towards the gumline.

4 Apply light pressure to maximize Sonicare’s effectiveness and let the

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 your brushing cycle.

into 4 sections using the Quadpacer feature (see chapter ‘Features’).

30 seconds before moving to section 2 (inside top teeth). Continue
brushing in section 3 (outside bottom teeth) and brush for
30 seconds before moving to section 4 (inside bottom teeth).
7 After you have completed the 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 turned on or off, as you prefer.
Your Sonicare is safe to use on:
Braces (brush heads wear out sooner when used on braces)

Note:The toothbrush may be turned off at any time by pressing and holding
the power on/off button for 2 seconds.
