• Does Not Replace Flossing: While the toothbrush is highly effective for cleaning teeth, it’s essential to note that it does not replace the need for flossing, as mentioned in the product details.

Product Usage Instructions

Brushing Technique

• Place the bristle head against your teeth and gums at a slight angle (usually 45 degrees) to ensure that the bristles effectively clean the surfaces of your teeth.
• Start by brushing the outer surfaces of your upper and lower teeth, moving the toothbrush gently back and forth.
• Continue by brushing the inner surfaces of your teeth.
• For the chewing surfaces, use a gentle scrubbing motion.
• Don’t forget to brush your tongue and the inside of your cheeks using the cheek and tongue cleaner.
