ORAL- BIO 8

The iO-8 is considerably more expensive than its closest competitor but for that, you do get a lot of cleaning power, cutting-edge technology and a travel case that stores everything neatly. A colour, interactive display is situated perfectly on the handle to give you battery info, change cleaning modes etc.

Six cleaning modes include Intense, Daily Clean, Gum Care, Whitening, Super sensitive and the “AI” part of the promise is manifested in the form of tracking zones in your mouth in real-time. With just two buttons on the device, it’s an easy menu to learn and it’s almost entirely washable.

If you’re new to electric brushes, the first session will rattle your skull. That’s how powerful the circular brush head is! Designed by Braun, it changes the angle of the bristles with different modes and really does leave you with a cleaner feeling mouth at the end of each session. Plaque build-up is visibly reduced too.

The accuracy of the AI-tracking is a hit or a miss and the visuals on the app might not always coincide with what your effort was but overall, as a toothbrush, it definitely stamps its superiority over any non-electric contraption.

The rounded design and the dentist-recommended circular brush head is great for hard-to reach corners of your mouth. Emoji faces let you know if your brushing time was acceptable.
