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, page 5). 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 3, page 5). When using the Oral-B «Deep Sweep» 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 (picture 4, page 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. 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 gums, Oral-B recommends using the «Sensitive» mode (optional in combination with the Oral-B Sensitive Gum Care brush head).

Timer

You can choose between «Professional» or «2-Minute» timer.

The «2-Minute» timer signals with a short stuttering sound and a green light (b) that the dentist recommended 2-minute brushing time has been reached.

The «Professional» timer signals with a short stuttering sound and a green light at 30-seconds intervals to move to the next quadrant of your mouth (45 seconds intervals within «Deep Clean» mode) (picture 5, page 5). A long stuttering sound and a green light indicate the end of the professionally recommended 2-minute brushing time (3-minute brushing time within «Deep Clean» mode.

The timer memorizes the elapsed brushing time, even when the handle is briefly switched off during brushing. The timer resets if pausing longer than 30 seconds or briefly pressing the mode button (d) during pause.

Personalizing the timer Your toothbrush comes with the «Professional» timer activated. To change this, press and hold the brushing mode button for 3 seconds until the SmartGuide shows «:30» and «timer». Briefly press the on/off button to switch to the «2-Minute» timer. Push the mode button to confirm.

Pressure sensor

If you put excessive pressure on your teeth, the red pressure sensor light (b) will light up (picture 5, page 5). Additionally, when brushing in «Daily Clean» or «Deep Clean» mode, the brushing mode will change to the «Sensitive» mode. Periodically check the operation of the pressure sensor by pressing moderately on the brush head during use.

Note: In «Tongue Cleaning» mode the pressure sensor is turned off.

Brushing modes (depending on model)

Your toothbrush offers different brushing modes:

«Daily Clean» – Standard mode for daily

«Deep Clean» – Mouth cleaning with

«Sensitive» – Gentle, yet thorough cleaning

«Whitening» – Polishing for occasional or

«Massage» – Gentle massage of gums «Tongue Cleaning»

When operating the «Tongue Cleaning» mode, we recommend using the «Sensitive Gum Care» brush head. You can brush your tongue either with or without toothpaste. Brush the whole area of your tongue systematically in gentle movements. The recommended brushing time is 20 seconds; the SmartGuide will indicate completion with a smiley face.

Your toothbrush automatically starts in the «Daily Clean» mode. To switch to the other modes, successively press the mode button (picture 6, page 5). To return from any mode back to the «Daily Clean» mode, press and hold the mode button. The brushing mode is memorized even when the handle is briefly switched off during brushing. When pausing longer than 30 seconds or briefly pressing the mode button (d) during pause the brushing mode

resets to the «Daily Clean» mode.

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 down approximately in a 3-month period. 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 ProWhite brush head with braces. You may use the Oral-B Ortho brush head, specifically designed to clean around braces and wires.

Synchronizing your toothbrush

(depending on model)

Cleaning recommendations

To avoid interference of display messages when using more than one Oral-B toothbrush with radio transmission and SmartGuide in the same household, you need to assign the handles to their respective SmartGuide. You can synchronize a maximum of 2 handles with one SmartGuide. To do so, push the «h/min» button in the battery compartment for at least 3 seconds. The SmartGuide shows «L---». Turn on your handle to start the synchronization process. It is finished when «L-1-» is displayed. Turn off the handle. To assign a second handle to the same SmartGuide turn on the other handle until «L-2-» is displayed. After having synchronized the second handle, «Full» will be displayed. Exit the synchronization mode by pressing the «h/min» or «set» button, otherwise it will end automatically after 30 seconds.
