FAQs
How often should I replace the brush head?
It is recommended to replace your Oral-B iO brush head approximately every three months, or sooner if the bristles become visibly splayed or worn. The toothbrush's refill change alert will also notify you when it's time.
What is the purpose of the iO pressure sensor?
The iO pressure sensor is designed to protect your gums and teeth from excessive brushing force. It uses a lightring to provide real-time feedback: green for optimal pressure, red for too much pressure, and white for too little pressure.
Can I use any Oral-B brush head with the iO 3?
No, the Oral-B iO 3 is only compatible with Oral-B iO series brush heads. Traditional Oral-B brush heads will not fit the iO series handles.
How long does the battery last on a full charge?
The Oral-B iO 3 features a long-lasting Lithium-ion battery. A full charge typically provides multiple days of regular brushing (twice a day for two minutes), though exact duration can vary based on usage patterns and cleaning modes selected.
What is included in the box?
The box typically includes one Oral-B iO 3 Electric Toothbrush handle, one Oral-B iO Ultimate Clean brush head, and one UK 2-pin charging base. Adapter for other plug types is not included.
Is the toothbrush waterproof?
The Oral-B iO 3 handle is water-resistant and designed for use in a wet bathroom environment. However, it should not be submerged in water for extended periods or while charging. The charging base is not waterproof and should be kept dry.
Troubleshooting
Toothbrush won't turn on or hold a charge.
Ensure the toothbrush is properly seated on the charging base. Confirm the charging base is plugged into a functional UK 2-pin outlet. Allow for a full charge (up to 16 hours for the first charge). If the issue persists, try a different outlet.
The pressure sensor lightring is always red.
This indicates you are brushing too hard. Gently reduce the pressure you apply to your teeth and gums until the lightring turns green. Consistent red light means you risk damaging your gums and enamel.
Brush head does not fit the handle.
Ensure you are using an Oral-B iO series brush head. The iO series has a unique magnetic coupling and is not compatible with standard Oral-B brush heads.
Toothbrush stops working before 2 minutes.
Check the battery level; it might be low. Recharge the toothbrush fully. If the battery is full and it still stops, ensure you are not applying excessive pressure, which can sometimes trigger an auto-shutoff mechanism or indicate a fault. If problems continue, refer to your warranty information.
Reduced cleaning effectiveness.
Ensure your brush head is not old or worn; replace it every three months or when the refill change alert indicates. Make sure you are using the correct cleaning mode for your needs and brushing for the full two minutes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper setup, compatibility, and care ensure your Oral-B iO 3 provides optimal performance and longevity.
Initial Setup
- Charge the Toothbrush: Before first use, place the toothbrush handle on the charging base. It is recommended to charge it fully for at least 12-16 hours. The charging indicator will provide feedback on the battery level.
- Attach the Brush Head: Gently push an Oral-B iO series brush head onto the handle's shaft until it clicks into place.
- First Use: Wet the brush head and apply a pea-sized amount of toothpaste. Place the brush head in your mouth before turning it on to avoid splashing.
Compatibility
- Brush Heads: The Oral-B iO 3 is exclusively compatible with Oral-B iO series brush heads. Other Oral-B brush heads (e.g., CrossAction, Precision Clean) are not compatible with the iO series handles due to different fitting mechanisms.
- Charger: The provided charger is a UK 2-pin charger. If you are in a region with a different plug type, you will need to acquire a suitable adapter.
Product Care & Maintenance
- Cleaning the Brush Head: After each use, rinse the brush head thoroughly under running water with the toothbrush switched on for a few seconds. Then, remove the brush head and rinse both the brush head and the upper part of the handle separately.
- Cleaning the Handle: Wipe the handle clean with a damp cloth periodically. Do not submerge the handle in water.
- Cleaning the Charger: Unplug the charger before cleaning. Wipe it with a damp cloth. Ensure it is completely dry before plugging it back in.
- Storing: Store your toothbrush and charger in a cool, dry place when not in use.
- Replacing Brush Heads: Replace your brush head approximately every three months, or sooner if the bristles are splayed or worn, or if the refill change alert indicates it's time. This ensures continued effective cleaning.
