• For everyday use, the toothbrush
handle can be stored on the
plugged-in charging unit to maintain
it at full power. Overcharging is
impossible.
• To maintain the maximum capacity
of the rechargeable battery, unplug
the charging unit and fully discharge
the handle with regular use at least
every 6 months.
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 few 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.
Professional Timer
A short stuttering sound at 30-second
intervals reminds you to brush equally
all four quadrants of your mouth. A
long stuttering sound indicates the end
of the professionally recommended
2-minute brushing time (picture 4). The
elapsed brushing time is memorised,
even when the handle is briefly
switched off during brushing. When
pausing longer than 30 seconds the
timer resets.
Pressure Sensor
Your toothbrush has a pressure control
feature installed. If too much pressure
is applied, the oscillating movement of
the brush head will continue but the
pulsation will stop. In addition you will
hear a different sound while brushing.
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
Oral-B Precision Clean brush head
and gums. The brush head cups each
tooth with a curved bristle trim and
reaches deep between teeth at the
same time.
Our sweeping «Trizone» brush head
can be used with all common brushing
techniques.
Oral-B TriZone brush head
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 ProWhite
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
for several seconds under running
water with the handle switched on.
Switch off the handle and remove
the brush head. Rinse both parts
separately under running water then
wipe them dry before reassembling the
toothbrush. From time to time also
clean the charging unit with a damp
cloth (picture 5). Never place the
charger in dishwasher or water.
Subject to change without notice.
