L ‘personal hygiene is one of the areas of our daily life in which the availability of smart devices has led to a change in habits. Technology can help you perform regularly, as well as more effectively, many daily tasks such as cleaning your teeth.

Oral-B announced Oral-B iO , the new generation of electric toothbrush connected to your smartphone that helps its user to guarantee teeth cleaning more effective and profound. The innovations implemented are different and range from oscillating-rotating technology combined to that with micro-vibrations : the purpose of both is to ensure a deeper and more thorough cleaning of the teeth without, however, being aggressive on the teeth and gums.

Micro vibrations, but super quiet operation

The motor has a magnetic operation without of friction , a technical choice that makes it possible to make the operating noise almost imperceptible during use as well as applying energy directly to the tips of the bristles for a more effective on the teeth.

Very useful is the presence of a sensor that guides the user to exert the correct pressure during the use of the product . If the light turns green, the level is correct, while a change to red implies excessive pressure that must be reduced in order to ensure more effective cleaning as well as avoiding gum problems. There are two buttons on the toothbrush: the first is the one that regulates ignition and shutdown, while the second allows you to select the operating modes

• whiten : program that helps in the teeth whitening operation
• gum care : program that intervenes to take care of the gums
• intense : more intense cleaning:
• super sensitive : cleaning level for extremely sensitive teeth
• tongue cleran : tongue cleaning program
• daily clean : daily cleaning program , in fact the standard one
• sensitive : cleaning level for sensitive teeth

A charging base is supplied with the product, together with a case: both allow you to recharge the product, while the second allows you to have Oral-B iO available even during a trip, including accessories in addition to the toothbrush. Oral-B iO can be used in standalone mode and provides, through the display, all the information useful for its operation. However, the combination with the Oral-B App is particularly useful, which, through your smartphone, allows you to monitor all tooth cleaning activities and be guided on the time to devote to cleaning each group of teeth so as to ensure complete cleaning.

The App guides you to better clean your teeth

During guided use with the App on the smartphone screen displays the complete lower and upper dental arch: the teeth take on a whiter color when the bristles of the toothbrush are cleaning them to the point of shine when the cleaning action is considered completed. Everything requires an average time of 3 minutes , therefore more than 2 minutes which are indicated as cleaning time minimum by specialists.

The App also provides statistical information , with a final value that in some ways certifies the quality of the teeth cleaning action by implementing an approach that is reminiscent of a challenge: in doing so the user is pushed to devote maximum attention to cleaning their teeth, so as to receive appreciation at the end of the operation directly from the App.

You brush your teeth more pleasantly and effectively

The user experience is undoubtedly very pleasant : I found myself spending more time cleaning my teeth than I typically do with a traditional toothbrush , completing the cleaning with a feeling of greater cleanliness and hygiene than what can be obtained with a classic toothbrush. Not only that: with Oral-B iO I did not suffer from irritation to the gums or intense bleeding, which often happens to me with a traditional toothbrush.

The electric toothbrush intrigues those who see it for the first time : my daughter immediately asked to try it, also experiencing the feeling of greater cleanliness at the end of the operation. Not only that: being able to check in real time via the App the level dedicated to cleaning your teeth has allowed you to spend more time in the brushing operation without this becoming a burden but rather being pushed to dedicate even more time.

The external shape is common to the 3 models, in addition to the heads which are specific to this range and not compatible with Oral-B electric toothbrushes equipped with a traditional motor. iO Series 7 offers 5 cleaning modes
