o 1950: It all started with a dentist, who created the first Oral-B toothbrush and its soft, end-rounded nylon bristles. Dr. Robert Hutson, a California periodontist, designed and patented the first Oral-B toothbrush. He also created the Oral-B brand name. "The first product was known as the Oral-B 60," said Dr. Hutson, "because it had 60 tufts."

o 1984: Oral-B is acquired by The Gillette Company. Braun introduces the first power toothbrush to combine vertical and horizontal movements, a simulation of the dentist-recommended Bass brushing method. The D3 was successful in highly developed European oral care markets like Denmark, Finland, Holland, and Germany.

o 1991: The Oral-B Indicator® introduces the first-ever fading bristles with patented technology: The bristles fade with use, thereby signaling the consumer when to change his/her toothbrush. The company won a first-place Edison Award for product innovation for the Indicator® toothbrush.

o 1998: This year sees the launch of three major new products, one in each core business segment: manual toothbrushes, power toothbrushes, and dental floss.

STEP 1 Make sure your toothbrush is charged. Many electric toothbrushes have charge level indicator lights, so you can actually see when the toothbrush is charged.

STEP 2 Apply toothpaste to the brush head. To avoid splashing, guide the brush head to your teeth before switching on the brush

STEP 3 Start with the outside surfaces of the teeth. Guide the brush head slowly from tooth to tooth, holding the brush head in place for a few seconds against each tooth before moving on to the next one. Follow along with the shape of each tooth and the curve of the gums.

Repeat Step 3 on the inside surfaces of the teeth.

Repeat Step 3 on the chewing surfaces of the teeth as well as behind the back teeth.

Direct the brush head along the gum line and upon the gums. Again, do not press hard or scrub.

Try grazing the brush head along your tongue and the roof of your mouth, back to front, to help freshen your breath.

Remember, when using a rechargeable electric toothbrush, it isn't necessary to press hard or scrub. Simply guide the brush while it provides the brushing action. In fact, some Oral-B electric toothbrushes have pressure sensors that alert you when you’re brushing too hard.

• To brush your teeth correctly, be sure to spend at least two minutes using the technique above, brushing each section of your mouth for 30 seconds (upper right, upper left, lower right and lower left), both morning and night. Most Oral-B rechargeable electric toothbrushes have built-in two-minute timers, and some even have professional timers that parse out 30 seconds for each quadrant to help you keep track.
• For best results, dentists recommend replacing the brush head on your toothbrush every three months.

How To Brush With An Oral-B iO

• Improving your oral hygiene goes hand-in-hand with a healthy mouth. Small changes in your oral care routine can improve your dental health.
  • The effects of poor oral hygiene range from tooth decay and cavities to gingivitis, periodontitis, and tooth loss. Fortunately, proper oral hygiene, including cleaning teeth correctly and regularly, can prevent most of these problems.
  • Don’t forget that most dental plans cover at least one, and sometimes two, checkups and cleanings per year at little or no cost to you. It’s better to make and keep those appointments, even if you don’t think you have problems with your teeth or oral hygiene, in order to identify and manage potential problems before costly care is required.
• Keep your teeth clean and cavity-free by following a regular dental care routine of twice-daily tooth brushing and daily flossing. And visit your dental professional at least once a year for a professional cleaning and assessment to catch any problems before they become serious.
  • Limit Soda, Coffee and Alcohol
  • Although these beverages contain a high level of phosphorous, which is a necessary mineral for a healthy mouth, too much phosphorous can deplete the body's level of calcium. This causes dental hygiene problems such as tooth decay and gum disease. Beverages containing additives such as corn syrup and food dye can make pearly white teeth appear dull and discolored. Therefore, it is best to choose beverages like milk, which helps strengthen teeth and build stronger enamel, giving you a healthy, beautiful smile.
  • If bottled water is your main source of drinking water, you could be missing the decay-preventive benefits of fluoride.
  • Despite their popularity, low-carb diets can cause bad breath. A balanced, dental-healthy diet can help reduce tooth decay.
  • After age 20, both men and women lose more bone mass than they form so it is important to restore lost calcium with a daily supplement and by eating fruits and vegetables high in calcium, such as dark leafy greens.

