Very helpful. I just bought an Oral B Smart 5500. This video was much more clearer than the instructions that came with the toothbrush.
Best info here! Wish the booklet that came with the oral B explained how to identify the cleaning modea
Thank you very much for these detailed explanations. Oral B owes you for this. Their instruction sheet that comes with the brush is vague.
This is such an informative video! Thanks for creating it. No confusion of what each mode does after watching this^^ Thanks again!🙃
Thank you sooo much for your valuable review.
This video is a massive help thanks
Just got the 5000 model thanks for the help!
Great overview! Thanks
I appreciate this message it explained alot to me .
Great detailed information Thanks for your efforts
No problem. Glad you found it useful.
Thank you for this informative video and you are certainly correct, Oral B does not do a good job of explaining the various models & features. And Amazon is worse. I'm looking to buy my first electric toothbrush and your video was very helpful.
I prefer the pro clean mode. Since I started using an electric oral b I find it difficult to do a decent job in only two minutes including cleaning your tongue. I also like the fact that the toothbrush does not shut off after 2min in case you are not completely finished.
Do you clean your tongue with the brush on? If so you’re the mvp, I could never
@@ht8038My toothbrush has a mode specifically for tongue cleaning, to get the most thorough clean with it, I end up nearly gagging on the brush head to get the very back of my tongue.
Thank you so much for the video
You failed to mention that the whitening mode operates on a sinus curve mode: the speed goes up and down and it's supposed to be more effective.
Whitening mode also makes teeth look cleaner.
Jon another great informative video! I have this silly notion if I use sensitive mode with a gentle care brush head that the brush will not be as effective in cleaning my teeth as if it was in daily clean mode with a ultimate clean head.
Thanks Steve. I see the logic and to be honest there is a valid argument here. The brush motor is slower, so less movements, equals less passes over the teeth and gums, thus less plaque removal. However, an electric toothbrush is moving many times quicker than a manual brush and with more consistency so you are going to be getting a very good clean, irrespective of which mode you choose. A manual brush, used correctly is perfectly adequate and you can have a very healthy mouth. So, with the increased movements of electric, you are going to be getting even better results. The main thing is to brush regularly, with the correct technique for the right time. Many millions of people don't do this, so you are much further ahead in many respects!
Very good, thank you.
Really good information. I have just got my first electric toothbrush and feel much happier now you have explained how to use it properly. I have a bridge so bit unsure which mode to use around it? x
Hi Jennifer. Glad it helped. You can use any of the modes with the bridge. No need for a special mode, electric brushes as safe to be used on a bridge.
Pain will still pernitrate to individuals that grow their wisdom teeth in properly. So while growing Wisdom teeth a user should use Sensitive or Gum Care mode. Sensitive mode: Will give a more gentler brushing actions. Gum Care mode: Can be used at the areas where the wisdom teeth will form. Therefore the vibrartion will help reduce the pain at the area the wisdom teeth will erupt.
Hey there, thanks for the videos, they have been greatly helpful. A question, are you suppoused to apply pressure till the ring is green in Gum Care mode? My guess is no pressure, but i havent found any note on that. Thanks in advance.
If you have an Oral-B iO toothbrush, where the light turns green when you apply the correct pressure, then yes. Non-iO models don't turn the light ring green. If you are new to an electric toothbrush or your gums are particularly sensitive then don't push too hard and you don't have to get to the point the light ring turns green. Better to start off slightly more gently and get yourself and gums used to the pressure.
@@ElectricTeeth Perfect, thank you so much!!
In the settings of the Oral b app, will display Intense mode, instead of pro clean mode. Inside my Oral b Genius X.
Hi, thanks for breaking down the different Oral-B cleaning modes! But looks like you forgot about the Super Sensitive and Intense Clean Mode which appear on the IO Series.
