I can assure you that now days they're Oral-B in most, if not all, markets globally. Certainly in the UK, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand they are no longer sold as "Braun", just "Oral-B".
Here's the Oral-B store on amazon.de, for example:

- gnabgib 2y agoTricky to confirm (no need to follow links), but the first hits on Amazon UK[0], Amazon AU[1], Amazon US[2] are clearly labelled Braun in the images. Amazon Germany[3] and Amazon France[4] too. [0]: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Oral-B-Vitality-Toothbrush-Including-Sensitive/dp/B0B18V92KS https://www.amazon.co.uk/Oral-B-Vitality-Toothbrush-Includin...

- Reason077 2y agoYes, but they still feature the "Braun" co-branding on the device, but the primary naming/branding is always "Oral-B".
- gnabgib 2y agoThe co-branding is because the device (electronics) are Braun, and the bristles/brush-heads are Oral-B.

- Reason077 2y agoWell, yes, but both the toothbrushes and the brush heads are sold only with the "Oral-B" name in most countries. That is: Braun logo still appears on the device, but not in the product name, box, and marketing materials.

- piltdownman 2y agoGoing to the American Boots site is malicious compliance at its finest. I actually lol'd.
- Reason077 2y agoHuh? It goes to the UK Boots site for me. Where Oral-B toothbrushes are definitively called "Oral-B". Does Boots even operate in the USA? They're part of the same parent company as Walgreens so I'd be surprised if they did.
