I get what you’re saying about routine being key, but honestly, the tech made a bigger difference for me than I expected. The app kept me honest about brushing for the full two minutes, which I’d always rushed before. Maybe it’s not a forever thing, but it did help break some lazy habits.
That’s actually a good point about the app. I used a regular electric toothbrush for years and thought it was fine, but I’d always quit brushing early. When I tried one of those cheaper timer gadgets (not even a fancy app), it made me realize how quick I was rushing. Honestly, I don’t think you need to spend a ton—just something that keeps you honest about the time. For me, it was more about breaking the habit than the brush itself. Still, whatever works to get you brushing better is worth it, right?
