Oral-B Genius 9600 Electric Toothbrush

Product Information

Given the brushes battery life, if you are not traveling for long, maybe you won’t need the charger. But, it is a feature so you want to at least try to use it. For the record, there is also a separate Oral-B Fun Zone app, which in Oral-B’s words is ‘a gamification and social sharing experience that makes brushing fun’. Do be aware though, sharing a toothbrush can have implications if you want to make use of the smartphone application. Whilst I explain the app in detail below, this article explains more about multiple users. At 30 second intervals, you get no visual indications on-screen to change quadrant. At 2 minutes you get no notification to end the clean. This is because you have the on-screen timer, but I am not sure how I feel about this.

The power adapter is rated for 100-240v which means it can be used internationally, you just might need a plug adapter if using it outside the USA or Canada.All the marketing spiel aside, the core aim here is to help you and I brush better at home, and it does this.

Two buttons on the handle—one to power it on and off and another to cycle through the modes—make the brush very straightforward, so you won’t have to fiddle with any settings before beginning your brushing session. One of the most important considerations when choosing between toothbrushes is the type of bristles used for the head. “Medium brushes and hard brushes are not meant for human tissues,” says Dr. Palomo. “They’re meant for other appliances that are used in the mouth, such as partial dentures or retainers.” The charging stand is sleek, compact, and stable, so you don't have to worry about the brush toppling over. It’s also easy to use. Just plug the power cord into the stand and place the toothbrush handle on the stand. A full charge takes about 12 hours, but it comes out of the box with enough power for a few cleanings. Unlike many electric toothbrushes on the market, both the iO Series 9 and the Genius 9000 models distinguish themselves with the ability to connect to an app, which you can choose to have open while brushing. This acts as a real-time trainer, giving you tips on how to brush better or if you’re pressing too hard - making it easy to brush properly.The travel case has a place to mount your smartphone. It has a place to connect a power cable to it also. Most phones have their power connector on the bottom. Therefore if you want to charge your phone whilst in the stand on the case, you will need to set it in landscape orientation. All good. Another helpful feature of the Oral-B 5000 electric toothbrush is the pressure sensor that will alert you when you’re pushing too hard on your teeth. It will automatically slow down the brush speed until you relieve the pressure, helping to prevent damage to teeth and gums that can cause sensitivity.

Each Oral-B electric toothbrush provides a superior clean vs. a regular manual toothbrush. Find your perfect electric toothbrush from Oral-B – the #1 dentist used and recommended brand worldwide*. Since you should be brushing your teeth for two minutes twice a day, many electric toothbrushes are equipped with timers that will indicate—often through lights or vibrations—when two minutes have elapsed. Some on this list take that a step further and offer subtle alerts at 20- or 30-second intervals to let you know when you should move from one section of your mouth to the next to ensure even brushing. “To achieve two minutes of toothbrushing, an electric toothbrush can be set with a timer, whereas a manual toothbrush can risk cutting that short,” Dr. Zoumboukos says. The brush appears to struggle at times to identify if you are brushing the inside, outside or biting surfaces of the teeth. One noteworthy feature of this toothbrush is its multiple brushing modes. There are six total: Daily Clean, Pro Clean, Sensitive, 3D White, Gum Care, and Tongue Clean. Each one offers a different cleaning power to tailor your brushing experience to your needs. And unlike models from other brands like Phylian and Sonicare (which feature sonic vibrations), Oral-B brushes feature oscillating and pulsating movements to remove plaque and debris from your teeth.Braun Oral-B electric toothbrushes use small round brush heads with rotating-oscillating technology, and some models also offer pulsing heads for deeper cleaning. Different types of brush head are designed for whitening, sensitive gums, anduse with braces. There is even a compatible brush headmade with charcoal fiber. Press the smaller of the 2 buttons on the handle once the brush is on and you can cycle through the modes.

Seven brushing modes: daily clean, sensitive, gum care, intense clean, whitening, tongue cleaner, super sensitive You do get 5 extra brush heads and more artistic flares on the travel case, so this premium is somewhat justified. It’s affordable with the features you need. It is our number 1 choice for the best electric toothbrush. Existing Genius owners need not upgrade, for the most part, they are the same toothbrush. However, the Genius X is available in new color options, has a different box contents and perhaps most significantly has Artificial Intelligence (AI). The small round oscillating brush head ensures the teeth are cleaned well and there is no reason you could not achieve a good standard of oral care with either of these brushes, when used as part of your daily routine.I explain this more in the battery life section of the review, but what is nice to see is that it is color matched. Additionally, our tester found the toothbrush made it so that hard-to-reach places are not missed. Switching between the six different brush features—including regular, light brushing, whitening, and tongue—is made simple by just pressing down the button of the brush until the chosen mode lights up. The brush is clearly presented and includes text and images to help sell the features and benefits of the toothbrush.
