-in chip, when you fit onto a compatible brush handle, the microchip communicates with the brush handle to launch the optimum cleaning mode and intensity level for the most effective plaque removal experience.

The A3 Premium All-in-One brush head is compatible with:

A3 Premium All-in-One brush heads are ideally suited to work with:

• 3100 Series
• 4100 Series
• ProtectiveClean
• ExpertClean
• DiamondClean Smart
• Prestige 9900
• Any other Sonicare model with BrushSync mode pairing

It is possible to use the A3 head on the following models, but the ‘Smart’ feature of the brush head WILL NOT work.

• DiamondClean
• FlexCare Platinum Connected
• FlexCare Platinum
• FlexCare+
• FlexCare
• HealthyWhite

Compatible cleaning modes – which cleaning modes do Sonicare brushes have?

If you fit a BrushSync head to a compatible handle it will select the most appropriate cleaning mode and intensity.

These are ideal settings and not essential.

It is possible that a W DiamondClean White brush head on a White cleaning mode will achieve better results than the same brush head on a Gum Care mode.

However, there are other influencing factors such as how you use the brush and your diet that will likely have bigger effects than using the specific brush head with the ideal cleaning mode.

Of course, if you have the option to do so, then great.

Depending on the brush handle you have will depend on the cleaning modes that it offers.

All have the standard ‘Clean’ mode which lasts for the dentist recommended 2 minutes.

However, some models, notably the more premium ones offer extra modes that can help you achieve different healthcare goals.

The main cleaning modes available across the Sonicare range are:

• Clean
• White/White+
• Deep Clean/Deep Clean+
• Gum Care/Gum Health
• Sensitive
• Massage
• Refresh
• Polish
• Tongue Care

What do the Sonicare brush head model numbers mean?

As you will now be aware there are a very large number of different brush heads, all with similar, yet slightly different names.

The names are more descriptive than part codes, but these codes are often given to products by their manufacturers to help differentiate them internally.

It is the product code that makes each item unique.

Be it a brush head or a brush handle Sonicare give it a code.

So what do the product codes mean in relation to the brush heads on offer?

This is a question we cannot provide a definitive answer to.

All the brush head part numbers start with HX followed by 4 numbers then there is often a forward slash (/) and two more numbers. For example: HX6074/26

The only consistent figure we know of that you can use to help identify a pack is the 4th digit after the 2 letters.  Using the above example we mean the 4.

This relates to the number of brush heads included in the pack.  2 if there are 2 brush heads, 4 if 4 heads are included, 6 and 8, you get the idea.

Which brush heads are compatible with my Sonicare electric toothbrush?

Unless you own a Sonicare E-Series (Essence) or PowerUp brush handle, all of the brush heads shown will fit and work with your Sonicare electric toothbrush.

The Sonicare AirFloss and Power Flosser Nozzles will not work with all of the brush handles.  They fit only the Sonicare Airfloss and Power Flosser devices.

Sonicare brush heads for kids

The main focus of this article has been on the brush heads designed and engineered for Adults, but Sonicare do produce electric toothbrushes for children too.

There are 2 different brush heads that work on their brush handles.

These heads are very similar in what they aim to achieve, but have been designed with the smaller and more delicate mouths of children in mind.

You will find lots of super soft bristles on the brush head, which not only gently remove plaque and food debris, but allow children to take advantage of the power of an electric toothbrush without discomfort that might come from firmer bristles that could damage the soft tissues within their mouth.

The whole head is even coated in a soft rubber so that as it passes across the cheeks and gums, its is not as abrasive as a harder plastic.

With a contoured profile to fit your child’s teeth, the standard sized heads are most suited to children aged 7+ whilst the smaller compact option are best suited to kids aged 3/4+.

Simple to replace, click on and off just like adult heads.

You can buy them in the following pack sizes, all available here from Amazon:

• 2 standard brush heads (HX6042/94) (view on Amazon)
• 2 compact brush heads (HX6032/94) (view on Amazon)

The Sonicare For Kids brush head is compatible with:

Sonicare For Kids brush heads work with a more select range of brush handles, these are:

• For Kids
• For Kids with Bluetooth

How and when to replace the brush heads

As things go in life, using a toothbrush head for 4 months is not the worst thing you could do, but if you can change the brush head every 3 months it would be best and will keep your dentist happy.

Even if you are using the right technique, our mouths and teeth with regular brushing will cause bristles to wear.

Even the best brush heads are not designed to be as effective after roughly 3 months use, thus, you should replace them.

What might appear to be a perfectly acceptable and usable brush head can be doing more damage than you may think if you continue to use if for longer than you should.

Uneven wear, frayed bristles and bacteria are all reasons to change that brush head.  You don’t want it to be cutting or scratching the gums and teeth.

For those using a BrushSync compatible handle and brush head, the Amber BrushSync LED will illuminate to alert you when a replacement head is required or of course, the fading indicator bristles will give you the visual clue you need.

