Using your toothbrush
Brushing technique
Wet brush head and apply any kind of
toothpaste. To avoid splashing, guide
the brush head to your teeth before
switching on the appliance (picture 2).
When brushing your teeth with one of
the Oral-B oscillating-rotating brush
heads guide the brush head slowly
from tooth to tooth, spending a few
seconds on each tooth surface.
When using the Oral-B «TriZone»
brush head place the toothbrush
bristles against the teeth at a slight
angle towards the gumline. Apply light
pressure and start brushing in back and
forth motions, just like you would do
with a manual toothbrush.
With any brush head start brushing the
outsides, then the insides and finally
the chewing surfaces. Brush all four
quadrants of your mouth equally.
You may also consult your dentist or
dental hygienist about the right
technique for you (picture 3).
In the first days of using any electric
toothbrush, your gums may bleed
slightly. In general, bleeding should
stop after a few days. Should it persist
after 2 weeks, please consult your
dentist or dental hygienist. If you have
sensitive teeth and gums, Oral-B
recommends using the «Sensitive»
mode (depending on model).
Brushing modes (depending on
model)
«Daily Clean» – Standard mode for
«Sensitive» – Gentle, yet thorough
«Whitening» – Exceptional polishing
How to switch between modes:
Your toothbrush automatically starts in
the «Daily Clean» mode. To switch to
other modes, successively press the
on/off button. Switch off the
toothbrush by holding the on/off
button until the motor stops.
Pressure Sensor
To promote optimal brushing your
toothbrush has a pressure control
feature installed. If too much pressure
is applied, the movement of the brush
head will continue but its pulsation will
stop. In addition you will also hear a
different sound while brushing.
Professional Timer
A short stuttering sound at 30-second
intervals reminds you to brush all four
quadrants of your mouth equally
(picture 4). A long stuttering sound
indicates the end of the professionally
recommended 2-minute brushing
time. If the toothbrush is turned off
during brushing, the elapsed brushing
time will be memorised for 30
seconds. When pausing longer than
30 seconds the timer resets.

Brush heads

Oral-B offers you a variety of different
Oral-B brush heads that fit your
Oral-B toothbrush handle.
Most Oral-B brush heads feature light
blue INDICATOR® bristles to help you
monitor brush head replacement
need. With thorough brushing, twice a
day for two minutes, the blue color will
fade halfway approximately within 3
months, indicating the need to
exchange your brush head. If the
bristles splay before the color
recedes, you may exert too much
pressure on teeth and gums (picture
3).
We do not recommend using the
Oral-B «FlossAction» or Oral-B «3D
White» brush head with braces. You
may use the Oral-B «Ortho» brush
head, specifically designed to clean
around braces and wires.

Cleaning recommendations

After brushing, rinse your brush head
under running water with the handle
switched on. Switch off and remove
the brush head. Clean handle and
brush head separately; wipe them dry
before reassembling. Unplug the
charger before cleaning. Brush head
holder (g) is dishwasher-safe.
Charger (f) should be cleaned with a
damp cloth only (picture 5).
