Charging your Ultreo
Ultreo should be charged for 24 hours prior to your first use. It is then recommended
that you keep your Ultreo in a plugged in charger base at all times when not in use to
maintain a full battery charge and optimal performance.
Connecting the Wall Plug to the Charger Base
When connecting the wall plug to the charger base, be sure to insert the plug with
the “
+
” and “
–
” symbols facing up.
To charge your Ultreo
Plug the cord into the charger base and an electrical outlet. When you place the handle
in the charger base the orange power button will glow. The battery charge status indicator
will light up as the battery is charging. When all three sections are fully lit your Ultreo is
fully charged. A full charge should last for approximately 28 two-minute uses.

Replacing your ultrasound brush head
To ensure optimal ultrasound output, it is recommended that the brush head be replaced
regularly. Ultreo has a programmable ultrasound brush head replacement indicator that
will alert you when a new brush head is needed. The words “Replace Ultrasound Brush
Head” on the display will illuminate and flash. After replacing the brush head, you will
need to manually reset the indicator feature.
To reset the brush head replacement indicator
Hold the button down for 2 seconds while the brush is in a plugged in charger. When the
“replace” light goes out, the indicator has been reset. If there are two people sharing a
single handle, follow instructions below for the “Multiple User Feature”.
Multiple user feature
To program one Ultreo handle for use by 2 individuals, hold the button down for 2 seconds
while outside of the charger. The LED display, which is normally the battery charge
status indicator, will beep and light one bar for each user. Release the button when the
LED display corresponds to the number of users per handle.

Brushing instructions
For optimum performance Ultreo should be fully charged. Follow these simple steps to
maximize your brushing experience:
1. Place a pea-size amount of toothpaste on the center of the brush head and wet the
bristles under running water.
2. Position the bristles in the back section of your bottom teeth angled into the gumline
and turn the brush on.
3. Hold the toothbrush handle with a light grip. Let the brush do all the work. Do not press
too hard or scrub. Try to keep as much fluid around the bristles as possible.
4. Move the brush in a
small circular motion
so the bristles and fluid penetrate between
your teeth and into the gumline. Spend a few seconds on each tooth and then move the
brush to the next area.
5. Use the power tip to work between your teeth and the very back of your last tooth.
Keep as many bristles in contact with the teeth as possible.
6. To ensure an even and thorough brushing, divide your mouth into 4 sections:
Section 1) outside lower teeth
Section 2) inside lower teeth
Section 3) outside upper teeth
Section 4) inside upper teeth
Begin brushing in Section 1 and brush until you hear the interval signal prompting you
to move to the next area of your mouth. After you have brushed each section of your
mouth for 30 seconds, your toothbrush will automatically turn off. You may wish to restart
Ultreo by pressing the power button if desired.
For optimal ultrasound effectiveness, we recommend beginning your brushing session on
your lower teeth so as to create a sufficient fluid base.
Other oral care needs
Stain removal
To help remove stains for naturally whiter teeth, spend additional time brushing the
affected area.
Braces
Angle the bristles between your brackets and gumline using light pressure. Gently move
the brush in a small circular motion so the bristles and fluid penetrate between your teeth.
Continue working the bristles along each bracket and all of your teeth.
Dental restorations
Ultreo is safe to use on dental restorations. Brush these restored surfaces like you would
a normal tooth surface.
Chewing surfaces
Spend extra time brushing the chewing surfaces of your teeth to remove food debris
and plaque.
Periodontal pockets
Spend extra time working the bristles into pockets where plaque collects below the gumline.
Ask your dental professional for help in identifying these areas.
