How to use an electric toothbrush - step-by-step instructions and recommendations

The Oral-B iO Series 9 electric toothbrush looks like a little spaceship. It has a lot of functions, settings and modes that you will have to figure out if you really want to have healthy, white teeth.

The main thing you need to know about this toothbrush is that it can really make your teeth stronger, whiter and healthier. But just like a fitness bracelet will not pump up your muscles, Oral-B iO Series 9 will work and bring results only if you desire and daily sessions of proper brushing of your teeth, according to the recommendations of the brush.

Yes, yes, the toothbrush itself controls how, for how many minutes and which teeth need to be brushed . As I say, it’s not a brush, but almost a robot with its own intelligence.

Oral-B iO Series 9 costs 24,990 rubles, and you invest this money in your health. Believe me, going to the dentist will cost more, and the sensations will be much more unpleasant.

Let's look at the smartest toothbrush to date.

How does it work?

Compared to regular toothbrushes, which require 3-5 minutes of brushing, electric products save time and effort. Their bristles vibrate with a motor built into the body. The bristles move up and down or age-rotational, eliminating plaque and food debris.

The procedure usually lasts two minutes, but can be repeated. According to the speed of the device, there are:

1. Sound. The vibration of the bristles is audible to the human ear. The products operate at a frequency of 200-400 Hz and perform 24,000-48,000 movements per minute. The rotating bristles have a large sweep, so they have a sweeping effect.
2. Ultrasonic. Such brushes remove plaque using acoustic vibrations in an environment with a frequency beyond human audibility. They operate at a frequency of 1.6 MHz and carry out up to 192 million movements per minute.

Today, devices with sound and ultrasonic technology are produced. The sound mode of the bristles “sweeps” food, and the vibrations destroy plaque, which protects the gums from bacteria. Before using this product, you should be familiar with how to use an electric toothbrush.

Braun Oral-B Triumph chorale

The Braun Oral-B Triumph horal is a premium electric teeth cleaning device designed with the most innovative technology. It is capable of performing 4,000 pulsating and 8,000 rotating movements in 60 seconds, which ensures high-quality cleaning of plaque. On the body there is a display showing the amount of brush pressure, cleaning duration and battery charge level.

The device has 5 operating modes:

• Daily cleaning.
• Cleaning sensitive teeth.
• Gum massage.
• Polishing and whitening is a mode for periodic use that allows you to add shine and lighten the enamel of your teeth.
• Deep cleaning - a longer period of work - at least 45 seconds are allocated for each quadrant of the dentition.

The toothbrush comes with 6 different replacement heads:

• Oral-B Floss Action - the nozzle is equipped with special bristles that imitate the movements of dental floss.
• Oral-B Sensitive is a nozzle for gentle cleaning of sensitive enamel.
• Oral-B Precision Clean has a bowl-shaped head that wraps around the tooth on all sides.
• Oral-B 3D-White is a device for polishing and whitening enamel.
• Oral-B Stages Kids is a children's mouthpiece featuring Mickey Mouse.
• Oral-B Ortho is an orthodontic appliance for people wearing braces.

Choice

Before purchasing an electric toothbrush, it is advisable to visit your dentist. After examining the condition of your teeth, the doctor will help you decide which product to choose and how to use it.

When purchasing an electric toothbrush, you must rely on the following rules:

1. It is advisable to buy devices with a bowl-shaped or round head.
2. It is important to pay attention to the pressure indicator; this function will prevent strong pressure on the teeth and gums, which will protect against injury.
3. When choosing this device, you need to pay attention that the kit includes replaceable attachments that need to be changed periodically.
4. There are different attachments - for cleaning, whitening, sensitive gums, children's, for crowns or bridges. The greater their number, the more versatile the product.
5. The timer helps to evenly brush the upper and lower rows of teeth and protects against strong or insufficient exposure to a specific area.

Oral-B TriZone

Oral-B TriZone brushes combine all the advanced technologies for high-quality cleaning of teeth and gums from soft plaque. They are able to work using innovative 3D technology, which was developed by the world's leading dentists. This device perfectly cleans plaque, gently cares for sensitive teeth and freshens breath for many hours.

