Oral-B iO Ultimate Clean Electric Toothbrush Head, Twisted & Angled Bristles for Deeper Plaque Removal, Pack of 4 Toothbrush Heads, Black

Product Information

The pressure sensor is also not a particularly novel feature, although the iO brings a new twist to it. Using the light ring around the handle, it not only tells you if you're applying too much pressure (red) but also if you're not applying enough (white). You're aiming for green, which shows you're doing it just right. There is no one thing about the iO that really justifies the price tag, but when you add it all up: the micro-vibration technology, the smoother clean, the quiet motor, decent battery, LED display… you end up with a toothbrush that's fun to use and leaves your teeth feeling great.

This is not a completely novel idea; the Oral-B Genius X and Sonicare DiamondClean Smart both offer similar technology. There is currently no Oral-B iO series 10, and a release date isn't set for a model with this name. At the moment, available series models are the iO series 6, 7, 8 and 9. Is the Oral-B iO toothbrush worth it?

If you use the more intense brushing modes, brush for longer, or share it with other members of your household, then of course this will reduce. In any case, it's bound to be an improvement on any other Oral-B toothbrush you own. Sensitive Clean: for a gentle clean, comes with ultra-thin bristles that are tough on plaque but gentle on gums For optimal results, we recommend you change your brush head every 3 months, after you have been ill or when the bristles become worn.

A timer shows how long you've been brushing for, although it's hard to view this without stopping and taking the brush out of your mouth. After each brushing session, remove the brush head and thoroughly rinse both the brush head and the handle under running water. Interspace: to be used on top of your daily brush head, for deep clean in hard-to-reach areas and healthier* gums The idea is that all of this technology in the iO trains you to brush your teeth more effectively. Over time, you should see your score improve.iO Ultimate Clean: tuft-in-tuft structure with 16 degree-angle bristles remove up to 100% more plaque for cleaner teeth and healthier gums* The way the motor delivers power makes it feel gentler than previous models, too. Not in a less effective way, but certainly less aggressive. Timer and pressure sensor When comparing the iO7, 8 and 9, it seems worth paying the extra for the top model, as long as you've found it with a decent discount.