Thanks. This video was uploaded in September 2020, just around the time the iO Series began shipping, hence not being included as the brushes didn't really exist at the time of recording. So yes, they are missing from the video but in all reality, they are very similar to other modes. Super sensitive is essentially a lesser powered Sensitive mode and Intense is like Pro Clean. The iO Series has been entirely redesigned and uses a different motor within the handle in comparison to most other Oral-B electric toothbrushes. It has a frictionless magnetic motor. Fundamentally this still allows the iO series to clean the teeth as well as any other model. But, the way the brush head delivers the movements is slightly different. The way the cleaning action is measured is significantly different too. The brush head still has an oscillating, rotating and pulsating action, however rather than being measured by a number of movements per minute it is now measures based on the oscillation angle.
oral b pro 7 or 8000 series is where it's at. i've been using the oral b since 2006 and it's the best electric brush in my opinion. I need the deep clean and seems violently nice. Once I stopped using the fluoride garbage that damaged my teeth for years, my tooth stains were removed and not a single cavity in 3 years. So the braun is best but only when you put the right stuff on the tip of it.
Which toothpaste do you use?
@@TM-rn9ye primal life organics colloidal silver and non fluoride b.s.
Thank you! This was very informative!
Why are the pulsations so variable in daily clean vs pro clean? is it because of the brush model or really in the pro would be the best cleaning because it oscillates and pulsates more ? I have a genius x and i love this model :) Great contents in your channel, congratulations.
Fabio. Great question. The variance is down to the model used. The Daily Clean mode is on all Oral-B brushes. These have different motors. The quoted figures cover a range of different models. Therefore the Genius X is going to be offering more pulsations than most as it is a premium model with a more powerful motor. Daily Clean is perfectly fine to use. The Pro Clean mode lasts for 3 minutes. You can use this if you prefer.
Electric Teeth Sensitive mode is good for those who are trying to grow their 3rd molars and have some pain. Daily Clean, Deep clean/ProClean, and Intense modes might cause pain in the back of the mouth. So it's be to use Sensitive mode until 3rd molars have erupted.
get the book holistic dental care by nadine artemis she recommends the oral b round bruth her book changed the health of my mouth and teeth with simple home made toothpaste a simple celtic salt rinse my teeth are soo white now. only 8 days in this new dental routine thought i bought the oral b but apparantly not yet doing that now
Thanks for making this video, Jon. I've just bought the iO Series 3. Do you know how I can tell the difference between the Daily Clean, Sensitive and Whiten modes, in the absence of icons? Thanks!
Hi Katherine. I am afraid there is no way of telling the difference between these modes other than just learning the different sounds the brush makes.
@@ElectricTeeth Thanks for replying so quickly. Just wondering if you know/would be able to describe the differences between the 3 sounds.
@@ElectricTeeth To be more precise, I can tell there’s differences, but I don’t know which sound corresponds with each mode. Hope that makes sense!
I can't really explain it other than: 1st mode - Daily Clean - A constant whirring sound. 2nd mode - Sensitive - Like Daily Clean in that it is a constant sound, but it is quieter/less intensely pitched than daily clean. 3rd mode - Whitening - Whirs up and down slightly over a few seconds.
@@ElectricTeeth Actually that's really helpful. Thanks so much!
Thanks for the great video! One thing I'm confused about is how to change the cleaning mode without actually starting the motor on my Oral-B Genius X 10000. It seems like I can only get the mode changed as the toothbrush is brushing which means I'm triggering a session and also not getting an accurate timer. Thanks!
You are absolutely correct about only changing the mode once the brush is switched on. The brush will remember the last mode you used, so if you have brushed for 2 minutes with the Whitening Mode for example, the next time you turn it on, it should default to this mode so you don't need to change it. But, there is no way to change the modes without first powering the brush on. This is a small frustration on all Oral-B toothbrushes, with the exception of their latest model the iO.
You could also open the Oral b app to change the order of brush modes or disable brushing modes. Like if you only perfer to use Daily Clean you can disable all the another modes so it wouldn't be hard to locate daily clean mode.
The Oral B Quad pacer doesn't change when switch between brushing modes.
HI, I purchased a Smart 2000 model which, according to the manual has 2 modes. Yet, in actuality, the power witch actually has a mysterious 3rd mode which is basically like the daily clean mode and sensitive mode combined. This mode continuously cycles from low vibration to high vibration. Each cycle takes about 2-3 seconds. Do you know what it's called , what it's for and how to use it?
