Your Oral-B Type 3765 power handle features 6 distinct brushing modes. To switch between modes:
- With the toothbrush powered on, press the mode button (often located below the On/Off button) repeatedly.
- Each press will cycle through the available modes. The active mode may be indicated by an icon or light on the handle.
- Consult your original Oral-B toothbrush manual for specific details on each mode's function (e.g., Daily Clean, Pro-Clean, Sensitive, Whitening, Gum Care, Tongue Clean).
4.3 Brushing Technique
- Wet the brush head and apply a small amount of toothpaste.
- Place the brush head on 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 aggressively. The electric toothbrush does the work for you.
- Brush all four quadrants of your mouth evenly. Many Oral-B models include a 2-minute timer and 30-second quadrant timer.

- After each use, rinse the brush head thoroughly under running water with the handle switched on for a few seconds.
- Switch off the handle and remove the brush head.
- Rinse both the brush head and the handle separately under running water.

- Caution: Do not immerse the power handle in water beyond what is necessary for rinsing the brush head connection area.