Three-dimensional impact is ensured by the presence of a power protrusion, pulsating, stationary and sweeping bristles. With their help, the transition from a regular manual brush to an electric one occurs unnoticed. The bristles, which perform various functions, allow you to treat hard-to-reach interdental spaces - it is in the area of ​​​​tooth contact that caries most often begins.

The uniqueness of TriZone technology lies in the combination of familiar teeth brushing and new “sweeping” technology.

Compared to a regular toothbrush, an electric device with a three-dimensional cleaning system has undeniable advantages:

• Returns teeth to their natural light shade.
• Removes soft dental deposits 2 times more effectively.
• Helps get rid of stains and dark deposits on enamel, even eliminating traces of smoking and frequent coffee drinking.
• Due to massaging movements, it strengthens the gums, thereby preventing the development of gingivitis and periodontitis.
• The possibility of injury is eliminated - a special indicator notifies you of excessive pressure on the teeth with a brush.

Charge the toothbrush

How to use an electric toothbrush correctly? It is necessary to determine what type of device it is:

• battery operated;
• battery

In any situation, to use the product for its intended purpose, it must have sufficient charge. If the device runs on batteries, you need to change it as needed. This is easy to do if you have a spare AA battery.

The battery product must be charged first, and how this is done must be indicated in the instructions. Charging time is determined by the manufacturer and the specific model, but usually this procedure takes 12 hours. The completeness of charging is controlled by the indicator on the brush.

Devices manufactured by well-known companies (Braun, Oral-B) can be charged all the time, even when not in use, but this is usually inconvenient to do in the bathroom. It is advisable to charge the device once a week. The instructions for using an Oral-B electric toothbrush are the same as for other brands.

In progress

We saved money and bought not a fancy toothbrush of the latest model, but a simple PRO 500. How much did you lose and what did you gain?
Charging and autonomous operation. It takes 6 hours to charge the toothbrush until it is fully charged. In this case, without additional recharging, it will work for only 28 minutes. On the one hand, 28 minutes is not a lot, but if you take into account that for effective use you need to brush your teeth in the morning and evening for 2 minutes, it turns out that one full charge will be enough for exactly a week.

A week without recharging is a long time. Moreover, given that you can keep the toothbrush constantly on the charger, using it as a stand, you will not need to count the time at all and will never see the battery indicator light. The manufacturer still recommends periodically completely discharging and recharging the toothbrush to maintain the same efficiency and power.

Waterproof. The toothbrush itself and the stand are waterproof. The handle needs to be washed under running water after each use, but the charger only needs to be wiped when necessary. If a toothbrush or stand has broken its seal due to careless use, then such a device should absolutely not be used.

Nozzle. The kit includes a Cross Action attachment. Its bristles are located at an angle of 16 degrees, which ensures effective cleaning of the gum line and teeth from plaque.

Special blue bristles will remind you to replace the nozzle when they lose their original color. The PRO 500 toothbrush is compatible with all attachments in the Braun Oral-B range. The toothbrush uses 3D technology. Pulsating movements loosen plaque, and back-and-forth movements remove plaque and massage the gums, strengthening them.

Toothpaste. Another advantage of all electric toothbrushes is that they save on toothpaste. Thanks to the small nozzle and modern technology, a pea-sized amount of toothpaste is enough for effective cleaning.

Timer. The built-in timer allows you to brush your teeth for the optimal amount of time. According to dentists, you need to brush your teeth for 2 minutes. These are 4 zones of 30 seconds each. PRO 500 has a built-in sensor that prompts you to change position with a special vibration every 30 seconds. This will not only save time and prevent you from finishing the morning procedure ahead of time, but will also clearly regulate the number of uses based on the charge reserve.

Cleaning modes. The simpler the better. If in the evening you can still experiment with modes, special applications and other bells and whistles, then in the morning the owner of an electric toothbrush has no time for entertainment. A sleepy owner of an electric toothbrush with a strictly limited amount of time before going to work will be very glad that this toothbrush has only one mode of operation.

