- Brushing Technique:
- Wet the brush head and apply a small amount of toothpaste.

- Guide the brush head slowly from tooth to tooth, allowing it to clean each tooth surface for a few seconds.
- Do not scrub. Let the toothbrush do the work.
- Brush all four quadrants of your mouth evenly.
- Smart Features: If your original Genius X system included a smartphone app or pressure sensor, this replacement handle is designed to integrate with those features.
5. Maintenance
- After Each Use: Rinse the brush head thoroughly under running water with the handle switched on. Remove the brush head and clean both the handle and the brush head separately.
- Cleaning the Handle: Wipe the handle with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the handle in water.
- Brush Head Replacement: Dentists recommend replacing your brush head every 3 months, or sooner if the bristles are splayed or worn.
