• Slide the brush head on the handle. There will be

a tiny space (2 mm or 1/16 in.) between the brush head and the handle. This is to allow for a full range of motion for the many brush head movements.

• Place the brush head in your mouth before turning

on your Oral-B Sonic Complete.

• Angle the bristles toward the gumline (see diagram).

• Hold the handle with a light grip and turn your

Oral-B Sonic Complete on.

• Gently move the brush head in a slightly circular

motion. Allow the longer interdental bristles to reach between your teeth, while the CrissCross bristles focus on cleaning the tooth surface and gumline regions.

• After a few seconds, glide the bristles to the next

section and pause while you gently circulate the bristles again. Try using only light pressure and

let your Oral-B Sonic Complete do the brushing for you.

• Adjust your brushing, so that you keep as many

bristles in contact with your teeth as possible. Don’t forget to reach all areas, including the inner and chewing surfaces, and behind the back teeth.

Remember to floss daily.

Customize your clean

Different brushing modes for complete mouth care:

• «Clean»

for a complete cleaning of your teeth and gums.

• «Soft»

for the gentle care of your tongue and other sensitive areas.

• «Massage» (deluxe model only)

for a gentle stimulation designed to help keep gums firm and healthy.

How to switch between modes:

• To start your Oral-B Sonic Complete, push the

on/off button once, and your toothbrush automatically begins vibrating in the «Clean» mode.

• To shift from the «Clean» mode to the «Soft» mode,

push the on/off button once more.

• If your Oral-B Sonic Complete has a «Massage»

mode (deluxe model only), pushing the on/off button again will bring you from «Soft» to «Massage» mode.

• To turn your brush off from the «Massage» mode,

push the on/off button again.

• If you wish to turn your Oral-B Sonic Complete

off in the «Clean» or «Soft» mode, push and hold down the on/off button.

You may experience a slight tickling or tingling sensation when you first use Oral-B Sonic Complete. This will subside as your teeth and gums become accustomed to the Oral-B Sonic Complete cleaning experience. If you experience this initial tingling, you may want to brush in the «Soft» mode at first.

During the first few days of using your Oral-B Sonic Complete, it is possible that your gums may bleed slightly. This should stop after a few days. However, should it persist, please consult your dentist or hygienist.

Keeping your

Oral-B Sonic Complete

at its best

After brushing, switch off your Oral-B Sonic Complete and remove the brush head from the handle. Rinse the brush head under water. Wipe the handle dry after each use. Periodically wipe the charger base clean with a damp cloth. Do not use alcohol to clean any parts of your Oral-B Sonic Complete.

Questions? Ask Oral-B

I have sensitive teeth and gums. What is the best way to brush with my Oral-B Sonic Complete?

If you have sensitive teeth and gums, plan for a 1-2 week adjustment period to your Oral-B Sonic Complete. During this time, we recommend using the «Soft» mode.

How can I best remove coffee, tea or tobacco stains?

Your Oral-B Sonic Complete is clinically proven to remove stains for naturally whiter teeth. It is 25 % more effective than sonicare

. For heavy stains, we recommend

Elite brushing slightly longer to aid in their removal.

My dentist told me I have gingivitis. Can my Oral-B Sonic Complete help?

Yes. Oral-B Sonic Complete has been clinically proven to help control and even reverse gingivitis. Proper brushing for the right amount of time is key to fighting gingivitis. Oral-B Sonic Complete includes both the Professional Timer as well as the 2-Minute Timer. The Professional Timer lets you know when to move to the next quadrant of your mouth, so that you brush all four quadrants of your mouth equally and the 2-Minute Timer signals when the brushing time recommended by dental professionals has passed.

Can children use Oral-B Sonic Complete?

Yes. Children under 3 should use the product under parental supervision to ensure that all teeth and areas of the mouth are properly cleaned. We recommend using the «Soft» mode of brushing on children's teeth, as this mode is specially designed for more delicate tooth and gum areas.

Someone in my family wears braces. What is the recommended way to brush with Oral-B Sonic Complete?

Gently place the brush at an angle between the brackets and gums. Using the «Clean» mode, move the brush in a light circular motion to clean both the brackets and teeth.

I have bridges, crowns and fillings in my mouth. What is the best way to brush with my Oral-B Sonic Complete?

Like all Oral-B power toothbrushes, Oral-B Sonic Complete can be used by people with bridges, implants and crowns. We recommend using the «Clean» mode to effectively remove plaque and bacteria and improve gum health.

One of my family members has a heart pacemaker. Can he or she use Oral-B Sonic Complete?

Your Oral-B Sonic Complete is believed to be safe with many common pacemakers. However, if you have any questions concerning usage with a pacemaker, consult your physician or pacemaker manufacturer prior to use.

I have recently had oral surgery. Can I use Oral-B Sonic Complete?

You should always follow the instructions given by your oral surgeon or periodontist after an operation. Typically in the first few days following surgery, teeth and gums may be too sensitive for any toothbrush use. As quickly as your teeth and gums heal to permit brushing, you can proceed with using Oral-B Sonic Complete. The powerful plaque removal capability of Oral-B Sonic Complete will be particularly beneficial, as a clean mouth will aid the healing process.

If I have comments/questions about my Oral-B Sonic Complete, what should I do?
