Pressure sensor
If you put excessive pressure on your teeth, the
red pressure sensor light (b) will light up (picture 3,
page 5). Additionally, when brushing in «Daily Clean»
or «Deep Clean» mode, the brushing mode will
change to the «Sensitive» mode. Periodically check
the operation of the pressure sensor by pressing
moderately on the brush head during use.
Note: In «Tongue Cleaning» mode the pressure
sensor is turned off.
Brushing modes
Your toothbrush offers different brushing modes:
«Daily Clean»
– Standard mode for daily
mouth cleaning
«Deep Clean»
– Mouth cleaning with
extended brushing time of
45 seconds per quadrant
(3 minute total brushing time)
«Sensitive»
– Gentle, yet thorough cleaning
for sensitive areas
«Whitening»
– Polishing for occasional or
everyday use
«Massage»
– Gentle massage of gums
«Tongue Cleaning»
– Tongue cleaning for
occasional or everyday use
When operating the «Tongue Cleaning» mode, we
recommend using the «Sensitive» brush head. You
can brush your tongue either with or without tooth-
paste. Brush the whole area of your tongue systemati-
cally in gentle movements. The recommended
brushing time is 20 seconds; the SmartGuide will
indicate completion with a smiley face.
Your toothbrush automatically starts in the «Daily
Clean» mode. To switch to the other modes, succes-
sively press the mode button (picture 4, page 5).
To return from any mode back to the «Daily Clean»
mode, press and hold the mode button.
The brushing mode is memorized even when the
handle is briefly switched off during brushing. When
pausing longer than 30 seconds or briefly pressing
the mode button (d) during pause the brushing mode
resets to the «Daily Clean» mode.
Brush heads
Oral-B also offers you a variety of different brush
heads that fit your Oral-B Professional toothbrush
handle and can be used for tooth-by-tooth precision
cleaning.
Oral-B Precision Clean brush head
provides effective and gentle cleaning
action for both teeth and gums.
The brush head cups each tooth with
longer and denser bristles and reach
deep between teeth at the same time.
Oral-B FlossAction brush head
features micropulse bristles that allow
for an outstanding plaque removal in
the interdental areas.
Oral-B ProWhite brush head
features a special polishing cup to
naturally whiten your teeth. Please
note that children under 12 years old
should not use the Oral-B ProWhite
brush head.
Oral-B Sensitive Gum Care brush head
provides thorough cleaning for sensi-
tive teeth and gums. It has an extra
soft bristle texture that is gentle on
teeth and gums.
Oral-B Ortho brush head
with special tufting pattern thoroughly
cleans and gently removes plaque
from teeth with braces.
Oral-B Power Tip brush head
The Power Tip is designed for clean-
ing between teeth as well as around
bridges, crowns and implants.
Position the Power Tip at a 45 degree
angle to the gumline. Slowly guide the
Power Tip along the gumline, pausing
between teeth for excellent results.
Our dynamic Deep Sweep brush head can be used
with all common brushing techniques.
Oral-B Deep Sweep brush head
features triple zone cleaning action for
outstanding plaque removal, even in
between teeth.
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 down
approximately in a 3-month period. If the bristles
splay before the color recedes, you may exert too
much pressure on teeth and gums.
We do not recommend using the Oral-B FlossAction
or Oral-B ProWhite brush head with braces. You
may use the Oral-B Ortho brush head, specifically
designed to clean around braces and wires.