Hey. We have just finished reviewing this model (video coming to the channel very soon). We too found it to have 3 modes, despite being labelled as having just 2. The 3rd mode is 'Whitening'.
Great video! I just bought a oral b smart 4 - 4200S but is not possible to install the oral b application as long the system require a iOS version 13 and more and my iPhone 6S has the version 12.6 with no more possibility to upload New versions AS long my mobile is updated to last available version. How can I solve this issue?
As I see it you have 3 options. 1. Use the toothbrush without the app features. 2. Return the toothbrush and go for a different model. 3. Upgrade your mobile device.
Excellent review; well done. Are the intense and pro clean modes about the same?
Yes Gary they are. As far as I can tell, intense is essentially the new name for Pro Clean. Intense has been introduced with the Oral-B iO.
@@ElectricTeeth In the settings of the Oral b app, will display Intense mode, instead of pro clean mode. Inside my Oral b Genius X.
One good use of whitening mode is it will make someones teeth look cleaner. Since removes more surface stains then the rest of the modes
Should veneers use any particular head or technique? Thanks in advance.
No. You clean veneers like you would natural teeth. No special head required.
Hi, I have the Smart 4 4900. It only has one button (the power button) so I assume i just press this button to filter through the different modes however when I press it all it does it turn the brush on and off, would you say this is wrong and is faulty? I've tried resetting the brush and it hasn't helped.
Hi Shani. You are correct about pressing the power button repeatedly to go through the modes. If it is just turning the brush off and not changing the modes, it might be because the modes are locked. This vide explains how to resolve: kzhead.info/sun/dMWchLiPrqtpo2g/bejne.html
What oral b heads should you put on each mode and when should you upgrade your electric toothbrush also should you brush in circular motions with this toothbrush
You can technically use any brush head on any mode. Some heads are 'better suited' to specific modes for example 3D White on the whitening mode. It is a little more complicated due to the vast array of options. Brush heads should be replaced every 3 months on average. Only upgrade your actual toothbrush handle when the existing one doesn't function any more. You don't need to replace it every few years if it is still working. You do not need to brush in circular motions with this toothbrush. Just move it from tooth to tooth, holding it at a 45 degree angle. This video answers many of your questions about the brush heads - kzhead.info/sun/d9B9qNGlnaKaZmg/bejne.html
So is the gum massage mode something I use for brushing or a separate mode for specifically massaging my gums?
It is designed for use as you brush. That is because as you brush, the toothbrush will be making contact with the gums. If you really want to give extra attention, you can use it solely for the gums.
@@ElectricTeeth Good to know. Thank you.
I just purchased a oral b and had a question, how long does the battery last for, and how long does it take for it to fully charge
It depends on the model. Most take about 12-16 hours to charge fully. How long it lasts for on a full charge varies too. Most are about 2 weeks. If you let me know the model I can provide more specific info.
@@ElectricTeeth thank you so much for the response, i just bought a oral b 5 tooth brush because it was the most affordable
Hello, what is the difference between the smart 6000n model and the genius x models? I currently own and love the 20000n model but I'm interested in gifting the smart 6000n. Is it a good idea or should I opt for another genius model? Thank you in advance!
Without going into a very long explanation, the main difference is that the Genius X has AI to help track the exact position of the brush within the mouth, so it shows on screen of a smartphone how well you are brushing so you can see what areas of the mouth you have and have not brushed well. The Smart 6 is an excellent brush and would make for a lovely gift, but if the user loves tech then the Genius model might be a better option. If the user is not bothered about tech, then a cheaper model may well be just as suitable.
@@ElectricTeeth Thank you for responding so soon!!
Which model is better? Genius x or io Series 6? And so I need the tongue cleaning mode or can I clean my tongue with an other mode?
Both are good. iO6 is a better package, but Genius X is better value as brush heads tend to be half the cost of the iO6.
