• When you place your handle on the
charger base and plug the base into
an electrical outlet, the blue charge
indicator will light up. While charging,
the light blinks. Once the handle is fully
charged, the light will stop blinking and
shine continuously. If you then use your
brush and place it back on the charger,
the charging light will again blink to let
you know it is charging.
• A full charge lasts for approximately two
weeks of regular brushing, so you can
easily take your Oral-B
Sonic Complete with you on vacation.
Please note: Assumes the handle is
used by one individual, twice
a day for the dentist recommended
2-minute brushing time.
• Your Oral-B Sonic Complete is
designed to provide you with an
effective clean consistently. If the battery
has run too low to provide this clean,
your brush will stop.
• We recommend keepingyour brush on
the charger base when not in use to
maintain a full batterycharge.If your
rechargeable battery does run down
completely, it will take about 16 hours
for your Oral-B Sonic Complete to fully
charge.
• To maintain the maximum capacity of
the rechargeable battery, you should
fully discharge it at least once every
6 months. To do this, unplug the charger
base and allow the battery to run down
with normal use.
Refer to the bottom of the charger base
for voltage specifications.

• Slide the brushhead on the handle.
There will be a tiny space (2 mm or
1/16 in.) between the brushhead and
the handle. This is to allow for a full
range of motion for the many brush-
head movements.
• Place the brushhead in your mouth
before turning on your
Oral-B Sonic Complete.
• Angle the bristles toward the gumline
(see diagram).
• Hold the handle with a light grip and
turn your Oral-B Sonic Complete on.
• Move the brushhead in a slightly
circular motion, similar to a manual
toothbrush. Allow the longer interdental
bristles to reach between your teeth,
while the CrissCross bristles focus on
cleaning the tooth surface and gumline
regions.
• After a few seconds, guide the bristles
to the next section and pause while
you gently circulate the bristles again.
• Adjust your brushing, so that you
keep as many bristles in contact with
your teeth as possible. Don’t forget to
reach all areas, including the inner and
chewing surfaces, and behind the
back teeth.
• Your toothbrush automatically begins
vibrating in the «Clean» mode. To shift
from the «Clean» mode to the «Soft»
mode, push the on/off button once
more.
• If you wish to turn your
Oral-B Sonic Complete off in the
«Clean» or «Soft» mode, push and
hold down the on/off button.
Remember to floss daily.
You may experience a slight tickling or
tingling sensation when you first use
Oral-B Sonic Complete.
This will subside as your teeth and
gums become accustomed to the
Oral-B Sonic Complete cleaning
experience.

I have sensitive teeth and gums.
What is the best way to brush with
my Oral-B Sonic Complete?
If you have sensitive teeth and gums,
plan for a 1-2 week adjustment
period to your Oral-B
Sonic Complete. During this time,
we recommend using the «Soft»
mode.
How can I best remove coffee, tea
or tobacco stains?
Your Oral-B Sonic Complete is
clinically proven to remove stains for
naturally whiter teeth. It is 25 % more
effective than sonicare Elite1.
For heavy stains, we recommend
brushing slightly longer to aid in their
removal.
My dentist told me I have
gingivitis.
Can my Oral-B Sonic Complete
help?
Yes. Oral-B Sonic Complete has
been clinically proven to help
control and even reverse gingivitis.
Proper brushing for the right
amount of time is key to fighting
gingivitis.
Oral-B Sonic Complete includes
both the Professional Timer as
well as the 2-Minute Timer. The
Professional Timer lets you know
when to move to the next quadrant
of your mouth, so that you brush
all four quadrants of your mouth
equally and the 2-Minute Timer
signals when the brushing
time recommended by dental
professionals has passed.
Can children use
Oral-B Sonic Complete?
Yes. Children under 3 should use the
product under parental supervision
to ensure that all teeth and areas of
the mouth are properly cleaned. We
recommend using the «Soft» mode
of brushing on children's teeth, as
this mode is specially designed for
more delicate tooth and gum areas.
Someone in my family wears
braces.
What is the recommended
way to brush with
Oral-B Sonic Complete?
Gently place the brush at an angle
between the brackets and gums.
Move the brush in a light circular
motion to clean both the brackets
and teeth.
I have bridges, crowns and fillings
in my mouth. What is the best
way to brush with my
Oral-B Sonic Complete?
Like all Oral-B power toothbrushes,
Oral-B Sonic Complete can be
used by people with bridges,
implants and crowns. We recom-
mend using the «Clean» mode to
effectively remove plaque and
bacteria and improve gum health.

One of my family members has a
heart pacemaker. Can he or she
use Oral-B Sonic Complete?
Your Oral-B Sonic Complete is
believed to be safe with many
common pacemakers. However, if
you have any questions concerning
usage with a pacemaker, consult
your physician or pacemaker
manufacturer prior to use.
I have recently had oral surgery.
Can I use Oral-B Sonic Complete?
You should always follow the
instructions given by your oral
surgeon or periodontist after an
operation. Typically in the first few
days following surgery, teeth and
gums may be too sensitive for any
toothbrush use. As quickly as your
teeth and gums heal to permit
brushing, you can proceed with
using Oral-B Sonic Complete.
The powerful plaque removal
capability of Oral-B Sonic Complete
will be particularly beneficial, as a
clean mouth will aid the healing
process.