• Bad breath, or halitosis, is mainly caused by the buildup of bacteria in the mouth, which produces a foul smell. Bad breath can be embarrassing, but fortunately once you have identified the causes, you can begin treatment.

Tobacco use. If you smoke, quit. Your bad breath may be due to other causes, too, but tobacco use is a guarantee of bad breath. If you are ready to quit, ask your doctor or dentist for advice and support.

What you eat, or don't eat. Certain foods, such as garlic, contribute to bad breath, but only temporarily. Once they are absorbed into the bloodstream, the smell is expelled through the breath, but the odors remain until the body processes the food, so there’s no quick fix.

Dry mouth. If your mouth is extremely dry, there is not enough saliva to wash away excess food particles and bacteria, which can cause an unpleasant smell if they build up on the teeth.

On rare occasions, bad breath can be a sign of a more serious medical condition so it’s important not to ignore the problem and to see a dental professional if the problem persists.

• Cavities and Tooth Decay is one of the most common and widespread persistent diseases today and is also one of the most preventable.

Brushing regularly with an electric toothbrush can help prevent tooth loss by more effectively removing the plaque bacteria that can lead to tooth decay.

Keep up with regular dental checkups in order to identify pre-existing conditions before they lead to more serious issues down the road.

Flossing regularly after brushing especially if you’re frequently eating or drinking sugary foods or drinks. Flossing once or twice a day with Crest Pro-Health products can help you remove food particles from between the hard-to-reach areas of your teeth you might be missing.

• Dry Mouth is a daily problem that makes you feel uncomfortable while you swallow, eat or speak. It is a condition in which you do not produce enough saliva (spit) to keep your mouth feeling wet.

Stress and anxiety can contribute to dry mouth, as can the medications you might take for them. It is important to communicate with your dental professional about issues concerning your overall health because anything that increases your risk for dry mouth also increases your risk for gum disease.

Medications are a major cause of dry mouth. In fact, medications cause approximately 90 percent of all cases of dry mouth, according to the Academy of General Dentistry. You may not be able to discontinue your medication, but you should keep your dentist informed when something in your overall health changes and you start taking medication. For example, antidepressants, antihistamines, anti-inflammatories and anti-hypertensive medications are just some of the many types of drugs that can contribute to a dry mouth.

A variety of conditions can cause dry mouth, also known as xerostomia, including the following:

Cancer treatments: If you have any type of cancer of the head or neck and you receive radiation therapy, dry mouth is a common side effect because the radiation damages the salivary glands in addition to destroying the cancer. Some medications used to treat cancer in any part of the body can also cause dry mouth.

Prescription medications: Hundreds of common medications, including many antidepressants and medications for high blood pressure, can contribute to a dry mouth. If you take medications that seem to make your mouth feel dry, be especially vigilant about tooth brushing and proper flossing.

Chronic illness: Diabetes, HIV/AIDS, and Parkinson’s disease are among the diseases that can contribute to a chronic dry mouth. Some older people suffer from Sjogren’s Syndrome, an autoimmune disease characterized by extremely dry eyes and a dry mouth.

Drug use: Methamphetamines have been associated with dry mouth.

• Plaque and Tartar: Removing plaque at home on a daily basis lessens your chances of tartar buildup and experiencing more serious dental problems such as cavities, gingivitis, and bad breath. Healthy dental habits, such as brushing for two minutes twice daily and flossing after every brush, can help you prevent the harmful effects of plaque buildup. If you have kids, remember: It’s never too early to help them learn good oral care.
• Tooth Sensitivity: People who suffer from tooth sensitivity avoid daily activities such as consuming hot or cold foods and beverages as well as brushing their teeth. These simple activities cause tooth sensitivity sufferers to live in constant fear of severe pain. Sensitivity occurs when the dentin, a porous tissue in your teeth, becomes exposed. The dentin has microscopic channels, called tubules, which are pathways to the nerve. When dentinal tubules are exposed, due to receding gum tissue or enamel loss, nerves are more easily triggered by certain stimuli causing tooth sensitivity.

Causes

Overzealous brushing: You can have too much of a good thing. Brushing your teeth with too much force, or with a hard-bristle toothbrush, may wear down tooth enamel, expose the cementum or dentin and cause tooth sensitivity. 

Tooth grinding: Grinding your teeth can cause the enamel to wear away and leave the dentin exposed.

