and forth motion so the longer bristles reach between your teeth. Continue this motion throughout your brushing cycle.

Note: To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth, divide your mouth into 4 sections using the Quadpacer feature (see chapter ‘Features’).

6 Begin brushing in section 1 (outside top teeth) and brush for

30 seconds before moving to section 2 (inside top teeth). Continue brushing in section 3 (outside bottom teeth) and brush for 30 seconds before moving to section 4 (inside bottom teeth) (Fig. 7).

additional time brushing the chewing surfaces of your teeth and areas where staining occurs. You may also brush your tongue,

with the toothbrush switched on or off, as you prefer (Fig. 8).
