Oral-B iO Series 5 Electric Toothbrush with Brush Head - Ultimate White

A: That's a great question. It depends on what kind of brush your family member has, so to get further assistance, please call us at 800-566-7252.

A: Yes, you can as long as both refill heads are for an iO. There are even different markings on the refill heads

A: It has a linear magnetic drive so all the concentration is in the round brush head and not in the handle.

A: This toothbrush is from our iO Series.

A: It appears that the difference is the included brush head. One focuses on healthy teeth and gums and the other focuses on ultimate white teeth.

A: They added purple to the bristles

A: The Oral-B iO3 and iO5 both provide a great clean. The main difference is that the iO5 includes extra features like an LED mode display, position detection, 5 cleaning modes, and comes with a basic travel case.

A: Great question, Katherine. Length without refill: 18.3 cm Length with refill: 23.9 cm

A: The brush heads for the iO series brushes use a combination of oscillating rotation and micro-vibrations.

A: All Oral-B electric and battery power toothbrushes can be used by those with bridges, implants, crowns, veneers, or fillings. However, we recommend using a slower cleaning mode for even better control. If you wear dentures, please consult with your dental professional or the denture manufacturer before using a power toothbrush.

A: There is no clear answer as the exact run time is highly depending on the individual brushing behavior. Factors like brushing frequency, duration, over-pressure applied during brushing and to which extend the different features (e.g. the interactive display) are used can of course influence the battery run time.

A: The power button will light up to let you know there is low battery.

A: For the iO the movement frequency is the same across all modes (145 Hz). This may changed based on the brushes movement angle.
