CES 2022: Oral-B Unveils Three New iPhone-Connected iO Smart Toothbrushes

Future students will look back and select this example of technology that does not need to exist. Overkill.
 
How long is it going to be before health insurance companies start demanding that policy holders wear and use 'smart' devices as part of their health care plan and if the 'smart' device fails to register that it has been used in x amount of days, the policy get's terminated.
 
I was skeptical of the iO9 mostly because of the price and why does it need to be connected. But I wouldn't go back now. I've had regular tooth brushes, "dumb" electric tooth brushes including other oral Bs, sonicares and Quips, and the iO9 has been by far the best tooth brush I've ever had in terms of teeth cleaning. The coaching actually has been helpful since using an electric tooth brush improperly can damage gums or enamel - I didn't know this until my dentist and I spoke about my tooth brush and how I was frustrated how it gets you to move slowly across your teeth instead of brushing more traditionally.

Luckily I got it on a costco sale. Now that I have it, I wouldn't blink to buying another one at normal price. I'm hoping this one will last 10 years like my last oral b did though.

dumbing down society. I used thees electric toothbrushes and spent teh money on the heads. Then I had ot get a toothbrush while out of town and grabbed a $5 quality toothbrush. it worked wonderful and my teeth felt much cleaner in less time brushing than ever before. I retired my electric toothbrushes. they aren't any better then the new top end basic toothbrushes and if lost who cares. less crap to carry.

The only “innovation” in toothbrushing I’ve ever noticed is the brushes with rubber bits in them for polishing. I went from one of those to a wooden (environmentally more sound) brush and noticed a lack of smooth tooth surface. I hate plastic being used for everygoddamnedthing, but I might go back to those brushes if they’re still made. Toothbrushes are one of those products where the same thing cannot be bought again because they arbitrarily change the whole lineup every few months.

All the boomers talking smack have clearly never used one of Oral B's connected toothbrushes. And probably don't have any teeth, either.

My pre-IO Oral-B Genius 8000 gives me a dentist-like clean, every day. It was worth every penny. The downside is after the app's redesign, the position tracking went down the tubes, and sometimes doesn't register that I'm brushing the teeth on my left side.

Software obsoletes every gadget before the gadget wears out. Screw that.

Does this save you money from having to go to the dentist over a manual toothbrush? If not, then I don’t see the point other than luxury.

I haven’t gone to a dentist for years.

1. Poverty.
2. Oral hygienists have literally damaged my roots with their **** scaling technique.
3. I floss and brush *at least* once, daily. Also after meals is a good idea.
4. I scale my own teeth with far more safety and care than oral hygienists ever did.
5. Dentists kept harassing me to get my receded gums grafted, and there’s literally no way I can afford that, plus the elimination of gingivitis halted the gum disease.
6. Horrifying new “deep cleaning techniques” have begun to be pushed (according to my mother, who’s been to a dentist more recently than myself) that literally involves cutting into your gums to clean under them and then close them up again. This is invasive insanity for “cleaning”.