Gum disease: Inflamed gum tissue pulls away from the tooth, leaving vulnerable areas exposed.

The Oral-B iO toothbrushes are equipped with pressure sensors to let you know if you’re using too much force and will use a light or sound to let you know if you’re brushing too hard. Oral-B’s best models have a Smart Pressure Sensor that will automatically slow down the rotating speed if you are brushing too hard to help protect your gums and enamel. The sensor displays red when you're brushing too hard, white when brushing too light, and green when you're applying the optimal pressure. This feature ensures effective cleaning while preventing potential damage to your teeth and gums.

After each use, rinse the brush head thoroughly under running water to remove toothpaste and debris. Detach the brush head from the handle and clean both parts separately. Turn the brush on Daily Clean or Intense Cleaning mode (brushing modes will vary by handle) and ensure water runs inside the top of the handle and inside the brush head. Tap the brush head and handle to remove excess water, wipe all parts dry and allow to air dry before reassembling.

Yes, there are many clinical studies showing the benefits of Oral-B toothbrushes on plaque reduction and gum health improvement. Most recently, A comprehensive investigation was undertaken to compare the efficacy of oscillating-rotating, sonic and manual toothbrushes in reducing gingivitis and plaque in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with up to six months’ follow-up. Twenty-six randomized clinical trials were analyzed across three continents and found that Oral-B iO was by far the best toothbrush for plaque reduction, gum health improvement and transition to gum health compared to manual and sonic toothbrushes.

• Plaque Removal
  • Oscillating toothbrushes: Studies show they are more effective at removing plaque, particularly in hard-to-reach areas. Oscillating or rotating movements allow the bristles to clean more thoroughly around the gumline, where plaque tends to accumulate and cause gum disease.
  • Manual toothbrushes: While effective when used correctly, they rely heavily on proper technique, which can vary among users.
• Reducing Gingivitis
  • Oscillating toothbrushes: Regular use can reduce signs of gingivitis more effectively. The consistent, automatic motion of the brush ensures a uniform cleaning action, which is critical for gum health.
  • Manual toothbrushes: Can reduce gingivitis if used correctly but require more effort and precision to match the results of an oscillating toothbrush.
• Ease of Use
  • Oscillating toothbrushes: Require less physical effort and are easier to use for individuals with limited manual dexterity, making them better suited for maintaining gum health over time.
  • Manual toothbrushes: Require users to manually scrub with the correct pressure and motion, which can be challenging for some people to sustain effectively.
• Pressure Control
  • Oscillating toothbrushes: Many models come with pressure sensors to prevent excessive force, which can damage gums and lead to recession.
  • Manual toothbrushes: Overbrushing with too much pressure is a common issue that can harm gums if not monitored.
• Habit Formation
  • Oscillating toothbrushes: The built-in timers on many models encourage users to brush for the recommended two minutes, ensuring consistent and thorough cleaning.
  • Manual toothbrushes: Users may rush or brush unevenly, leading to missed spots, especially along the gumline.

Was this answer helpful?

Yes, oscillating toothbrushes are excellent for gum health when used correctly. They effectively remove plaque, protect against early signs of gum disease, and are gentle on the gums when paired with the right brush head and pressure settings.

Oral-B Rechargeable

• Gently pull the brush head away from your handle.
• Sometimes toothpaste can build up under the brush head and solidify to quite a tight bond. It can even cause part of the inside of the brush head to break off when trying to remove it, leaving a piece behind on the metal shaft. 

• To remove a brush head that's stuck on your toothbrush, try running the toothbrush’s top section under warm water for at least ten seconds. Then, see if you can pull it off. You might have to give it quite a forceful tug, but it should come right off. 
• Once you remove the brush head, check to see if there's any material stuck to the metal shaft. If so, follow the same process of running warm water over it for at least 10 seconds then pulling it off.

Oral B Battery Brush

• Place the QuickRelease tool (included in the brush head package) on the neck of the toothbrush and press, then slide the brush head off.
• Lay the new replacement brush head parallel to the neck of the toothbrush, then slide the head towards the handle until it lock clicks into place. Check that the brush head is firmly attached. Do not insert the brush head at an angle.

