A sonic or ultrasonic toothbrush, which is more likely to have a standard-shaped head, pulses tens of thousands of times per minute to break down and dislodge plaque, bacteria and debris.
The Series 9 has full 3D tracking for your cleaning performance, monitoring 16 zones rather than the 6 of the iO7. If you are undergoing treatment for any oral care condition, consult your dental professional prior to use. Whereas regular electric toothbrushes are destined to spend most of their existence in a landfill, Suri aims to be the world’s most sustainable electric toothbrush, by using parts that are more easily recycled or repaired. If memory serves me correctly, the pouch case will hold the handle, heads (in their own case) and the charger. In this guide we’re going to run through our pick of the best of the brand’s line-up and explain some of the differences between the different models, so that you make the right choice.But you will need to change the heads more frequently – the general advice is at least every three months. While the rest of the iO series is defined by the little digital display adorning the handle (and that buzzword, “artificial intelligence”) the iO4 pares things back to basics with a simple power button for switching between modes. It also gives an excellent clean, with a choice of six brush modes and three brush heads – CrossAction, 3D White and Sensitive – to cover a wide range of dental needs.
It certainly isn’t something that is to everyone’s preference and I know many like the softer sensation that sonic toothbrushes deliver. Also, the whole arm moves not just the brush head/bristles like Oral-B, and the arm is so worn out that it won’t hold a charge because it’s overworking to compensate. You have 6 LEDs and a clock on the front to help encourage even brushing and good coverage of your teeth as you brush. We then divide this figure by the four minutes per day recommended by dentists to get an accurate idea of how many weeks and days a single charge should last.The iO10’s pacer is often set to 20 second (sextant) intervals compared to the 30 second (quadrant) intervals of the iO9. It’s now unusual to get an old-school NiMH battery that runs out in less than two weeks and takes most of a day to charge, but they still exist. Despite this the iO4 retains the most essential smarts of the more expensive brushes, with an LED pressure warning, the usual buzzing timers and accompanying app which lets you choose one of four brushing modes.
After all, we would all like squeaky clean teeth and a whiter smile – and absolutely no-one enjoys fillings or root canal surgery. The Series 6 also has the same five cleaning modes as the Series 7, the same pressure sensors and the same AI-powered smart tracking features. This is another feature that both my daughter and I agree is something we really like about the brush and is particularly important for kids, to teach them good brushing habits and let them know exactly how much pressure they should be applying. The lack of an accompanying “smart” app means you can happily watch TikToks on your phone while you brush, too, like normal people.Based on the number of reviews that mention the camera it would imply it is a version of the Genius Pro 8000/9600 which uses the front facing camera on your smartphone to track the position of the toothbrush. The battery is expected to last around two weeks between charges, and in my experience, you should be good for several days more. As a toothbrush, though, the Oclean is a real contender; it’s quiet but surprisingly powerful, working effectively along the gumline and doing a fine job of keeping the teeth feeling fresh and clean. All the same, while the action feels a little rough and rattly in comparison to the brand’s more expensive models, it still gives your gnashers a thorough clean, which you can tailor by switching out the CrossAction brush head for a Sensitive or Precision Clean head. Even more important than the type of brush you use is practicing good dental hygiene habits: brushing regularly and for the dentist-recommended two minutes, reaching all parts of the mouth, and flossing.
It has benefits (more on those below) and offers at a glance feedback without a smartphone, but the app provides more meaningful data. So, the motor not only powers the bristle rotation, but also uses some of that energy to vibrate the brush head at the same time. Brushing modes – Some brushes, often those that are more expensive, come with a range of brushing modes, which are designed to tailor your electronic toothbrush to your cleaning needs, for example, if you have sensitive teeth, you can opt for a more gentle setting. It’s not a whole lot cheaper than the iO Series 4, which comes with all the smartbrush mod-cons, but why pay extra if these are features that you’re not going to use?
The brush head clamps firmly on top of a sturdy plastic column in the centre of the angled mounting, where you’ll also find the pressure sensor indicator, which glows red when you brush too hard, a gentle white when you brush too lightly and green when you’ve got the pressure just right.
