Oral-B iO 5 Forest Green

With this toothbrush you give your teeth the care they deserve. You can brush your teeth with 5 different brushing modes, and each brushing mode has its own function. After brushing, you can even get feedback about your brushing via the app. You just have to connect it before brushing your teeth.

brushing modes I really liked using the different brushing modes on this toothbrush. On the front of the toothbrush you can see which brushing mode is on by means of a light. I mainly used the brushing mode for sensitive teeth, because it is slightly less harsh. The other brushing modes are a daily cleaning, a sensitive brushing mode, an intense brushing mode and a mode for extra white teeth. Very nice to control your toothbrush as you wish while brushing.

Brush head I did have to get used to the Ultimate Clean brush head. During brushing, it felt harder than I was used to from the 'old-fashioned' Oral-B Precision Clean brush head. The bristles of the included Ultimate Clean brush head are still quite hard at the beginning and therefore touch your gums. Despite that, you get used to it quickly and it is also nice to feel a difference after switching from your old to a new toothbrush. After a week the bristles against my gums stopped bothering me.

Smartphone app Because this toothbrush is a smart toothbrush, you have the option to connect your toothbrush to the Oral-B app via your phone. It's nice to get feedback after your brushing about where you should brush better, for example. This makes brushing your teeth a lot less boring and at the same time a fun challenge. Of course you want the best score after your brushing. You also see the brushing pressure sensor on both the toothbrush and in the app. After you have received feedback, you can therefore improve the quality of your brushing by keeping in mind which areas you should brush better or that you should put less pressure, for example. The only thing you need to keep in mind is that you have to grab your phone before brushing your teeth. Your phone is then connected to the toothbrush via bluetooth and via the app.

I'm a big fan! The app ensures that you will enjoy brushing your teeth to achieve the best possible score and earn medals! In addition, the accessories, the case and brush holder, are very nicely designed and work perfectly!

You really shouldn't write a review until after two years. I bought a great one because my third Philips Sonicare toothbrush broke down (this time after two months), so I hope this one lasts longer.
