Key Difference Between Philips Sonicare Brush Heads W2 vs W3
- Both of these brush heads can effectively remove surface stains, however, the W3 can do so in just 3 days, while the W2 can take 7 days.
- The W3 is better than the W2 because its bristles are arranged in packed tufts with a bit of spacing between the tufts. They also have stain-removing bristles in the middle that are diamond-shaped. Because the bristles are tightly packed in tufts, they become a little bit stiffer and thus better at polishing the surface of teeth to remove stains. This is unlike the W2 as you see in the picture above where the bristles are linear in the arrangement. This makes them to be not as stiff as the W3 when in the sonic motion that makes 62000 movements.
- The W3 brush head is more expensive than the W2 brush head.
