The Best Brushing Modes for Different Teeth TypesJan 14
Jan 14
Not all teeth are the same—and neither should your brushing routine be. Whether you have sensitive teeth, wear orthodontics, or simply want a deeper clean, smart toothbrushes now offer tailored modes to meet individual oral care needs. Understanding these modes helps you maximize brushing results while protecting your enamel, gums, and restorations.
Why Brushing Modes Matter
Modern electric toothbrushes go beyond a single-speed setting. They come with brushing modes designed to adjust:
• Speed
• Vibration intensity
• Motion pattern
• Duration
These tailored settings enhance cleaning without over-brushing or damaging delicate areas. Choosing the right mode ensures effective plaque removal, comfort, and oral safety—especially for people with unique dental conditions.
Best Brushing Modes by Teeth Type
1. Sensitive Teeth
Recommended Mode: Sensitive Mode
This gentle mode reduces vibration intensity and speed, offering a soothing experience for those with sensitivity to pressure or temperature. It helps avoid gum recession and enamel wear.
💡 BrushO Tip: Use BrushO’s sensitive mode in combination with a soft bristle head and monitor pressure alerts to prevent over-brushing.
2. Crowded or Crooked Teeth
Recommended Mode: Deep Clean Mode
Crowded teeth are harder to clean thoroughly. A deep clean mode provides high-frequency vibrations and longer brushing time to reach tight spaces and remove stubborn plaque.
💡 BrushO Tip: BrushO’s app-guided 6-zone, 16-surface feedback ensures these hard-to-reach areas aren’t missed.
3. Braces or Orthodontic Appliances
Recommended Mode: Ortho Mode (or Deep Clean if Ortho Mode is unavailable)
Brushing around wires and brackets requires precision. A mode with a pulsing or oscillating pattern helps clean behind hardware without applying excessive force.
💡 BrushO Tip: Use BrushO’s AI feedback to identify neglected spots around brackets and set reminders for post-meal brushing.
4. Teeth with Veneers, Crowns, or Implants
Recommended Mode: Gentle or Sensitive Mode
These surfaces require careful cleaning to protect the margins without scratching materials or irritating gum tissue.
💡 BrushO Tip: BrushO’s pressure sensor ensures delicate areas around restorations are protected during daily use.
5. Stained or Discolored Teeth
Recommended Mode: Whitening Mode
This mode uses rapid vibrations and a polishing motion to help lift surface stains, especially from coffee, wine, or tobacco.
💡 BrushO Tip: Combine whitening mode with a low-abrasion whitening toothpaste and BrushO’s 45-second feedback loop to prevent overuse.
6. Healthy Teeth and Gums
Recommended Mode: Standard or Daily Clean Mode
For general maintenance, this balanced mode delivers consistent vibration and coverage, ideal for everyday brushing.
💡 BrushO Tip: Rotate modes weekly to stimulate different areas of the mouth and enhance gum health.
