I have used both, but I prefer the Professional Care system. The brush-heads are a bit smaller than the Triumph heads -- not by much, but just the tiny extra size of the Triumph is a bit bulky for going around the back wisdom teeth.
Separate brush-heads for either model are available at the stores -- you could switch back and forth between the two types, as both fit on my Professional Care unit. BTW, I highly recommend the Oxyjet system, which combines the Professional Care brush and a water irrigator. Even with best efforts of cleaning and flossing, the water jet system removes a lot of food that is hidden and trapped, after the regular brushing & flossing. I am attaching a link about this.
personally i think the sonicare is the best. good sized head, timer, charge life.
professionally, i think there's a difference btw any of them. of course the manufacturer will tell you otherwise and publish 'research' to back them up, but regardless one doesn't brush you teeth better than the other. having said that there are a couple of things to remember everytime you do brush.
1) brush longer, not harder: sometimes ppl tell me, 'if it don't hurt, it's not clean'. this is not true. i tell ppl that if you brush for 2mins (30 secs on each side, upper and lower), gently! throughout it'll get everything. the stuff that doesn't come off, needs to be removed by the hygienist.
be wary when brushing hard. you could cause gingival recession and expose the roots of your teeth and maybe even wear away your teeth. so don't do it.
2) flossing before you brush: this will get rid of the plaque in btw your teeth and increase contact of the good fluoride from brushing.
3) bleeding is NOT normal when brushing or flossing: it's a sign of gingival inflammation. the good part is that if you floss/brush 3x/day for 3 weeks, generally it'll go away.
4) carry a brush with you: so after you eat you can brush in the rest room whereever you are!
good luck and keep smiling.
