Introduction
Welcome to the Oral B Pro Max Electric Toothbrush user manual. This guide provides essential information for the safe and effective use of your new electric toothbrush. Please read these instructions carefully before first use and keep them for future reference.
Package Contents
Your Oral B Pro Max Electric Toothbrush package should contain the following items:
- 1 x Oral B Pro Max Electric Toothbrush Handle
- 1 x Cross Action Brush Head
- 1 x Charging Base
- 1 x Power Adapter (may vary by region)
- User Manual (this document)
Setup
1. Charging the Toothbrush
Before first use, charge your toothbrush for at least 24 hours. For daily use, keep the toothbrush on the plugged-in charging unit to maintain full power. The toothbrush is rechargeable and does not use disposable batteries.
- Connect the charging base to a suitable power outlet using the provided power adapter.
- Place the toothbrush handle onto the charging base.
- The charging indicator light (if present) will illuminate to confirm charging.
2. Attaching the Brush Head
Align the brush head with the shaft of the toothbrush handle and push it down until it clicks into place.
Operation
1. Powering On/Off and Changing Modes
Press the power button to turn the toothbrush on. Press it again to cycle through the available brushing modes. Hold the power button to turn the toothbrush off.
- Daily Clean: Standard mode for everyday plaque removal.
- Soft Clean: Gentle cleaning for sensitive areas, gums, or during adaptation.
- Polish Teeth: Designed for polishing and whitening.
2. Brushing Technique and Timer
Wet the brush head and apply a small amount of toothpaste. Place the brush head against your teeth at a slight angle towards the gumline. Guide the brush head slowly from tooth to tooth, allowing it to clean each surface for a few seconds. Do not scrub hard.
The Oral B Pro Max features a built-in 2-minute timer and a 30-second quadrant timer to ensure thorough cleaning:
- The toothbrush will briefly pause every 30 seconds to signal you to move to the next quadrant of your mouth (upper right, upper left, lower right, lower left).
- After 2 minutes, the toothbrush will provide a longer pause or a different signal to indicate the completion of the recommended brushing time.
3. Pressure Sensor
Your toothbrush is equipped with a precision pressure sensor. If you press too hard while brushing, the toothbrush will automatically slow down to protect your gums and teeth from damage. This feature helps prevent over-brushing and promotes healthier brushing habits.
Maintenance
1. Cleaning the Toothbrush
The Oral B Pro Max Electric Toothbrush features a whole-body waterproof design, making it easy to clean.
- After each use, rinse the brush head thoroughly under running water while the toothbrush is still switched on.
- Remove the brush head from the handle and rinse both parts separately.
- Wipe the handle with a damp cloth.
- Ensure the charging base is unplugged before cleaning and wipe it with a dry cloth only.
2. Brush Head Replacement
Dentists recommend changing your brush head every 3 months, or sooner if the bristles are splayed or worn. Worn bristles clean less effectively.

User Tips

- Gentle Brushing: Let the toothbrush do the work. The pressure sensor will alert you if you're brushing too hard, helping to protect your gums and enamel.
- Quadrant Brushing: Pay attention to the 30-second interval timer. This helps ensure you dedicate equal time to all four quadrants of your mouth for a comprehensive clean.
- Brush Head Compatibility: While the product comes with a Cross Action brush head, Oral B offers various brush head types. Ensure any replacement brush heads are compatible with your Oral B handle.
- Power Adapter: The charger is designed to be compatible with various power standards. If you are unsure about voltage compatibility (e.g., 110V), verify the adapter's specifications or consult the seller.
