3 To maximise the effectiveness of the Sonicare
toothbrush, use light pressure and let the
Sonicare do the brushing for you. Do not
scrub.
4 To make sure you brush evenly throughout
the mouth, divide your mouth into 4 sections:
outside upper teeth, inside upper teeth,
outside lower teeth and inside lower teeth.
Begin brushing the first section (outside upper
teeth) and brush for 30 seconds before moving
to the next section (inside upper teeth).
Continue brushing the other two sections for
30 seconds each until you have completed the
2-minute brushing cycle.
5 After the 2-minute brushing cycle, you can
briefly switch on the Sonicare again to brush
the chewing surfaces of your teeth.
You can press the on/off button to switch the
Sonicare on or off as desired.
Tip: To clean your mouth more completely, you can also
brush your tongue with the toothbrush switched on or
off, as you prefer.
Tips for specific oral care needs
- Stain removal
For even better stain removal, dedicate a few
seconds of extra brushing time to areas where
excess staining occurs.
- Braces
Place the brush head at a 45-degree angle between
the brackets and the gumline. Using light pressure,
gently move the bristles in a small circular motion
so the longer bristles reach between your teeth for
2 seconds. Then gently roll the brush handle so the
bristles clean the bracket and the rest of the tooth.
