It isn't 100% perfect all of the time - for example, it would often detect the wrong area of my mouth that I was working on), its accuracy would probably be within the 85-95% range most of the time. The app also helps to keep track of 16 zones in the mouth to make sure that I'm not missing any areas. It coaches me and helps me to do a good job through a variety of two-minute brushing sessions. This app is where users will find all the insights about every brushing session. The IO 9 connects via Bluetooth to the Oral-B app (available for Android and iOS). Red means too much pressure, green is the recommended pressure, and white means low pressure. The pressure sensors are perfect - they not only tell me if I'm pressing too hard or soft, but it also adjusts the speed of the toothbrush to prevent damage. There are seven different brush modes: Daily clean, sensitive, gum care, whiten, intense, super sensitive, and a tongue clean mode. Even my toothbrush is keen to greet me now. The IO 9 toothbrush is built with a combination of pressure sensors that work with the toothbrush head to figure out where you're brushing and analyse how well you're doing the job. It looks pretty much as close to a premium toothbrush as you could possibly imagine, and it does aesthetically pleasing against a predominantly white bathroom backdrop.Įvery pack includes the brush, a charger, a travel case (that can also work as a charger), a case for the toothbrush heads, and 2 Ultimate toothbrush heads (replacements retail for around $40 for a pair). The toothbrush features an interactive colour LCD display and two buttons. The IO 9 toothbrush came in the Black Onyx colour variant. The IO 9 was a huge step up from my cheap but reliable Oral-B Braun (the kind you find on supermarket shelves). I'm no longer left wondering if I apply the right amount of pressure on my teeth, if I've missed certain areas of my mouth and whether I could take more action to protect my gnashers. In my case, it was indeed a reimagining of the very concept of an electric toothbrush. In the words of P-G Health Care CEO Steve Bishop, the IO 9 is a reimagining of how a brush performs, cleans, and feels. Oral-B's IO Series 9 (IO 9) is a smart electric toothbrush that makes the brushing experience so much better because it tells its user how well they are doing, all in real time. My teeth feel clean and look polished, but are they really? Oh, and did I miss any spots? There are countless tooth tools and gadgets, pastes and rinses, washes and treatments on the market - but when it comes down to it, there's one tool that bears the burden of tooth responsibility: the humble toothbrush.īut the downside of almost any toothbrush is that it's hard to tell if I'm doing a good job of brushing. Annual (or biannual) dental checkups are pretty much par and part of being an adult, but unfortunately many of us dental health is a bit of a guessing game. We put our teeth through some pretty harrowing experiences that sometimes land us in the naughty seat at the murder house. In the meantime, I'd advise potential buyers to be a little wary of battery life in the IO 9. I'm not sure whether this is because of user error or a fault and I am investigating the issue. Editor's note: In February 2022, Just eight months after receiving the product for review, I noticed that the toothbrush holds very little charge now (three days at most).
