Testfakta tested five app-supported premium electric toothbrushes. The test winner was chosen as Oral-B iO 10.

Oral-B iO 10 – professional-level cleanliness easily at home

The Oral-B iO 10 is an electric toothbrush that combines advanced technology with features based on dental recommendations, offering perfect oral hygiene at home. The iO series has been developed in collaboration with dentists, and its round brush head mimics the professional cleaning tool used by dentists. This makes the iO series highly effective in plaque removal and improves both teeth and gum health. The easy-to-use and intuitive iO 10 guides you to optimal brushing every time.

Micro-vibration technology and round, dentist-inspired brush head

Oral-B iO brushes utilize micro-vibration technology and a round brush head, which together provide more precise and effective plaque removal compared to conventional electric toothbrushes. This round shape closely follows the contours of teeth and gums and prevents gum damage, making cleaning both effective and gentle.

AI-powered 3D tracking

The Oral-B iO 10’s 3D AI tracking acts as a personal guide during brushing, ensuring every part of the mouth receives thorough cleaning. The brush divides the mouth into 16 zones and analyzes your movements in real time, guiding you to clean each zone thoroughly. The brush’s LED lights and OLED color display show which part of the mouth you are in and provide feedback on when to move to the next area.

Smart app support and real-time feedback

Pair the iO 10 toothbrush with the Oral-B app via Bluetooth to receive real-time brushing guidance directly on your phone. The app monitors your brushing technique, provides feedback on cleaning each mouth zone, reminds you to change the brush head, and guides optimal brushing pressure. This makes daily oral hygiene easy and effective.

iO Sense smart charger and intuitive OLED color display

The iO Sense smart charger not only charges the brush but also offers real-time guidance during brushing. The charger’s LED lights precisely indicate which part of the mouth you are in and direct you to move to the next zone at the right time. The OLED color display shows brushing mode, battery status, and reminds you to change the brush head, making usage even smoother.

Smart pressure sensor – optimal brushing pressure

Oral-B iO’s smart pressure sensor ensures you apply just the right amount of pressure. Colored indicator lights guide you to the correct pressure: green light indicates optimal pressure, red warns of excessive pressure, and white prompts you to increase pressure. This visual support helps keep brushing gentle yet effective and reflects dentists’ recommendations.

Choose from 7 brushing modes

Oral-B iO 10 offers seven brushing modes to suit your needs:

• Daily Clean: Effective for everyday use, removes plaque and maintains oral health.
• Whitening: Brightens your smile and removes surface stains.
• Gum Care: Pampering gums with massaging movements, supporting gum health.
• Super Sensitive: Especially gentle setting for sensitive gums and teeth.
• Gentle: A soft option offering a slightly more intensive clean than Super Sensitive.
• Intensive: High-intensity deep cleaning, especially for plaque buildup.
• Tongue Cleaning: Removes bacteria from the tongue’s surface and freshens breath.

Perfect oral hygiene anywhere

The iO 10 is also travel-friendly: the included charging case and brush head holder ensure the toothbrush is always ready for use and easy to pack.

Long-term investment in oral health

The Oral-B iO 10 is designed to last and ensure professional-level oral health maintenance. The two-year warranty and replaceable brush heads make this a long-term investment in your oral hygiene.

How to use the iO 10 toothbrush

1. Attach the brush head and select mode: Attach your desired brush head and select the appropriate mode, such as whitening or gum care.
2. Hold the brush at the correct angle: Hold the brush head at about a 45-degree angle to your teeth and gums. This helps achieve a perfect clean while protecting the gums.
3. Start brushing zone by zone: The iO’s 3D AI tracking divides the mouth into 16 zones and guides you to clean each area thoroughly.
4. Watch the pressure sensor lights: Green means optimal pressure, red means too much, and white reminds you to increase pressure.
5. Brush for the recommended 2 minutes: The iO reminds you every 30 seconds to move to a new area, ensuring each part is carefully cleaned.

These features reflect dentists’ recommendations and make the iO series a popular choice among both professionals and consumers.
