The Smart 4 comes in 2 color options, white or pink.<\/p>\n<p>The Smart 4 has a white plastic body and the color accent is the rubber grip. Whereas the color on the Pro 3 is the plastic handle itself.<\/p>\n<p>The color of the handle can affect the color of the travel case and even the color of the brush head provided in the box too.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Brush_Heads\"><\/span>Brush Heads<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Smart 4 comes with 2 brush heads included, whereas the Pro 3 comes with just 1.<\/p>\n<p>These 2 heads with the Smart 4 are either both CrossAction or 1 x CrossAction and 1 x 3D White.<\/p>\n<p>The Pro 3 comes with either 1 x CrossAction, 1 x 3D White, 1 x Sensi UltraThin or 1 x Charcoal.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Brush_Head_Stand\"><\/span>Brush Head Stand<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A little extra that the Smart 4 comes with is a brush head stand. This is a white plastic module that clips around the charging stand with 2 prongs on, onto which brush heads can be placed.<\/p>\n<p>It is a simple, yet effective accessory that can provide a neat way to store additional brush heads.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pressure_Sensor\"><\/span>Pressure Sensor<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Another slight design difference is that the Pro 3 3000 has a larger and more visible light ring that wraps a full 360 degrees around the top of the brush handle.<\/p>\n<p>This is the visible pressure sensor. It lights up red when activated. Whereas the Smart 4\u2019s sensor is smaller and positioned towards the back of the brush handle.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bluetooth_Technology\"><\/span>Bluetooth Technology<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewtique.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Oral-B-Smart-4-4000.jpg\" alt=\"Oral-B-Smart-4-4000\" width=\"450\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.reviewtique.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Oral-B-Smart-4-4000.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.reviewtique.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Oral-B-Smart-4-4000-281x300.jpg 281w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4653 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20450%20480%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"Oral-B-Smart-4-4000\" width=\"450\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20450%20480%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.reviewtique.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Oral-B-Smart-4-4000.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.reviewtique.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Oral-B-Smart-4-4000-281x300.jpg 281w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewtique.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Oral-B-Smart-4-4000.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>The most significant difference between these 2 brushes is the fact that the Smart 4 has Bluetooth technology.<\/p>\n<p>You will see the Bluetooth icon on the Smart 4\u2019s brush handle. Using a free app available for Android and iOS you can connect the 4000 wirelessly to your smartphone.<\/p>\n<p>It is far from essential and you don\u2019t have to use it, but take the time to and you might well benefit. Although it does require some commitment.<\/p>\n<p>How it works? In short, it tracks your brushing frequency, brushing time, and any excess pressure you apply. It doesn\u2019t track the exact position of the brush in the mouth.<br>\nIt won\u2019t tell you that you didn\u2019t brush your back teeth for example.<\/p>\n<p>If you use the app at the same time you brush, you will get an on-screen timer.<\/p>\n<p>Because it logs your brushing sessions, it holds you accountable a bit more as you can see when you have, or perhaps have not brushed.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Price\"><\/span>Price<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Finally, the price.<\/p>\n<p>The Pro 3 3000 has a lower retail price of $120 compared to the $160 of the Smart 4000.<br>\nHowever, the retail prices don\u2019t tell the whole story.<\/p>\n<p>It is extremely common for the actual selling price of the brushes to be around 50% less.<br>\nThis means the prices reduce to $80 and $60 respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Still a difference of $20, but less of a premium given there is too an extra brush head in the box with the Smart 4 and the brush head stand.<\/p>\n<p>Technically the Pro 3 is the best value, but the Smart 4 really isn\u2019t much more expensive if you think you will benefit from the Bluetooth.<\/p>\n<p>Do be aware things are subject to change. Products do get updated and changed by manufacturers. I\u2019ve done my best to ensure everything is correct at the time of writing.<\/p>\n<!-- relpost-thumb-wrapper --><div class=\"relpost-thumb-wrapper\"><!-- filter-class --><div class=\"relpost-thumb-container\"><strong>Don't Miss:<\/strong><div style=\"clear: both\"><\/div><div style=\"clear: both\"><\/div><!-- relpost-block-container --><div class=\"relpost-block-container\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewtique.com\/how-to-choose-the-best-electric-toothbrush\/\" class=\"relpost-block-single\"><div class=\"relpost-custom-block-single\" style=\"width: 150px;