Daily mode makes my gums bleed on the daily clean mode with the floss action attachment head. So I’m using the sensitive mode at the moment
I use the Oral B Braun electric toothbrush, is there a way to speed up the charging process?
Afraid not.
I was still wondering how and when to use the gum care mode. Do you only place the brush on your gums for two minutes? And if so i'm assuming apart from that you still have to do the daily clean.
You can use the gum care mode as your daily brushing mode, in preference to daily clean. You don't have to use gum care mode for the gums only.
How do you actually tell which mode the brush is in? There's plenty of lists of what modes there are, but no indication on the brush or (as far as I can tell) in the manual or on the internet about how to determine which mode you're using
You can't unless your brush has icons/labels on the handle to tell you. You can learn the difference between the sounds/brushing sensation (but that takes some getting used to).
Is the tongue cleaning mode really needed, or could I just use the gum care or sensitive modes on cheaper iO models when cleaning the tongue?
No you don't need the tongue cleaning mode. You can use another mode. You don't have to have the brush turned on even. You can just pull the brush along the tongue. I actually personally use a tongue scraper as I prefer this.
@@ElectricTeeth Thank you.
Does the Whitening mode movement mimic the movement of an actual dental polisher. I have a Oral b Genius X and the whitening mode sounds like its actual polishing my teeth.
This is the concept behind the mode as far as I am aware. I do not have the technical knowledge of professional dental polishing tools to confirm completely, but the changes in speed during the clean is supposed to help buff the teeth to a nice shine.
@@ElectricTeeth Would it be a good idea to use whitening mode to polish teeth after using daily clean mode to clean teeth like. Use daily clean mode to clean all tooth surface. Then use Whitening mode to buff/polish the outer surfaces of each tooth in the mouth.
You could, but not essential. If you have a good brushing routine already then it is unlikely that you will see a big difference/improvement in tooth colour.
Best to still get a gum clean from the dentist
When am I supposed to use the gum care mode? And do I use that with toothpaste? And do I need special paste for the whitening mode? Why wouldn’t I just use that mode every time? Thanks!
You can use the gum care and the whitening mode as an everyday brushing mode if you like. Some will use the gum care mode as an extra brushing mode after normal brushing to give their gums extra attention, but this isn't generally required. If using the gum care mode on gums only and not teeth (as an extra brushing session) you don't need toothpaste. You don't need a special paste for whitening mode. You can use a whitening toothpaste, these tend to be more abrasive so help remove surface stains quicker.
Thank you!!
Does the gum mode replace a cleaning mode? Or should I use a cleaning mode followed by the gum mode in one session?
You can use the gum mode instead of the daily clean mode if you like. Daily clean gives a slightly deeper clean.
using gum care mode, do you brush up to the gum line or do you actually brush gums?
When brushing you do want to make contact with the gum a bit at least. Angle the brush head at 45 degrees to the gumline to get the plaque brushed away. You can then if you like pass over the gums fully with the brush head.
How do you know what mode your in? I couldn't find any reference on the app for my 5000.
what is the mode where the oscillations vary over a couple of seconds from low to high in cycles ?
Probably whitening
Not every model has little icons that light up to tell you what mode you're in. E.g. the Pro 3000 has 3 modes, but what are they, and in *what order* are they engaged when clicking the power button?
It is usually listed in the user manual. In what country did you buy the Pro 3000 you have?
@@ElectricTeeth - I bought it in the US. The included manual is a generic manual that covers several models, and doesn't properly detail their differences. (It's entitled "PRO DEEP SWEEP SmartSeries 1000-6000".) That's why I've been looking for better info. I've emailed Oral-B but they haven't responded.
OK thanks. So, I think the modes are in this order, Daily Clean, Sensitive and then Gum Care. So, 2 presses of the power button will launch you into sensitive mode. 1 press to turn on and a second press to change from Daily Clean to Sensitive.
@@ElectricTeeth - Thank you. I've also now heard back from Oral-B directly, and you're correct about the modes and their order. Side note: I asked about battery care too (mine has a NiMH), and they just recommended letting the battery run down completely once every 6 months.
