Oral-B Smart 4 Electric Toothbrushes For Adults, Christmas Gifts For Women / Him, App Connected Handle, 2 Toothbrush Heads & Travel Case, 3 Modes with Teeth Whitening, 2 Pin UK Plug, 4000N, White

Product Information

Buy the Genius 9000 and although you have to power the brush on to change the cleaning mode, if you have changed the mode, it will remember it. Next time you power the brush on, it will begin in that mode. The Oral-B Smart 4000 CrossAction electric toothbrush does not do this.

In our testing, we were able to get 66 minutes of usage time from the rush, which equates to 16 days use. Both brushes have the same cleaning modes available, but the brush heads that come included does differ slightly. There is the reality that most of us don’t need over a weeks battery life, but there is something to be said for having the ability to take a brush away on holiday and not having to worry about charging it! Just relieve the pressure and the light will go out and the motor power up again. Just remember to let the bristles essentially glide across the tooth surfaces. The idea behind this connectivity is to essentially be a little like having a dentist or hygienist looking over your shoulder saying good, bad, brush for longer, you missed a bit. It is about education for better cleaning rather than telling you that you have got it all wrong.

Each of the 3 cleaning modes work slightly differently, with differing levels of oscillations, rotations and pulsations to achieve different cleaning effects on the teeth. The heads are interchangeable, so you can select your preferred head and use it with any of the cleaning modes, although some work best with particular modes. I understand why though. If it did, there is no way of showing what mode it is on, unless you use the app. A little extra that the Smart 4 comes with is a brush head stand. This is a white plastic module that clips around the charging stand with 2 prongs on, onto which brush heads can be placed.

This means that the LED sat behind the panel lights up. You get a bright red light that you won’t fail to notice. Because it logs your brushing sessions, it holds you accountable a bit more as you can see when you have, or perhaps have not brushed. Official Oral-B brush heads are recommended and they all have something known as indicator bristles. These are Blue coloured bristles that will over a 3 month period gradually discolour. It is a little harsher/aggressive feeling than a Sonicare or Colgate brush. Whilst this is not exactly the best way of rating a clean of the teeth, it really feels like it has done something.Prices will vary from store to store. Quite often online retailers will have the best price, but promotions run by high street stores at certain times of the year will see them come inline or cheaper than other retailers. Whilst not essential, it would be nice if Oral-B included some form of smartphone stand with the 4000. There is no denying that this brush cleans the teeth and mouth well. It offers a pretty decent battery life, whilst also looking fairly good and feeling solid and slim in hand.
