The future of brushing is here
If you’ve ever wondered whether upgrading your toothbrush could really make a difference, the Oral-B iO toothbrush series proves it can.
As a hygienist, I see hundreds of mouths every year, and the difference in gum health and plaque levels since patients switched to the iO has been incredible. This technology genuinely helps you achieve that fresh from the dentist clean every single day.
Here’s what makes the Oral-B iO my top recommendation for patients looking to take their daily brushing to the next level.
What makes the Oral-B iO series so special
The iO isn’t just an upgrade — it’s a complete redesign of how a toothbrush works.
It uses a magnetic drive system to deliver micro-vibrations that glide smoothly over each tooth for a quieter, more effective clean. The rounded brush head gently hugs every tooth and cleans right along the gumline, which is the area most people miss when brushing manually.
This combination of precision and comfort means patients are cleaning more thoroughly, yet with less pressure — exactly what we aim for in good oral hygiene.
Why the iO 4 is my favourite starting point
I personally recommend the Oral-B iO 4 as the first model to look at. It offers everything that truly matters: smart pressure control, the magnetic motor, and an exceptional brushing feel — all without the high price tag of the top models.
It’s simple, powerful, and has become my go-to recommendation for patients wanting to make a serious upgrade without overspending.
What changes as you move up the range
As you move through the iO line, more technology and convenience features are added — but the core cleaning performance remains the same.
| Model | Key Features |
|---|---|
| iO 4 / 5 | Excellent cleaning performance, smart pressure sensor, core modes |
| iO 6 – 8 | Colour display, app connectivity, extra modes |
| iO 9 / 10 | Real-time 3D tracking, automatic charging stand, premium finish |
Each model step adds useful extras like interactive screens or app feedback, but for most people, the iO 4 already delivers everything needed for noticeably better oral hygiene.
Quick takeaway: why hygienists love the iO 4
-
Deep yet gentle clean with advanced micro-vibrations
-
Noticeably improved gum health and plaque removal
-
Excellent value — professional performance at a lower cost
Real results we’re seeing at 123 Dental
Since we began recommending the iO range, we’ve seen huge improvements at recall visits: cleaner teeth, healthier gums, and fewer bleeding points.
Patients often tell us their teeth feel cleaner for longer, and they’re genuinely excited to show off their results at their next hygiene appointment.
If you’d like to experience similar results, you can book a check-up and clean at 123 Dental to see how the right toothbrush and professional care work hand-in-hand.
But they can be expensive…
It’s true…. some models in the range can be pricey. However, not everyone needs the most advanced (and most expensive) versions.
The iO 4 strikes the perfect balance between clinical performance and value for money, giving you a professional-grade clean without the premium cost.
