Who says you’re not normal? I can imagine many people are bad at tracking the time required for the desired cleaning result, or stick to wisdom they learned as kids, which might be outdated.
That being said, your hunch about the effectiveness seems to be correct:
It seems children and people that need assistance whens brushing profit most from an electric toothbrush. My dentist recommended I use an ET, so I got an ultrasonic one, which resulted in a stark difference in how clean my mouth felt. It broke since then and I got a regular ET, but much like you, I love that the device tells me when I’m done or if I’m applying too much pressure, so personally, I can’t imagine going back to manual.
