Some smart models, like the Quip Smart and Oral-B iO, attempt to track where the brush head is in your mouth, with varying specificity and results. Using the right brush head for your teeth and gums matters, and we like that the Pro 1000 is compatible with nearly every model in Oral-B’s robust brush head line. The range is the widest of all toothbrush lines, making it easier to customize the brush for one user’s preferences and recommendations from their dentist. oral b genius toothbrush All you really need out of an electric toothbrush is a powerful motor and a two-minute timer to make sure you brush your teeth for the right amount of time. If you find an automated two-minute timer helpful or you need or prefer to brush with a powered assist, it may be worthwhile to upgrade from a manual to an electric toothbrush. It is a helpful on-handle timer that “buzzes” every 30 seconds letting you know when to change to the next part of the mouth.

It scrubs away biofilm that can later turn to plaque, and it makes achieving the American Dental Association’s recommended two minutes of brushing with toothpaste even more simple, and perhaps, delightful. In terms of how an electric toothbrush moves, there are three main ways – sonic, rotating, and oscillating. The head size and shape allow for more brushing surface to be covered at once,” says Dr. David Frank, a Texas-based dentist and founder of Walden Dental.
Though both brushes require you to rinse off the head after each use, the head of electric toothbrushes should be detached and cleaned separately. Also store your electric toothbrush standing up straight — this way it can dry between uses. Periodontist Scott H. Froum says, “storage of the device in a non-wet or humid environment is important.” A bathroom cabinet is a good place. Offering four modes, including two sensitive modes, you still get a superb clean both on and in between the teeth. The pressure sensors and coloured indicator ring help you apply just the right amount of pressure and keep track of a typical two-minute session. What’s more, you can use the iO Series 4 with the Oral-B app and track your dental routine from day to day and week to week.
