Connecting and charging

Your toothbrush has a waterproof handle, is electrically safe and designed for use in the bathroom.

• Plug the basic charger (g) or the assembled charging unit picture B/C,( page 2) into an electrical outlet and place the toothbrush handle (d) on the charging unit.

• The green charge indicator light (e) flashes while the handle is being charged. Once it is fully charged, the light turns off. A full charge can take up to 22 hours and enables up to seven days of regular brushing (twice a day, 2 minutes) (picture 1, page 2). Note: After deep discharge, the green light might not flash immediately; it can take up to 10–15 minutes.

• When the rechargeable battery is low, the red low charge indicator light (f) starts flashing after turning off the toothbrush.
• For everyday use, the toothbrush handle can be stored on the charging unit to maintain it at full power. Overcharging is impossible.
• To maintain the maximum capacity of the rechargeable battery, unplug the charging unit and fully discharge the handle with regular use at least every 6 months.

Using your toothbrush

Wet brush head and apply any kind of toothpaste. To avoid splashing, guide the brush head to your teeth before switching on the appliance (picture 2, page 2).

When brushing your teeth with one of the Oral-B oscillating-rotating brush heads guide the brush head slowly from tooth to tooth, spending a few seconds on each tooth surface (picture 5, page 2).

When using the Oral-B «Deep Sweep» brush head place the toothbrush bristles against the teeth at a slight angle towards the gumline. Apply light pressure and start brushing in back and forth motions, just like you would do with a manual toothbrush (picture 6, page 2).

With any brush head start brushing the outsides, then the insides and finally the chewing surfaces. Brush all four quadrants of your mouth equally. You may also consult your dentist or dental hygienist about the right technique for you.

In the first few days of using any electric toothbrush, your gums may bleed slightly. In general, bleeding should stop after a few days. Should it persist after 2 weeks, please consult your dentist or dental hygienist. If you have sensitive teeth and gums, Oral-B recommends using the «Sensitive» mode (optional in combination with the Oral-B Sensitive Gum Care brush head).

Brushing modes (depending on model)

How to switch between modes:

Your toothbrush automatically starts in «Daily Clean» mode. To switch to other modes, successively press the on/off button.

If you wish to turn off your toothbrush from «Sensitive» mode e.g., push and hold down the on/off button until the motor stops.

Pressure Sensor

Helping protect your teeth and gums from hard brushing, your toothbrush has a pressure control feature installed. If too much pressure is applied, the red pressure sensor light (b) will light reminding you to reduce pressure (picture 4, page 2) (depending on model - starting with model 2000).

In addition the movement of the brush head will continue but its pulsation will stop and you will also hear a different sound while brushing. Periodically check the operation of the pressure sensor by pressing lightly on the brush head during use.

Professional Timer

A short stuttering sound at 30-second intervals reminds you to brush all four quadrants of your mouth equally (picture 3, page 2). A long stuttering sound indicates the end of the professionally recommended 2-minute brushing time. The elapsed brushing time is memorized when the handle is briefly switched off during brushing. When pausing longer than 30 seconds the timer resets.

Oral-B offers you a variety of different Oral-B brush heads that fit your Oral-B toothbrush handle.

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 3D White brush head with braces. You may use the Oral-B Ortho brush head, specifically designed to clean around braces and wires.
