FAQs
How often should I replace the brush head?
The BrushSync technology will alert you when it's time to replace the brush head, typically every three months of normal use. The indicator light will illuminate.
Can I use this toothbrush if I have braces?
While designed for gentle cleaning, it's best to consult your orthodontist regarding the use of electric toothbrushes with braces. Specific brush heads designed for orthodontic care may be available.
What is the difference between 'Clean' and 'Sensitive' modes?
The 'Clean' mode provides a standard, thorough cleaning. The 'Sensitive' mode uses gentler vibrations and is designed for users who require a milder clean due to sensitive teeth or gums.
How do I use the travel case charger?
Place the toothbrush handle and plug into the designated slot within the travel case. Connect the travel case to a power source using its integrated USB connection.
How long does a full charge take?
A full charge typically takes around 24 hours and provides up to three weeks of regular use.
What does the purple light on the handle mean?
The purple light indicates that you are applying too much pressure while brushing. Ease up on the pressure to protect your gums.
Is this toothbrush waterproof?
The toothbrush handle is designed to be water-resistant for cleaning under the tap, but it should not be submerged in water.
Troubleshooting
Toothbrush does not turn on.
Ensure the toothbrush is charged. Place it on the charging base for at least 24 hours. Check if the charging base is plugged in and functioning. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Brushing intensity feels too high.
Select a lower intensity level or switch to the 'Sensitive' mode. If you are within the first 14 uses, the Easy-Start feature is active and will gradually increase power. Ensure you are not pressing too hard, as the pressure sensor will alert you.
Brush head replacement light is on, but the head seems fine.
The BrushSync technology tracks usage time to indicate replacement. It's recommended to replace the brush head when the indicator is lit, even if it appears visually sound, to maintain optimal cleaning effectiveness.
Battery is not holding a charge.
Ensure the charger is properly connected and the toothbrush is seated correctly on the charging base. Try a different power outlet. If the battery life is significantly reduced after a full charge, contact customer support as the battery may need replacement.
