In some instances, it may be recommended by dental professionals to be used as an extra tool to help keep the mouth clean, but it isn’t essential.

The biggest benefit is that it makes it much easier to switch between the brushing modes or see which one you have selected.If lit red, the motor will slow the bristle movements to further protect the teeth until such time the pressure is relieved. This comparison has more detail – although to be fair, I am comparing the iO Series 9 vs the X in this comparison.

If memory serves me correctly, the pouch case will hold the handle, heads (in their own case) and the charger. It gives a much cleaner look and doesn’t give small areas for grime and residual toothpaste to build up upon. You can Bluetooth connect the toothbrush to an oral-B app which is very simple to set up and easy to use.Can the carrying pouch that comes with the iO 7G accommodate both the brush handle and the small plastic case that holds the two brush heads? You have to use the camera on the front of your smartphone to track the position, rather than the sensors in the handle. Yes, the 6000 connects to the phone and provides some feedback, but not real-time tracking to show which teeth have and have not been brushed. The Series 9 comes with a power2go charging case that allows the iO to be charged inside whereas the Series 8 comes with a standard travel case.