The Order of cleaning modes for a Oral B Pro 3000: 1. Daily Clean 2. Sensitive 3. Gum Care
Can sensitive mode be used to brush the gums only?
If you wish.
What is the best cleaning mode and brush head for gum recession?
Sensitive or gun care mode are the most appropriate along with a sensitive/sensi ultrathin brush head.
Thanks for the reply! I really appreciate it! I’ve been looking for advice on cleaning modes and brush heads from other dentists both in dental offices and KZhead but have found no advice for patients with gum recession and finally got it here, thanks a lot!
@@ElectricTeeth Thank you--another gum recession person here--been buried in reviews trying to find the best Oral B electric toothbrush for this condition and your website and videos are saving me! One more question though--you said that the different models will have different speeds. I just want one that will give me a sensitive mode and one or two other modes--no bells and whistles--that would lead me to believe the pro1500 would be fine but some reviews say it's too harsh. Would that mean that the sensitive mode isn't sensitive enough? Sorry if this is a confusing question--there are too many options! Which model has the most sensitive of the sensitive modes?
I believe the Pro/Smart 1500 would be fine. The power of the motors can vary ever so slightly between different models, but not in a way that makes any meaningful difference. Everyone will have a different opinion on whether the brushing sensation is too harsh or not. Most, should find that the Sensitive mode when used with a Sensitive or Pro Gum Care brush head is ideal. If it was too harsh then you would need to look at a different brand rather than a different brush as another brush from Oral-B would be very similar. If you didn't get along with the brush you could take advantage of the Oral-B money back guarantee.
What mode would you recommend for braces?
The DailyClean mode is perfectly fine for braces.
Daily Clean or Pro Clean mode are good for cleaning braces regular. But after getting braces, your gums might feel sensitive and easily bleed. So starting off with Gum Care or Sensitive mode would be a great idea.
@@ElectricTeeth Daily Clean or Pro Clean mode are good for cleaning braces regular. But after getting braces, gums might feel sensitive and easily bleed. So starting off with Gum Care or Sensitive mode would be a great idea.
I always use intense mode, it makes me feel like I came back from the dentist, that might just be because I have the io though.
I have the IO 7. I have the power button and then the Bluetooth button when I hit the power button it starts I can’t figure out how to switch between modes it’s always stuck on daily cleaning mode. Please help.
If you press the button below the display (the one with the dot in it) this should change the cleaning mode. Keep pressing it to cycle through the modes. If this does not work, it is likely that the cleaning modes have been disabled/locked. We have a video coming to the channel to explain how to fix this soon. But in the meantime, head to the following article where I explain just how to unlock these modes and make them available again. www.electricteeth.com/oral-b-cleaning-modes-explained/
Does the whitening mode actually work or is it marketing guff?
No not really. A standard clean mode can whiten the teeth comparably.
Hi, does anyone know how to add bleeding gums to the app? It doesn’t ask often enough and I can’t see where to add it manually. Thanks
I dont think there is a way to have it ask more often. It will ask once a week. Within the app > More>Notification Settings>Gum Bleeding Tracker
How do I access the daily clean on the genius x? I don’t find it?
It is the first mode on the brush. No icon will be lit when the mode is activated.
Since you have a Genius X, and if you only want to use daily clean that Oral b app settings, allows you to deselect brushing modes. So you can deselect the modes you that you know you don't need or want to use. This way it will be easier to quickly find the Oral b Daily Clean mode. Or when when Cycling through the brushing modes you'll need to pay attention to the brushing movement, since you'll hear and feel different movements in your Oral b Genius X.
Can the pro clean mode be used everyday?
It is not necessary to, but you can do so if you wish.
Any brushing mode can be used everyday.
Does whitening mode really clean teeth or does it just polish your teeth.
It will clean the teeth yes.
@@ElectricTeeth Would this be the perfect brushing technique for the 3d white brush head: kzhead.info/sun/rL2akqeLoKuhnYU/bejne.html
Thanks for this. I just got an Oral b 700n for Christmas. The instructions aren't the best and doesn't really explain the modes.
