The new Oral-B iO toothbrush is honestly one like no other. So what does this electric toothbrush do that others don’t? Well, the new iO Magnetic technology combines micro-vibrating bristles with a dentist-inspired round brush head for a professional-clean feeling that lasts all day. This truly couldn’t ring more true. The first time I used it I was honestly blown away, my teeth felt as clean as they do after a bi-yearly professional dental cleaning. The catch, they have continued to feel that way after every brush. I was reminded of this again recently when we did a staycation and I packed a manual toothbrush. Let’s just say, I will never travel without my Oral-B iO again.
Okay, so it cleans great – key reason to get it. But what else sets this brush apart? It has a ‘Smart Pressure Sensor’ that turns red when you are brushing too hard and green when brushing is just right to help keep your gums protected. It also contains artificial intelligence brushing recognition that enables 3D tracking to monitor your brushing across the front, top and back surfaces of your teeth across 16 zones of your mouth. Actually guiding you to a complete and thorough clean every single time. I love that it also has the timer and display on the actual brush in case you don’t have your phone near you. It also has a quick small magnetic charger/stand to store it daily to dry and keeps it ready for when you are on the go! The toothbrush lasts 2 weeks without the charger!
So, was the Oral-B iO toothbrush worth the splurge and would I recommend it? 100 times over again, yes! I actually have this on my list to get Ryan his own for Christmas. He has sensitive gums – he’s not going to like me telling y’all that – haha! But, it will help monitor his brushing to make sure he is thorough yet not putting too much pressure! Also, this has 6 brushing modes, one being “Super Sensitive.”
Oral-B is also taking a great initiative in gifting deserving patients all across the country with an iO brush of their own. Allowing users to help improve their overall oral health right from the comfort of their home. They also gave me some great tips to share from celebrity dentist, Dr. Bill Dorfman:
● Use the best tools: An electric toothbrush has the power you need for optimal brushing results, and has been proven to be far more effective than regular manual toothbrushes.
● Make it a daily routine, times two (at least): Chasing away morning breath makes it easy
for most people to remember to brush in the morning, but a nighttime brush is equally as
important because it dislodges food debris that has accumulated throughout the day.
● Be thorough, yet gentle: The outer surfaces of your teeth may be most visible when you flash a grin, but the inside and top surfaces need brushing attention, too. And while you
focus on reaching every nook and cranny, be wary of brushing too hard.
● Combat contamination: Store your brush away from others so you don’t share bacteria.
Also prevent mold and bacteria growth by never keeping your brush in an enclosed holder or case. Allow your brush to air dry between uses.
