However, each replacement will last at least three months, as the brush isn't particularly power-hungry. It also benefits from extra cleaning modes, notably sensitive, which is ideal for those who have sore gums or find the standard cleaning mode a little too intense. Or to put it another way, for the extra money does the iO9 app give sufficiently more detail that it will make a real difference to how well I learn to thoroughly clean all my teeth? I hope this helps those who think this new brush might do the trick, in fact the 2500 one is good enough. I honestly never use any mode than the Daily Clean and so far, it has given me great results within my morning and evening routines.

That is better than premium brushes like the iO9, which has very inconsistent usage times, despite a claimed 2+ week battery life.Manual toothbrushes are becoming increasingly obsolete, especially now we know that electric versions are proven to improve your oral health habits.

Turn off the brush and you’re graded for your cleaning, and over time you’ll get tips that can help you improve your technique further. It’s not always practical to have your phone with you in the bathroom, and if you don’t you still get enough aural feedback (from the usual timed pulses) and visual feedback to help you maintain a routine. So, next time you use the brush you may need to cycle through the modes if you don’t want to use the default Daily Clean cycle.

With a good oral care routine, like you are on the path to achieving, you shouldn’t need to use mouthwash at all. Unless you want a smart toothbrush, you could save a good amount of money and go for a brush like the Pro 3 3500. The iO Series 6 has Oral-B's latest motor, which is extremely quiet and allows the brush to glide smoothly across your teeth. If you wan to find out more about how this works, make sure to check my iO Series 9 review as I shared how it works in more details there. Every effort is made to ensure the key differences listed are correct, but these differences are subject to change without notice.
