Oral-B iO8

Why I Recommend this Electric Toothbrush?

Having used the Oral B Genius range toothbrush for several years, I would routinely recommend these brushes to my patients. The oscillating/rotating heads are extremely effective at plaque removal, and my mouth felt clean after use.

But when I tried the Oral B IO Series for the first time, I was seriously impressed by the jump in technology and performance.

The IO8 cleans just as effectively, but feels a noticeable upgrade to previous generations of Oral B brushes. I particularly appreciated how it performs much more quietly and feels more gentle compared to older versions. The added micro pulsation offers the feel of sonic technology, whilst retaining its oscillating-rotating cleaning power. This really makes it the stand out brush for me, and I’ve used it ever since.

Its interactive colour display provides helpful information including a visual timer, battery level indicator, and brush head replacement reminder. With AI brush tracking, the IO8 recognises and adapts to your brushing style, guiding you towards full mouth cleaning.

I really liked the bluetooth connected Oral B phone app as an additional educational tool. Using the app whilst brushing tracks progress, and guides cleaning across your mouth to encourage thorough brushing.

The Oral B IO8 offers six smart modes allowing you to customise your brushing experience. Important for those who tend to brush vigorously, a brilliant feature is the enhanced smart pressure sensor which signals if you’re using too excessive, or if you’re not applying enough pressure while brushing, helping you find that sweet spot.

The magnetic charger is also an appreciated upgrade from older iterations, offering stable and fast charging in only three hours.
