Misnomer:
I know that you were asking ninetypercent , but as I have a similar “affliction” I figure I’ll chime in with my $0.02: I have an electric Oral-B toothbrush, but deliberately did not buy one with a built-in timer. The toothbrush shutting off would not make me feel like I was done brushing: I would wind up having to re-start it 2-3 times, which would just get on my nerves.
FYI, the Oral-B 3D doesn’t shut off after two minutes. It briefly flicks off and on every two minutes, but keeps running, so you can easily mark two-minute intervals.
Sorry for the double post. Damn hamsters!

I once read a science fiction book (I forget the title and author) in which nano-machines were invented that could clean your teeth as you sleep. As I recall, you could choose minty fresh, strawberry, or no flavor.

[sarcasm] Oh, well that doesn’t sound like it would be annoying at all … [/sarcasm]

That’d be Steel Beach by John Varley. One of my favorites, not that anyone asked.
Heh…I’m not putting THAT in my mouth.
Have you spoken to your dentist about this? You may have TMJ.
This is the reason I use toothpaste. Soap is not a good substitute.