• Please know we understand this is unsightly, but it is likely a buildup from regular use, especially if you use an abrasive toothpaste.
• Even if rinsed after each use, residual toothpaste can harden over time and form a black, brown, orange/tan, pink or grey, chalk-like coating on the metal shaft of the handle, the rubber, or in the joints and other places including on the charger.
• o Toothpaste and/or water may also collect on the brush head, handle or on the surface of the charger, leaving a residue.
• For the proper steps to clean your brush and help avoid build up, check out Cleaning

Follow these steps to ensure a clean brush every time, and watch the tutorial Here

1. After brushing, thoroughly rinse the brush head while the toothbrush is switched on to minimize toothpaste residue remaining on the brush between uses.
2. After rinsing, switch the brush off, remove the brush head from the handle, and clean both parts separately under running water. Wipe them dry, and if possible continue to let them fully air dry, before reassembling.
3. When putting the brush head and handle back together, ensure the brush head is pushed fully onto the handle so there is no gap.
4. If necessary, it is OK to use a mild detergent/cleanser and water to clean the outside of the handle.
5. To clean the charger, unplug it, wipe with a damp cloth then let the unit dry before you use it.

Why didn't the Oral-B App record my brushing session?

• To get your brushing session recorded, please tap “done” after your teeth brushing session, close the results summary screen and do tongue cleaning as a separate step.
• If you brushed for less than 30 seconds, it will not count as a session.
• For some brushes, this can happen when you move to tongue cleaning right after the brushing session. The tongue cleaning mode is not a teeth cleaning mode and the app is not able to differentiate the two sessions. The app stores just the last of the two sessions and this might be none if tongue cleaning was shorter than 30 seconds. Please be sure to upgrade your app to the newest release to resolve this issue.
• If you brush after midnight, but before 3 a.m., it counts for the previous day. However, if you're going to bed late and your nighttime brushing session occurs after 3 a.m., it will count for that actual day (the app thinks it's a morning brushing session).
• You might have had connectivity issues and a session wasn’t recorded in the app directly. Your brushing date, time, and duration will still be stored on your brush and synced with the app the next time you are connected. Only your reminder data for rinsing, tongue cleaning, and flossing of that session will be lost. Those are not stored on the handle.
• Please know that currently there is no way to manually add brushing, rinsing, flossing, or tongue cleaning actions to the app. Our app developers are considering this for possible improvements in the future.

Individual sessions can be deleted via the history screen: Just swipe them away (swipe to the left or right). It is not possible to delete all brushing sessions at once unless uninstalling and reinstalling the app. However, once you open the app and connect to your brush, the app will sync with the latest sessions stored on your handle. While brushing sessions on the handle are overwritten with new sessions, they cannot be erased from the handle. If you want to delete everything and not use the app any longer, please uninstall the app.

After 3 months of normal use, toothbrush bristles can become worn down and lose their original alignment, as well as accumulating residue and debris. Dentists recommend changing your toothbrush every 3 months or sooner if the bristles look frayed because worn-out bristles will not clean as well. Several Oral-B brush heads feature indicator bristles to help track replacement time so you can better maximize your oral health.

You can set a reminder in your Oral-B app to replace your brush head. You can go to More > Your refill brush head and add the date you've start using the brush head.

The app will show the number of days your brush head is, the minutes you have brushed with your brush head and the date it needs to be replaced.

In case you use more than one brush head or share your handle, you will be able to snooze the refill reminder alarm to adjust to your habits. You snooze the refill reminder pressing the "Later" button when reminded. The reminder comes up maximum of 8 times during about 2 months (depending on the use) and will then stay inactive. Another way to double the time to compensate for the use of 2 refills would be to press the "Switched" button when reminded the first time and use current refills for one more period (on average 6 months or 2 refills for single user or 2x90 days for duo users).

If you have used your brush initially without the app - the app reads your historical brushing data from your brush handle. In some cases, this includes by mistake theoretical brushing sessions linked to the brush's production date which can be a couple of months before you bought your brush. You can easily delete (swipe off) these single entries or just ignore them. Once the App is synced with the handle it will start displaying the correct times for future brushing sessions.

To initiate syncing pro-actively the following steps can be followed:
Start the app.

Navigate to the More > Toothbrush.

The app also syncs in the background if your mobile device is within Bluetooth-reach of the toothbrush and the Oral-B App is still active in the background. The background sync function and its notifications can be turned off via the app Settings.
