You can get a perfectly functional brush for a lot less but still gain many of the benefits, notably the Pro 3 3500. KEY FEATURES• Position Detection technology helps you know where you've brushed so you never miss a zone The 8000 along with the slightly more premium 9000 is the best of what is available in consumer toothbrushes from Oral-B, at the time of review. One thing to note about the rechargeable models is that they work with a variety of snap-on toothbrush heads, so you can choose the one you prefer.

Oral-B is perhaps the most widely recognised and promoted brand within this space and ultimately they have the share that they do, due to producing good products that people are happy to use. The words from the Oral-B manual are “You can always store the handle on the plugged-in charging unit to maintain it at full power; a battery overcharge is prevented by device”. The app is deeper and more intelligent too. You can customise the brush and personal goals through the app gaining more suitable tips and advice along with product suggestions. For example, if you wish to whiten your teeth the app will advise and amend your routine to achieve the goal. You can choose from the Fresh Breath Gum Health, Plaque FIghter, Whitening and Ortho Care journeys.

To date, the maximum battery life from an Oral-B brush that I am aware of, has been up to 10 days or 20 cleans or put another way, 40 minutes of usage time. The connection and transfer is fairly reliable and I have yet to run into any real problems. Here's agallery of screenshots from the app for those that are interested: The author of this article is Dr. Chhaya Chauhan, who has specialist training to help patients with a dental phobia. There is also the 2 pin charger that connects to the travel case. This supports 100-240v and may also require an adapter to connect to certain power outlets. To be clear: “Both manual and powered toothbrushes can effectively and thoroughly clean teeth,” says Ada S. Cooper, D.D.S, a New York City-based dentist and consumer advisor of the American Dental Association (ADA). But here’s the catch: If you’re using a manual toothbrush, you’re also responsible for doing all the work. In general, that means holding the toothbrush at a 45-degree angle while brushing the gum line and brushing the outer, inner, and surfaces of your teeth with gentle pressure for two minutes.After spending 12 years in consumer technology, it was in 2014 that he focused his attention on dental health, having experienced first-hand the challenge of choosing a new toothbrush. When power is low the battery status icon will flash and you will likely feel the decrease in brush power. When depleted completely the motor will power down and the battery icon flash red. To get going and start using the brush you need to press the power button (the one at the top) and to turn it off for 2 seconds to turn the brush off. The button requires a firm push, meaning it is difficult to accidentally power on or off. The compact component is powered by 2 AA batteries it could sit on a shelf or attach to a wall with an adhesive pad. It does nothing more than what the app does, but I believe a very convenient solution to encourage better cleaning when the app is not in use. Sadly it is not included with the Genius. Understandable because the app is there, but as you will discover, its another option to the not always practical app.
