Timer
The timer signals with a short stuttering sound and a
flashing light of the Smart Ring at 30-second intervals
to move to the next quadrant of your mouth (picture ➂).
A long stuttering sound and a flashing light indicate the
end of the professionally recommended 2-minute
brushing time.
The timer memorizes the elapsed brushing time, even
when the handle is briefly switched off during brushing.
The timer resets if pausing longer than 30 seconds,
briefly pressing the mode button (4) during pause or
placing the handle on the plugged-in charger.
Note: During the use of the Oral-B™ App, the timer
may be deactivated for some features.
Note: You can also customize the timer settings via
Oral-B™ App.
Pressure sensor
If too much pressure is applied, the Smart Ring (2) will
light up in red, reminding you to reduce pressure.
Constant high pressure for more than 5 seconds is
indicated with a fast flashing Smart Ring (2). In addition
the pulsation of the brush head will stop and the
oscillation movement of the brush head will be reduced
(during «Daily Clean», «Pro Clean» and «Sensitive»
mode) (picture ➂).
Periodically check the operation of the pressure sensor
by pressing moderately on the brush head during use.
Note: During the use of the Oral-B™ App, the pressure
sensor may be deactivated for some features.

Brush heads
Oral-B offers you a variety of different Oral-B brush
heads that fit your Oral-B toothbrush handle.
Our oscillating-rotating brush heads can be used for
tooth-by-tooth precision cleaning.
Oral-B CrossAction brush head
Our most advanced brush head. Angled
bristles for a precise clean. Lifts and
powers away plaque.
Oral-B FlossAction brush head
features micropulse bristles that allow for
an outstanding plaque removal in the
interdental areas.
Oral-B 3D White brush head
features a special polishing cup to
naturally whiten your teeth. Please note
that children under 12 years old should
not use the Oral-B «3D White» brush
head.
Oral-B Sensi Ultrathin brush head
features a combination of regular bristles
to clean teeth surfaces and ultrathin

Most Oral-B brush heads feature light blue
INDICATOR® bristles to help you monitor brush head
replacement need. With thorough brushing, twice a day
for two minutes, the blue color will fade halfway
approximately within 3 months, indicating the need to
exchange your brush head. If the bristles splay before
the color recedes, you may exert too much pressure on
teeth and gums.
