If your budget can stand it, though, this is an extremely well-designed electric toothbrush that will have a real impact on how you clean your teeth, and will help set you up with better habits that can have a long-term effect on your oral health.

Additional brush heads are also pricey, and the iO Series 9 isn't compatible with heads from older models, so you won't be able to use your spares if you're upgrading from a different Oral-B brush. The downside of the Oral-B iO Series 9 is that it's one of the most expensive electric toothbrushes around, though its price has dropped significantly in the months since its release and you can now pick it up far more cheaply. When you're done, you'll get a report on your performance, and you can earn badges and awards along the way.

This will detect which section of your mouth you're currently brushing, with graphics that update in real-time to show when you've thoroughly cleaned each surface.