Pressure meter. The toothbrush does not have any built-in light indicator. But it has a touch pressure sensor. When you press firmly on your teeth or gums, the pulsating movements are automatically switched off. In practice, this can be felt, or rather heard, by the nature of the sound of the toothbrush.

• Wet the cleaning head under running water.

• Apply a pea-sized amount of toothpaste.

• Bring the toothbrush to your teeth and only then press the power button to prevent the toothpaste from scattering in different directions.

• Starting with the lower teeth, you need to bring the brush to each tooth, first to the outer surface, then to the inner.

• When you hear the timer signal, you must turn off the toothbrush without removing it from your mouth.

Feel. After using a regular toothbrush for a long time, switching to an electric one is very noticeable. A convenient timer tells you how to brush correctly, and 3D technology, combined with a professional brush head, cleans your teeth much more effectively. Your teeth will feel fresh and smooth for much longer.

After using a new brush for two weeks, brushing with a regular brush seems completely ineffective and insufficient. This model does not have a habituation mode, which gradually increases the cleaning power to the declared power over the first few uses. A few days of unusual vibration and tickling and you will get used to it.

During the first week, your gums may bleed due to strong pressure or out of habit. If after a week of brushing with a new brush the discomfort does not go away, you should contact your dentist. Electric toothbrushes or a particular brush head may not be right for you, or you may need additional gum treatment.

Wetting and applying paste

How to use an electric toothbrush once it is charged and ready to go? The villi should be moistened with water and the required amount of toothpaste should be applied. Its amount should be moderate. A pea-sized ball (5 mm in diameter) will be enough to cleanse the oral cavity.

If you use more paste, the device will generate abundant foam, which interferes with normal cleaning. If you use the product every day, dentists recommend choosing pastes with an abrasiveness index (RDA) of 40-50. However, many people do not know how often they can use an electric toothbrush. It can be used for regular care.

Brown Products

In collaboration with the Brown company, the Oral Bee brand has released a line of toothbrushes, which is positioned as a set of devices for professional cleaning of the oral cavity.

The cost of the device reaches 16 thousand rubles.

The video provides an overview of the Braun Oral B Genius 9000 device.

Is pressing required?

The cleaning process does not require special pressure, as this is harmful to the enamel. Even low power attachments operate at 4000 rpm. You just need to turn on the required mode: maximum or gentle cleaning.

Some modern models have sensors that control the pressure applied, as well as a timer that shows the time required to clean a segment of the dentition. Electronic “smart” devices are very convenient to use, but they are also expensive: the cost starts from 7-10 thousand rubles.

Cleaning the Exterior

This is the first step of instructions on how to use an electric toothbrush. You can start with the upper jaw, or you can start with the lower jaw. It's not that important. The cleaning head of the brush should be moved slowly from one tooth to another, pausing for 1-2 seconds on each one.

No movements should be made as the brush head is programmed with the desired rotation method. The brush should be held at a 45 degree angle.

Features of Oral Bee Brown electric toothbrushes

The production of toothbrushes under the brand name Oral-B began more than half a century ago.

Reference! Around the middle of 1950, Californian periodontist Robert Hutson carried out regular research on the effects of the hard bristles of conventional brushes on gum tissue.

Then he developed the first prototype with an increased number of thin nylon tufts . This significantly reduced the load on the product on tooth enamel and gums.

Much has changed since then , including equipping the product with a motor for more thorough and high-quality cleaning of the oral cavity. The peculiarity of the electrical device is vibration or rotation of the nozzle .

It cleans large areas in less time and can remove food particles even from hard-to-reach areas.

Today's Oral Bee electric brushes are manufactured in a wide range , including a group of products for children of different age categories.

Oral-B devices

The company produces conventional static models with an improved cleaning head design, electrical appliances with one or more replaceable nozzles , as well as products for children with special designs and characteristics.

Note! The operating principle of electric brushes is based on uniform pulsation, which causes the bristles or head to oscillate or move in a circular motion.

