Brushing Technique
Apply a small amount of toothpaste to the brush head. Place the brush head against your teeth at a slight angle towards the gum line. Gently move the brush across your teeth, allowing the sonic vibrations to do the work. Do not scrub aggressively. Divide your mouth into four quadrants and spend 30 seconds on each, guided by the timer pauses.
Maintenance
Cleaning the Toothbrush
- After each use, rinse the brush head thoroughly under running water.
- Wipe the toothbrush handle with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the handle in water for extended periods, despite its water resistance.
- Ensure the charging base is kept dry and clean.
Charging
When the battery indicator light signals low power, place the toothbrush on its USB rechargeable base. The indicator light will show charging status and turn green when fully charged. Avoid overcharging by unplugging the charger once fully charged, especially for prolonged periods.