Just a random question, but do I have to gargle my mouth with water after brushing my teeth
No, there is no reason to do so. Spit, but don't rinse after brushing. kzhead.info/sun/ddiPYq6NgmOFnYE/bejne.html
Electric Teeth thanks
Hi Jennie - my dentist recommends not rinsing your mouth out with water after brushing (you lose some of the effect of just coating your teeth with flouride), using mouthwash for 30 seconds, then not eating or drinking for 30 minutes after
Jennie if you rinse your mouth after brushing you will wash away all the toothpaste molcules left on your teeth. And you won't allow the toothpaste to do its job. For example, Whitening Toothpaste only whitens the outer surface of teeth. So if you rinse your mouth you'll rinse away the toothpaste molecules that will whiten your outer surface of teeth.
What should be the routine for brushing teeth, brush gums on one mode, change mode for teeth, than tongue...etc... I usually use one mode, on the more gentle function for everything.
Nicole. Most will stick to one mode. You can use multiple modes if you like, but it is not essential. With the correct brushing technique you should get the teeth and the gumline. You can if you desire give a little extra attention to the gums after your regular brushing. I hope t his helps.
@@ElectricTeeth Thank you for your reply! It makes sense.
Modes to clean every part of your mouth: 1. Teeth: Daily Clean 2. Gum tissue: Gum Care 3. Inside Cheeks: Sensitive 4. Top of your mouth: Daily Clean 5. Bottom of your mouth: Sensitive 5. Tongue: Tongue Cleaning
My brush has the arrow to switch modes and it's only going through the standard and tongue brushing for some reason please help!
Scarlett. Ok, so the modes have been locked/disabled on your brush. This is quite a common issue and your brush is unlikely to be faulty. We actually have a video coming in the next week on the channel to explain how to fix this. However, in the meantime, if I may direct you to the following article where I have written about how to fix the issue: www.electricteeth.com/oral-b-cleaning-modes-explained/ Scroll down to the section titled 'Oral-B cleaning modes locked'. I hope this helps.
Scarlett Albertson Do you have a Bluetooth Toothbrush, and if so do you use the Oral b App. If so the Oral b App allows you to disable and enable brushing modes. So to get all your modes back you can open the Oral b App 1. Click on more 2. select Toothbrush 3. Scroll down 4. Click on Reset tooth brush And then you brush would be reset to the facotory set up.
The user does not need to reset their toothbrush to enable cleaning modes again. See our article. You can end a dental care journey which will have disabled the modes. Or you can enable the disabled modes under the 'your brush' menu within the 'more' section of the app. Video coming to the channel this week to explain this.
None of these videos actually show how to actually change the brushing modes on the brush. The manual doesn’t tell you either. Amazing.
7:20 I do explain how to change the modes. Sorry if graphically it is not presented quite as you would like. In most cases it is completed by either pressing the power button multiple times or pressing the dedicated cleaning mode button that is usually a downwards facing arrow.
@@ElectricTeeth thanks. I looked online more and it seems like they have a lot of different models and every one of them operates slightly different. Its stupid that they don't tell you how to change it in the manual that comes with it. I did find the proper sequence of buttons to push for my model on their website. I'm going to try out the gum care mode for my receding gums. THANKS!
Nice
How do you change the mode
it depends on the model used. You either use the power button or the separate mode button the toothbrush has.
Can you please do a video on how to brush with correct technique? Thank you.
We have this covered within this video - kzhead.info/sun/hqZ-hK6mjKmtqps/bejne.html I hope that helps.
My oral b io series 4 does not show those fancy little symbols when you try to change the mode.
That's right. This is because the iO4 does not have any cleaning mode icons/labels on the brush handle. There is no way of telling what mode you have selected unless you use the app or learn the order/sound of the modes.