This increases the effectiveness of removing plaque from interdental spaces, the surface of teeth and mucous membranes of the tongue, and the oral cavity.

In collaboration with the brand and the Brown Corporation, a line of professional toothbrushes for adults was released .

Such products are distinguished by a high number of pulsations or rotational movements per unit of time, the presence of several modes of intensity of operation of devices, timers and sensors (depending on the model).

In addition to regular cleaning , the company produces electric brushes for whitening tooth enamel .

A separate category is represented by devices for children of different ages, starting from 3 years.

The main feature of these devices is the structure of the attachments and their movement, which corresponds to the anatomy of the child.

Keep in mind! Brushing your teeth is safe, effective and interesting, because in addition to high quality materials, assembly and functionality, children's models are made in the appropriate design.

Price segment and audience

Products are produced in different price categories, starting with reusable brushes with a service life of up to 2-3 months, ending with models designed for 2 years of operation .

However, with use, it is necessary to timely replace nozzles in “long-lasting” products.

Electrical appliances have a higher cost , which often starts at 2 thousand rubles.

Toothbrushes are designed for a very wide audience , both for ordinary people with a standard work schedule, and for business travelers or travelers.

There are entire series for children, from which you can choose the most suitable and attractive devices for your baby.

Quality of materials and workmanship, reliability of devices, service life

Know! To produce products, Procter & Gamble uses only environmentally friendly and proven materials, paying special attention to their hypoallergenicity.

The bristles do not contain latex or other substances that can cause negative reactions from the human body.

Assembly is carried out on high-precision equipment with testing of reliability and quality, functioning in various positions and conditions.

However, it is not recommended to completely immerse the device in water.

Each product has its own service life , which is confirmed by the company’s warranty.

Most often this is 24 months from the date of purchase of the product.

If damage during this period was not caused by the consumer, the company undertakes to replace or repair it at its own expense in numerous service centers throughout the country.

How good is the package?

In most cases, electric toothbrushes are sold complete with a product body and one or more brush heads.

Stay up to date! There are options for two bodies and several attachments, it all depends on the model and product line.

Additionally, the device comes with a charging base and a case for storage and isolation from bacteria from the environment.

Pros and Features

The main advantages that users highlight:

• in addition to devices for adults, models for children are produced taking into account the structure and size of their jaw;
• Brushing your teeth takes up to 2 minutes thanks to the intense pulsation of the nozzle;
• Due to various sensors and timers, the suitability of the cleaning elements, the intensity of pressure, and the duration of the hygienic event can be easily monitored ;
• Thanks to the ability to change attachments, different family members can use the device .

Minuses

Need to know! Despite the many advantages and positive characteristics of the product, there are still some negative nuances:

• the cost of the device is often quite high, which not every consumer can afford;
• even with a service life of 2 years, regular replacement of cleaning heads is required , which also implies additional costs;
• It is not always possible to select the optimal configuration in accordance with the color or design of the device.

Brush position

When learning how to use an Oral Bee electric toothbrush, you should be aware of the following:

• horizontal – while cleaning the external, internal, chewing parts;
• vertical – when cleaning central teeth.

In simpler and less expensive products, the nozzle can rotate in only one direction. Expensive designs use modern 2 or 3D technologies. The last two types qualitatively clean teeth outside and inside, eliminating plaque, which no toothpastes can cope with.

Rules for choosing an electric brush

To choose the ideal teeth cleaning device in the store, you need to consider several important parameters:

• The diameter of the cleaning surface should be approximately 1.5 cm. This is the most optimal size to properly clean hard-to-reach places.
• The brush handle should be comfortable. To prevent the device from slipping in your hands, preference should be given to models with a rubberized surface.
• The stiffness of the bristles should be medium. According to leading dentists, such bristles effectively remove plaque, but at the same time carefully clean the enamel and do not destroy it.

It is worth considering in advance that using an electric brush leads to additional costs. For example, devices powered by batteries are inexpensive. At the same time, they need to periodically buy new batteries. You should also consider how the device will be stored, as well as where to keep additional attachments. Some models have special cases and covers for this, allowing you to take the device with you on a trip.

