The iO6-10 does allow the color to be changed via the in-handle display. But, you have fewer color choices than if you navigate to the app. There is some variance in the colors available Added value is always appreciated. Bit miffed however that Oral-B does not offer the iO9 in violet or the iO8 in pink. These things exist at price points that should include all of the colors Oral-B has being available for each of their models. She’d enjoy and love a violet iO8, but it’s the rose of the iO9 that will get a sparkle going in her eye. Once you had a electric toothbrush you soon will know how long to brush your teeth and when to change the brush head. The key indicator is the color change from “blue” to whiteish.

PERSONALIZE YOUR BRUSHING choosing among 5 CLEANING MODES: Daily Clean, Sensitive, Whitening, Gum Care and Intense Clean. Brushing for the recommended minimum of 2 minutes twice a day achieves maximum plaque removal. Yet many people brush for as little as 45-70 seconds per day. The 3, 4, 5 and 6 all come with a standard Oral-B charger. White in colour, it has a protuberance on the top that fits into the base of the brush handle. You can change the cleaning mode on the iO5 before turning the brush on. You can’t do this on the iO4.If you have no idea if you are using the right amount of pressure, the iO6 will let you know. It’s going to help prevent you from doing unnecessary damage to the teeth and gums if you brush too hard. Or get you applying more force if you are a bit too soft.

All system components (e.g., toothbrush handle, charger, power cord, SmartGuide). You do not need to include accessories like the brush heads or refill stand. It has been awarded the American Dental Association’s Seal of Acceptance, confirming it meets the claims made by the manufacturer. iO specific heads are required for the iO6. The brush heads have gotten bigger It is important to be flossing (cleaning between the teeth). We generally recommend flossing before brushing, but ultimately flossing at any time is better than not at all. Thank you for the in depth wonderful information/video and I hope all my blubbering helps some of y’all on the fence as I was, and/or on a limited budget that could use a coupon/discount…like me. Oral-B also has discounts currently on-going now as well, so do your homework and happy shopping and better dental health! Reply

Oral-B has added value to the iO9 by including two additional brush heads for a total of four. The iO8 meanwhile, now comes with three brush heads in total. The round charger has no protuberance. It does have a 2 pin power adapter, and supports 100-240v. It takes up to 3 hours to recharge the brushes on this stand. Although both have 5 cleaning modes, they are different. The iO5 has daily clean, sensitive, super sensitive, intense and whitening, whilst the iO6 has daily clean, sensitive, intense, whitening and gum care. The iO5 has super sensitive whilst the iO6 has gum care. Plastic is the material of choice for good reason, but commonly used gloss finishes have been replaced with a matte finish that looks more refined.