Unfortunately I cannot use the app on my I-phone because the app does not recognize my brush, despite repeated tries. @@ElectricTeeth
Sorry to read this. Reliability is usually pretty good with iPhones. It could be worth trying to reset the brush and trying to pair it immediately after taking the brush off the charging stand, if you haven't already.
thanks for the suggestion. Nothing I tried worked, so I returned it and bought a Philips@@ElectricTeeth
Sometimes when I brush, even when the brush is fully charged, the battery dies quickly and it stops when I’m halfway through brushing and when it stops, I have to wait several hours for it to charge until early in the morning and I have to finish the remaining quadrants early in the morning. I don’t know why this is happening, it’s a very frustrating situation to be in!
How old is your brush? It sounds like it could be faulty. How long are you brushing for??
Thanks 👍 you good job👋
why has the speed go my oral b 6 slowed away down after 2 months
It shouldn't have done. Get in contact with Oral-B to discuss.
Is the whitening mode really worth it?
No not really.
Whitening mode helps polish teeth and remove surface stains. And to make teeth to appear whiter after using it for it with the 3d white brush head and 3d whitening toothpaste.

Whitening mode will make your teeth look much whiter and cleaner
neat
Do you think a user should massage their gums after flossing their gums?
I don't think this is a necessary thing that everyone should do.
Electric Teeth Pro Clean/Deep Clean allows a user to spend a few seconds on each surface. While Daily Clean require a user to move fast in order to finish a quadrant for 30 seconds
Do I need one with the different clean modes or the single cleaning modes?
You don't NEED one with different cleaning modes. For the vast majority of people a single standard cleaning mode is perfectly fine.
How di you switch mods?
Depends on the model. Either via the dedicated cleaning mode button (downwards facing arrow) or the power button.
If you have a model with only one button, then you'll need to cycle through the model with the power button. But if you model has two button, you'll need to use the mode button(downwards facing arrow).
And If you toothbrush is bluetooth, you can open the Oral b App settings. Then select Toothbrush settings. And you can click on modes you don't want to use. Maybe you only want one like Daily Clean mode, you can click on all the other modes. And then the brush mode wouldn't be activate on your toothbrush.
Hi there, I really just want an affordable basic ORAL B Electric toothbrush that has a **Sensitive Mode** available on it, as I have really sensitive teeth. I don't need all the Bluetooth complicated fancy bells & whistles 🙄 Can you please recommend one for me?
The Oral-B Pro 2 2500 is the brush for you if you are in the UK or Europe. Or the Oral-B Pro 1500 or 3000 if you are the USA or Canada.
@@ElectricTeeth great thank you
Electric Teeth, whitening/polish mode will allow a user to polish their teeth. And When teeth are Polished and Smooth, would make plaque to less likely to adhere(stick fast) or attach tooth the tooth surface. Dental Polish at the Dental Office: kzhead.info/sun/nZdxeMqlapGFlpE/bejne.html www.offthecusp.com/1-brush-5-modes-thats-genius-giveaway/: Polishing/Whitening mode. "A second alternating-speed mode, the polishing action moves between high and low oscillations to help buff away stains on the tooth surface, providing patients with a cosmetic boost. A whiter smile and a smoother tooth feel is just the beginning; polishing the tooth surface can also make brushing more effective, eliminating hard edges where tartar can build up more easily."
My question is how do I change modes?
It depends on your model of toothbrush. You either press the power button additional times or if your brush has a dedicated cleaning mode button, you press that.
I dont really understand, what is pulsating mean for this toothbrush.
Oral-B brushes have a small, round brush head that moves back and forth (side to side movements) in a circular motion to help remove plaque and dental debris. This is the oscillating-rotating movement. This oscillating-rotating movement is referred to as ‘2D’ cleaning by the brand. Pulsations are essentially vibrations that offer a more sophisticated motion and gives another dimension to the brushing. A brush with oscillating-rotating and pulsations has what Oral-B call ‘3D’ cleaning.
