Toothbrush destruction

My son has some oral sensory, and keeps destroying his toothbrushes by biting them. The bristles last maybe 3 days. We have an electric, but he doesn't like it. Thoughts?

For our little one who’s autistic, sometimes the vibration from the electric can make the sensory issue worse. Do you have a pediatric dentist ? We tried a few. You can also try tooth cleaning chews for kids. There’s something called auto brush that you could try—for oral sensitivities

Have you tried the toothbrush that’s shaped like a u ? I wonder if that’ll help

THEY HAVE MOCK TOOTH BRUSHES JUST FOR THIS FEELS THE SAME BUT IT'S STURDY.

@Serena we do. I'll have to remember to bring it up at his next appointment. Ill look up the auto brush. Thanks.

My son uses a bright brush, it tells him to "brush up and down" and it gives him points. He stopped biting his toothbrush because he wants it to sing baby shark at the end.
