Using your toothbrush

Brushing techniques

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 3).

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 (picture 5).

With any brush head start brushing the outsides, then the insides and finally the chewing surfaces. Brush all four quadrants of your mouth equally. Do not press too hard, simply let the brush do all the work. 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/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)

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.

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 UltraThin brush head

features a combination of regular bristles to clean teeth surfaces and ultrathin bristles for a gentle brushing experience on the gumline.

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 Precision Clean brush head

provides effective and gentle cleaning action for both teeth and gums. The brush head cups each tooth with longer and denser bristles and reach deep between teeth at the same time.

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.

More 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 replace 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 «3DWhite» brush head with braces. You may use the Oral-B «Ortho» brush head, specifically designed to clean around braces and wires.

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.

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) and travel case (h) should be cleaned with a damp cloth only (picture 6). Store the clean and dry toothbrush/brush heads in the travel case.

Subject to change without notice.

Warranty replacement brush heads

Oral-B warranty will be voided if electric rechargeable handle damage is found to be attributed to the use of non-Oral-B replacement brush heads.

Oral-B does not recommend the use of non-Oral-B replacement brush heads.

• Oral-B has no control over the quality of non-Oral-B replacement brush heads. Therefore, we cannot ensure the cleaning performance of non-Oral-B replacement brush heads, as communicated with the electric rechargeable handle at time of initial purchase.
• Oral-B cannot ensure a good fit of non-Oral-B replacement brush heads.
