Brushing techniques
Wet brush head and apply any kind of toothpaste.
To avoid splashing, guide the brush head (17) to
your teeth before switching on the appliance (j).
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 (n). 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 do not forget to brush all
3 surfaces of your teeth: chewing, outer and inner
surfaces. Brush all four quadrants of your mouth
equally. You may also consult your dentist or dental
hygienist about the right technique for you.
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/or gums,
Oral-B recommends using the «Sensitive» mode
(depending on model) (optional in combination with
an Oral-B «Sensitive» brush head).
Brushing modes (depending on model)
«Daily Clean» – Standard mode for daily mouth
cleaning
«Sensitive» – Gentle, yet thorough cleaning for
sensitive areas
«Whitening» – Exceptional polishing for
occasional or everyday use
«Gum Care» – Gentle massage of gums
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 (15). Switch
off the toothbrush by holding the on/off button until
the motor stops.
Professional Timer
A short stuttering sound at 30-second intervals
reminds you to brush all four quadrants of your
mouth equally (k). 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.
Pressure sensor
If too much pressure is applied, the pressure sensor
light (16) will light up in red, notifying you to reduce
pressure (l). In addition the pulsation of the brush
head will stop and the oscillation movement of the
brush head will be reduced (during «Daily Clean»,
and «Sensitive» mode). Periodically check the
operation of the pressure sensor by pressing
moderately on the brush head during use.
Brush heads
Oral-B offers you a variety of different Oral-B brush
heads that fit your Oral-B toothbrush handle.
Our oscillating-rotating brush heads can be
used for tooth-by-tooth precision cleaning.
Oral-B CrossAction brush head
Our most advanced brush head. Angled
bristles for a precise clean. Lifts and
powers away plaque.
Oral-B FlossAction brush head
features micropulse bristles that allow
for an outstanding plaque removal in the
interdental areas.
Oral-B 3D White brush head
features a special polishing cup to
naturally whiten your teeth.
Please note that children under 12 years
old should not use the Oral-B «3D White»
brush head.
Oral-B Sensi Ultrathin brush head
features a combination of regular bristles
to clean teeth surfaces and ultrathin
bristles for a gentle brushing experience
on the gumline.
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.
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 carefully
under running water for some seconds with the
handle switched on. Switch off the handle and
remove the brush head. Clean both parts separately
under running water (m); then wipe them dry before
reassembling the toothbrush. Put the toothbrush
handle back on the charger base. The charger base
should be cleaned with a damp cloth only.