I think this video will be more helpful if it also explains pulsation and oscillation. The numbers are otherwise not very meaningful if we don’t know pulsation and oscillation
Thank you for the feedback Yvonne, we will consider this for future updates. For your info. Oral-B brushes have a small, round brush head that moves back and forth (side to side movements) in a circular motion to help remove plaque and dental debris. When using an oscillating-rotating toothbrush, you should gently move the brush head from tooth to tooth, letting the brush do the cleaning. The movement of the bristles and the head itself essentially scrubs the teeth clean. You don’t need to repeatedly move the bush up and down, back and forth. This oscillating-rotating movement is referred to as ‘2D’ cleaning by the brand. Add in Pulsations (essentially vibrations) and this now becomes ‘3D’ cleaning. Pulsations offer a more sophisticated motion and gives another dimension to the brushing. Whereas the 2D cleaning requires the physical movement of the brush head against the teeth, pulsations are essentially a ‘non contact’ form of brushing and relies on pulsations/vibrations.
Thank you for your explanation! I have watched a lot of your videos. Looking forward to more content from you ✨
Still don't know how to change modes........Only have 1x button and pressing it just cycles between Fast,Slow and Off
What model do you have Martin?
I just find the vibration every thirty seconds annoying. What if I did the first quarter of my mouth slower and wasn't ready to move on? Just tell me when 2 minutes is up so I can wrap it up.
You can ultimately ignore it if you wish. The idea is to brush the teeth evenly, to avoid potential issues long term. If you are brushing the teeth unevenly it may lead to potential issues.
FroztiProductions if you own an Oral b Bluetooth Toothbrush. The Oral b App Allows you to increase your toothbrush timer.
Electric Teeth when using tongue cleaning mode, should a use allow the brush to oscillate. Like when add pressure to the tongue the oral b electric toothbrush won't oscillating it would only vibrate. And should a a user use the mode when their mouth is clothes just like they would do when brushing their teeth.
It is personal preference. Many find it quick 'ticklish' when the brush is turned on. So many drag the toothbrush bristles over the tongue when it is switched off, rather than on. You certainly don't need to apply lots of pressure. The main thing/benefit is actually doing some form of tongue cleaning.
Always trust the man with the white teeth 😁
okay
I wish there was one mode that did it all and it was suitable for everyone
Is that not the 'Daily Clean' mode? Should suit most people.
Daily Clean mode is on every Oral b electric toothbrush. And its mostly normal 2 minute(30 seconds per quadrant) toothbrushing.
fact check: all modes do the same thing (some adds more time or just lower vibrations) its a marketing tool.
What is the best of the best for a toothbrush? Like money no object best of the best
Anthony. Right now my pick would be the Sonicare DiamondClean Smart, closely followed by the Oral-B iO. As complete packages they are very good, particularly the Sonicare. However, their price & package contents doesn't necessarily make them the 'best' toothbrush. The best toothbrush is one you will use regularly. A £50/$50 toothbrush can clean just as well as the premium models.
@@ElectricTeeth well would you reccomend the DazzlePro ? dazzlepro.com/products/elements-sonic-toothbrush?discount=a50&variant=43121580242 Right now if you use code 50A you can purchase it for 50%off
It is an ok product. I don't dislike it. I think there are better value products, as I explain in my hands on review: kzhead.info/sun/f6eCmqihqal8pHA/bejne.html With that discount though, that does change things a little.
Hi
Oral-B has so many different models each with different mode procedures and capabilities. The packaged "instructions" are completely inadequate. The video presumes that all Oral-B brushes have similar mode capabilities. My model 3791 makes no mention of more than the one standard mode. Given the above, the video is too generic and non-specific to be of much help.
Hey. Thanks for the comment and feedback. This video wasn't intended to cover every specific model within the Oral-B range and was designed to be a generalised explanation of the key differences between the different cleaning modes that are available on different models. If we had listed all models, their modes etc this would have made for a very long video. We cover the specific brushes and their cleaning modes in our review videos for each brush. The 3791 handle actually could be one of several different models, but I suspect you have the Pro 1000. This model is equipped with just 1 mode, Daily Clean. This is the only mode you need really. if you have any questions about this, we will do our best to help.
A channel you can really sink your gums into.
😄
Watch on 1.5 speed it’s more bearable.
you explain too slow. are u trying to make a longer video, the contents could be explained and presented in half the time.
Sorry about that. Not intentionally saying it slowly. By all means use the controls KZhead offers to speed up the playback.
