6 To clean the inside surfaces of the front teeth, tilt the brush handle
semi-upright and make several vertical overlapping brushing strokes
on each tooth (Fig. 9).
7 Begin brushing in section 1 (outside top teeth) and brush for
30 seconds (45 seconds in Deep Clean mode) before you move to
section 2 (inside top teeth). Continue brushing in section 3 (outside
bottom teeth) and brush for 30 seconds (45 seconds in Deep
Clean mode) before you move to section 4 (inside bottom teeth).
Brush section 4 for 30 seconds until the toothbrush switches
off (Fig. 10).
Note: To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth, divide the mouth
into 4 sections using the Quadpacer feature (see chapter 'Features').
Note: After you have completed the brushing cycle, you can spend additional
time brushing the chewing surfaces of your teeth and areas where staining
occurs. You may also brush your tongue, with the toothbrush switched on or
off, as you prefer (Fig. 11).
Your Sonicare is safe to use on:
- Braces (brush heads may wear out more quickly when used on braces).
- Dental restorations (fillings, crowns, veneers, implants).
