Welcome to Oral-B!

Periodically check the cord for damage. If cord is damaged, take the charging unit to an Oral-B Service Centre. A damaged or non-functioning unit should no longer be used. Do not modify or repair the product. This may cause fire, electric shock or injury.
This product is not intended for use by children under age three. Children from 3 to 14 years and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge can use the toothbrush, if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

WARNING

If the product is dropped, the brush head should be replaced before the next use even if no damage is visible.
Do not place the charger in water or liquid or store where it can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink. Do not reach for it when fallen into water. Unplug immediately.
Do not disassemble the product except when disposing of the battery. When taking out the battery for disposal of the unit, use caution not to short the positive (+) and negative (–) terminals.
When unplugging, always hold the power plug instead of the cord. Do not touch the power plug with wet hands. This can cause an electric shock.

Connecting and charging

Your toothbrush has a waterproof handle, is electrically safe and designed for use in the bathroom.

Plug the basic charger (f) or the assembled charging unit (picture A/B) into an electrical outlet and place the toothbrush handle (c) on the charging unit.
The green charge indicator light (d) flashes while the handle is being charged. Once it is fully charged the light turns off. A full charge can take up to 22 hours and enables up to seven days of regular brushing (twice a day, 2 minutes) (picture 2).
Note: After deep discharge, the green light might not flash immediately; it can take up to 10–15 minutes.
If the rechargeable battery is low the red charge indicator light (e) is flashing for some seconds when turning your toothbrush on/off.
For everyday use, the handle can be stored on the 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 3). 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 5).
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 (depending on model).

Brushing modes (depending on model)
«Daily Clean» – Standard mode for daily mouth cleaning
«Sensitive» – Gentle, yet thorough cleaning for sensitive areas
How to switch between modes:
Your toothbrush automatically starts in the «Daily Clean» mode.
To switch to the other mode, press the on/off button. If you wish to turn off your toothbrush from the «Daily Clean» mode, push and hold down the on/off button until the motor stops.

Pressure Sensor
To promote optimal brushing your toothbrush has a pressure control feature installed. If too much pressure is applied, the movement of the brush head will continue but its pulsation will stop. In addition you will also hear a different sound while brushing.
Professional Timer
A short stuttering sound at 30-second intervals reminds you to brush equally all four quadrants of your mouth (picture 4).
A long stuttering sound indicates the end of the professionally recommended 2-minute brushing time. 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.

Brush heads

Oral-B offers you a variety of different brush heads that fit your
Oral-B toothbrush.
Oral-B Precision Clean brush head cups each tooth with a curved bristle trim and reaches deep between teeth at the same time.

Oral-B Sensitive brush head features an extra soft bristle structure that is gentle on teeth and gums.

Oral-B TriZone brush head triple zone cleaning action for outstanding plaque removal, even in between teeth.

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 replace your brush head. If the bristles splay before the color recedes, you may exert too much pressure on teeth and gums (picture 1).
We do not recommend using the Oral-B FlossAction or Oral-B 3D White 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 carefully under running water for some seconds with the handle switched on.
Switch off the handle and remove the brush head. Clean both parts separately under running water then wipe them dry before reassembling the toothbrush. Disassemble the charging unit before cleaning. Never place the charger in dishwasher or water; it should be cleaned with a damp cloth only. Brush head holder (g) is dishwasher-safe (picture 6).
Subject to change without notice.
