Using the appliance
Brushing instructions
1 Wet the bristles and apply a small amount of toothpaste.
2 Place the toothbrush bristles against the teeth at a slight angle
towards the gumline (Fig. 5).
3 Press the power on/off button to switch on the Sonicare.
4 Apply light pressure to maximise Sonicare’s effectiveness and let
the Sonicare toothbrush do the brushing for you. Do not scrub.
5 Gently move the brush head slowly across the teeth in a small back
and forth motion so the longer bristles reach between the teeth.
Continue this motion throughout the brushing cycle.
Note: To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth, divide the mouth
into 4 sections using the Quadpacer feature (see chapter ‘Features’).
6 Brush each section for 30 seconds for a total brushing time of
2 minutes. Start with section 1 (outside top teeth) and then brush
section 2 (inside top teeth). Continue with section 3 (outside
bottom teeth) and finally brush section 4 (inside bottom teeth)
(Fig. 6).
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. You may also brush your tongue, with the toothbrush switched on or
off, as you prefer.
The Sonicare is safe to use on:
- Braces (brush heads may wear out more quickly when used on braces)
- Dental restorations (fillings, crowns, veneers, implants)
Note: When the Sonicare is used in clinical studies, the handle has to be fully
charged, set to the high intensity level and the Easy-start feature must be
deactivated.
