regular brushing (twice a day, 2
minutes).
• For everyday use, the handle can be
stored on the plugged-in charging
unit. There is no risk of overcharging.
Battery maintenance
To maintain the maximum capacity of
the rechargeable battery, unplug the
charging unit and discharge the handle
by regular use at least every 6 months.
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 (B)
(2).
• 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. Brush at least for 2 minutes.
Do not press too hard, simply let the
brush do all the work. You may also
consult your dentist or dental
hygienist about the right technique
for you (3).
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.
Timer (depending on model)
An incorporated timer memorises
the elapsed brushing time. A short
stuttering sound indicates the end
of the professionally recommended
2-minute brushing time.
Brush heads
Oral-B offers you a variety of different
Oral-B brush heads that fit your Oral-B
toothbrush handle. Our oscillating-
rotating brush heads can be used for
tooth-by-tooth precision cleaning.
The Oral-B CrossAction brush head
Our most advanced brush
head. Angled bristles for
a precise clean. Lifts and
powers away plaque.
The Oral-B Precision Clean brush head
cups each tooth with a
curved bristle trim and
reaches deep between
teeth at the same time.
The Oral-B FlossAction brush head
effectively cleans your
teeth, clean along the
gumline and in hard-to-
reach areas such as
behind teeth.
The Oral-B 3D White brush head
features a dentist-inspired
polishing cup to remove
surface stains from
coffee, tea and tobacco
for effective brightening.
Please note that children under
12 years old should not use the Oral-B
«3D White» brush head.
Our
dynamic «TriZone» brush head
can be used with all common brushing
techniques.
The Oral-B TriZone brush head
features triple zone
cleaning action for
outstanding plaque
removal, even in between
teeth.
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.
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
exchange your brush head. If the
bristles splay before the color recedes,
you may exert too much pressure on
teeth and gums (3).
Cleaning
After use, rinse the brush head for
several seconds under running water
with the handle switched on. Switch
