3 options for affordable electric toothbrushes (that aren't Sonicare)

We've all been there: waking up the day after Christmas with the sludge of cookies still on your teeth and a hunk of rogue sugarplum wedged in the grooves of your molars. But since you've spent all your hard-earned cash on presents for your friends and family, you can't afford a tricked-out electric toothbrush to scrub down those once-pearly whites. 

To quote Fox Sports 1's Shannon Sharpe: That ain't no problem.

Below, we've rounded up three options for electric toothbrushes that'll make your wallet happy while keeping your mouth in tip-top shape, gingerbread men be damned. Be sure to enter the code MERRY15 at checkout to save an extra 15%.
