Oral-B Genius 9600 Electric Toothbrush

Product Information

There is no one thing about the iO that really justifies the price tag, but when you add it all up: the micro-vibration technology, the smoother clean, the quiet motor, decent battery, LED display… you end up with a toothbrush that's fun to use and leaves your teeth feeling great. The Oral-B Genius 9600 rechargeable electric toothbrush comes with everything you need, including a toothbrush handle, three brush heads, a charging stand, a power cord, a travel case, and a smartphone holder. Go into the Oral-B application, open the ‘More’ menu. Select the ‘Your Brush’ and you should be taken to the ‘Handle’ section of that screen. For example, you also have to consider your technique – how you brush with an electric toothbrush. Both types of toothbrush need a different technique to manual toothbrushes. However, the iO’s light ring will also be lit green when the correct brushing pressure is applied. You actually want the green ring to be lit for the full 2 minutes of brushing if you can. You don’t have this on the Genius X.

If you suffer from sensitive teeth or gums, look for toothbrushes that have a sensitivity setting, according to Melissa Seibert, DDS, CEO of the Dental Digest Institute. Some electric toothbrushes have AI technology or pressure sensors that teach you how to brush the right amount and apply the right amount of pressure, says Dr. Seibert. "Brushes with oscillating-rotating technology are a very effective mechanism for delivering a safe, but effective clean," she adds.This mode is often recommended by some dentists as a better option than the Daily Clean as it is not so powerful. Yes, the circular brush head moves side to side and is supported by micro vibrations for extra deep cleaning. Experts recommend changing your brush heads every three to four months. That's because bristles start to wear out and become more abrasive on your gums. Almost all Oral-B brushes have a timer built-in which will give an audible tone via a pause in the brushing at 45 second intervals and then at the end of the 3 minute cycle. It is still of a primarily plastic construction but there is a certain sleekness to the handle as there are smoother lines and less interruptions to the handle, which give it this look.

Oral-B iO vs. Genius vs. Smart vs. Pro: Differences/Specs Oral-B iO vs. Genius vs. Smart vs. Pro: Differences/Specs

Yes, there is an 8 and 7 Series that are marginally cheaper, but I am focusing on the top of the line model here. Although not present in all electric toothbrushes Oral-B manufacture, the vast majority have what Oral-B call a professional timer. The differences are summarized below, but a more detailed explanation of the differences, can be found in the following table lists. The Genius 9000 definitely likes to show how smart it is by flaunting the capabilities built into its handle, but it’s just not as refined as the iO, which we have to say is unbeatable in terms of toothbrush design.This hopefully helps explains what each mode means and how exactly the brushing modes differ. Oral-B cleaning modes comparison chart The number of oscillations and pulsations of each Oral-B toothbrush can vary. Typically the more premium the model the higher the number. The Cross Action, FlossAction, Deep Sweep or Precision Clean brush heads are most suitable for this cleaning mode. Yes, they are different but don’t worry too much about these. Ultimately the differences are subtle. The likes of the intense mode is basically a renamed Pro Clean mode. The principle is that you spend 30 seconds for each quadrant of the mouth (upper right, upper left, lower right and lower left).

At the end of the 2 minute cleaning cycle, the motor in the brush pauses and restarts briefly three times. Changing settings mid-brush requires stopping the brush, interrupting the flow of the brushing experience. Almost all Oral-B brushes have a timer built-in which will give an audible tone via a pause in the brushing at 30 second intervals and then at the end of the 3 minute cycle. The number of times the brush head oscillates does depend on the model of the toothbrush you are using.Extra modes can potentially provide benefits for some people, particularly those with an oral healthcare goal in mind. Electric toothbrushes can be as basic as simply having an on-off switch or come equipped with several brushing modes and a slew of additional features (even apps) that can either improve the experience or complicate it. Certain factors—like sensitivity alerts, interval timers, brush shapes, and ergonomic design—can set one electric toothbrush apart from another. But one thing that the dentists we spoke to agreed on is that soft bristles are best for removing plaque and preventing cavitieswithout damaging your teeth or gums.
