3 Place the toothbrush bristles against the teeth at a slight angle
(45 degrees), pressing firmly to make the bristles reach the gumline
or slightly beneath the gumline. A change in vibration (and a slight
change in sound) alerts you when you apply too much pressure
while brushing (Fig. 6).
Note: Keep the centre of the brush in contact with the teeth at all times.
4 Press the power on/off button to switch on the Sonicare (Fig. 7).
5 Gently keep the bristles placed on the teeth and in the gumline.
Brush your teeth with small back and forth motions so the bristles
reach between the teeth (Fig. 8).
Note: The bristles should flare slightly. Do not scrub.
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).
