Gently move the brush head slowly across the teeth in a small
back and forth motion so the longer bristles reach between your
teeth (Fig. 8). Continue this motion throughout the brushing cycle.

To clean the inside surfaces of the front teeth, tilt the brush handle
semi-upright and make several vertical overlapping brushing
strokes on each tooth (Fig. 9).
7 Begin brushing in section 1 (outside upper teeth) and brush for 30
seconds (45 seconds in Deep Clean mode) before you move to
section 2 (inside upper teeth). Continue brushing in section 3
(outside lower teeth) and brush for 30 seconds (45 seconds in
Deep Clean mode) before you move to section 4 (inside lower
teeth (Fig. 10)).
Note: To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth, divide
your mouth into 4 sections using the Quadpacer feature (see chapter
‘Features’).
Note:After you have completed the brushing cycle, you can spend
additional time brushing the chewing surfaces of your teeth and areas
where staining occurs. (Fig. 11) You can also brush your tongue, with
the toothbrush turned on or off, as you prefer.
Your Philips Sonicare is safe to use on:
