2 Place the toothbrush bristles against the teeth
at a slight angle towards the gumline.
3 Press the power on/off button to switch on the
Sonicare.
4 Apply light pressure to maximize Sonicare’s
effectiveness and let the Sonicare toothbrush
do the brushing for you. Do not scrub.
5 Gently move the brush head slowly across
the teeth in a small back and forth motion so
the longer bristles reach between your teeth.
Continue this motion throughout the brushing
cycle.
Note: To make sure you brush evenly throughout the
mouth, divide your mouth into 4 sections using the
Quadpacer feature (see chapter ‘Features’).
6 Brush each section for 30 seconds. Begin
brushing in section 1 (outside top teeth)
and then brush section 2 (inside top teeth).
Continue with section 3 (outside bottom
teeth) and nally brush section 4 (inside
bottom teeth).
7 After you have completed the 2-minute
brushing cycle, you can spend additional
time brushing the chewing surfaces of your
teeth and areas where staining occurs. You may
also brush your tongue, with the toothbrush
switched on or off, as you prefer.
Your Sonicare is safe to use on:
- Braces (brush heads wear out sooner when used
on braces)
- Dental restorations (llings, crowns, veneers)