Fading Indicator & Reminder Bristles

Particular bristles on the head will start out blue and will over a 3 month period fade to become a pale blue/translucent white color.

These are the reminder or indicator bristles give you a guide to the usable life left.

The lighter the bristles, the older and more worn the brush head is.

At first glance it may not be obvious, but brush heads lose stiffness and gradually wear down over months of normal use.

For optimal results, replace your brush head every three months.

Bristle Condition

Take a look at the bristles, are they still fairly uniform in their direction and look.  Does the bristle layout look similar to when the brush head was new?

If bristles are shorter, frayed or all over the place then it is time to change.

Brushing with too much pressure is often a cause of wearing out brush heads quicker than normal.

Replacement Reminders LED & Smartphone Application

For those using a BrushSync enabled handle and a compatible brush head, an Amber LED will illuminate when a replacement head is required.

Each head is tracked based on its individual use, so you get the alert at just the right time.

For those with BrushSync and Bluetooth enabled brushes, the smartphone application will also show the brush head usage data. It clearly shows for each brush head how many times it has been used and how many uses are left.

This means, even if you ever want to check in and get a gauge of how much it has been used, you can.

How to replace the heads – click on and off

How do you replace the heads on the Sonicare brushes? In two simple stages:

1. Pull the brush head away from the brush handle with a small amount of force to release the connection. There will likely be a click and you will revel a metal prong that is the shaft that connects to the motor. The head is now detached.

2. Fit a brush head by pushing the metal tip of the brush motor at the top of the brush handle into the hole in the bottom of the brush head.  As the two are pushed together there will be a click, the head is now attached.

How To Fit & Remove Sonicare Brush Heads

Discontinued Philips Sonicare Toothbrush Heads

It happens fairly infrequently, but every few years, the range of Philips Sonicare heads alters.

The change to their range is to give you and me the best cleaning experience, when using a Sonicare toothbrush.

The newer brush heads are often more efficient, benefit from improved quality, the latest manufacturing standards and can have new technology built-in.

Approximately midway through 2019, Philips Sonicare refreshed their toothbrush head range.

Prior to 2019, brush heads could be purchased in a standard and compact size.  This option has been removed.

Subsequently, this has meant that a number of brush heads have been discontinued.

Although Sonicare no longer manufactures these heads, stock has and will continue to remain available for some time after.

The following is a list of brush heads that Sonicare used to manufacture, but have now discontinued.

DiamondClean Heads

The DiamondClean toothbrush head for Sonicare electric toothbrushes can remove up to 100% more stains for whiter teeth in just 7 days.

Specially designed Diamond-shaped bristles assist in achieving whitening.

This head features a central stain-removal pad, made from densely packed diamond-shaped bristles, to remove surface stains caused by food, drinks and smoking.

Philips development team have engineered this brush head to make best use of the sonic motion that a Sonicare handle can offer. The dynamic fluid action that is created as a result of the high frequency and high-amplitude brush movements works to offer a deep cleaning action from all areas of the brush head, driving fluid deep between the teeth and along the gumline.

This brush head clicks on and off your brush handle for a secure fit and easy maintenance and cleaning.

It fits all Philips Sonicare toothbrush handles except, PowerUp Battery and Essence.

Reminder bristles ensure you get the most effective clean.

AdaptiveClean Heads

4 times more surface contact than a DiamondClean brush head, the AdaptiveClean toothbrush head from Sonicare follows the unique shape of the teeth and gums.

A soft, flexible rubber sided head allows the bristles of the brush to adjust to the shape of each tooth’s surface.

As such this can lead to up to 10 times more plaque removal than a manual toothbrush along the gum line and between teeth.  Even the hardest to reach areas get a deep clean, that is still gentle on the gums.

Tracking along the gum line the rubber sides of the brush head absorbs excessive pressure you might apply, further protecting the soft tissue.

Offering the deepest clean, the Sonicare electric toothbrush is not as effective without such an engineered brush head.  Taking full advantage of the high-frequency and high-amplitude brush movements, performing over 31,000 strokes per minute, the brush head takes that power and drives toothpaste and fluid deep in between teeth.

This brush head simply clicks on and off your brush handle for a secure fit and easy maintenance and cleaning and is compatible with all Sonicare brushes with the exception of PowerUp Battery and Essence models.

Available in the standard and compact size the InterCare brush head like the others available, takes full advantage of the power delivered by the different Sonicare brush handles.

The powerful motor drives a high-frequency and high-amplitude brush movements to perform over 31,000 strokes per minute.  The result is the power fully extends from the brush handle all the way to the tip of the brush head.

Within the mouth the result is a dynamic fluid action that drives fluid deep between teeth, even in hard to reach areas and along the gum line.

Suitable for a variety of users, but particularly those looking to improve gum health.   In just 2 weeks the results can be seen and Phillips suggest up to 7 times more plaque removal than a manual brush.