Operating modes

For users with problematic oral cavity, it is recommended to purchase an electric device for cleaning teeth with the ability to change the operating mode. Typically the following options are required:

• To make tooth enamel a little lighter, use a different brush head with a special direction of the bristles and the ability to clean at a different speed.
• If the enamel is thin and the teeth are overly sensitive, it is better to use a gentle brushing mode.
• The massage mode reduces bleeding and reduces inflammation.
• The habituation mode allows you to reduce the intensity of the discomfort that some people experience due to vibration. In this case, the head rotation speed is reduced or the duration of the cleaning session is reduced.
• The floss-active mode allows you to better clean the gap between the teeth.

Additional options

One of the popular additional options that every smart brush has is a timer, with which you can easily control the duration of brushing. The sound produced by the timer signals when you can move to another part of the jaw or complete the procedure. With such a signal, the enamel is not subject to unnecessary abrasion. A pressure sensor solves a similar problem. It is used to control the force of the bristles on the teeth. Therefore, when brushing your teeth with an electric device, you should not put additional pressure on the brush to prevent the enamel from being destroyed. If the device determines that the pressure is excessive, a sound is heard, a light signal is given, or the brush stops working.

Modern models have a special indicator that signals that it is time to change the cleaning head or recharge the battery.

After familiarizing yourself with all the possible additional functions, you should determine the highest priority ones and select the device in accordance with these criteria. Before purchasing an electric toothbrush, it is recommended to consult with a dentist and find out about your oral health, as well as the possibility of using such a device.

Choosing a brush for a child

If the device is needed to clean children's teeth, then you need to take into account that additional attachments will be needed, as well as the ability to change the mode for children of different ages. It would be good if such a brush is additionally equipped with an attachment for delicate cleansing.

A melodious sound signal will help maintain your child's interest in oral hygiene. To make it comfortable for a child to hold the device in his hand, there must be an ergonomic short handle with a rubberized surface. An electric brush keeps your baby interested in the hygiene procedure and turns regular teeth brushing into an interesting game.

Dentists advise children to buy a brush only from the age of eight, so as not to damage weak tooth enamel. Before doing this, it is recommended to consult with your dentist about the possibility of using such a device.

Contraindications

Who should not use an electric toothbrush? It should not be used if:

• weak gums, inflammation;
• acute inflammatory processes in the oral cavity;
• low density, increased abrasion of tooth enamel;
• the presence of wedge-shaped defects or white spots on the enamel;
• presence of dentures, crowns, implants;
• pregnancy and heart disease (in this case, caution must be exercised).

Before using the device, it is advisable to consult a dentist. Can children use an electric toothbrush? It is allowed to be used, but you need to choose an age-appropriate device. According to reviews, it is convenient to use for children and adults.

Even with regular use of the brush, it is necessary to periodically (at least 1-2 times a week) alternate it with the standard one. Dentists advise doing this to reduce the load on the enamel. Such devices significantly simplify the cleaning procedure, save time, and proper use significantly improves the appearance of teeth and increases their lifespan.

Oral-B Stages Power

Oral-B Stages Power brushes are designed specifically for children - bright images of cartoon characters and a built-in speaker that plays different melodies will interest any child. This device for oral hygiene was created taking into account the anatomical and physiological characteristics of primary teeth - the bristles are soft enough not to injure the delicate mucous membrane, and at the same time dense to completely remove soft deposits from all sides of the tooth.

Oral-B Stages Power toothbrushes are approved for use by children over 3 years of age. Especially for parents, there are special indicators on the bristles that help them understand the need to change the nozzle - due to this, the effectiveness of brushing teeth is maintained. The built-in timer will be useful for those children who are too lazy to clean their mouth for a long time - it will help to track how much the child has used the brush.

The battery provides at least 20 minutes of operation time for the device, so it can be charged once every 5 days, provided it is used twice a day. Replaceable attachments are produced with a variety of famous cartoon characters - princesses, Mickey Mouse, Star Wars and others.
