This light also indicates whether you're applying enough pressure while brushing – green means good pressure, red means too high, and if it returns to your chosen color, you're pressing too lightly or not at all. The first time you use the brush, you'll be prompted to select a color for the illuminated band around the bottom of the brush head. The Oral-B iO Series 6 offers Bluetooth connectivity so you can receive real-time feedback on your brushing through the Oral-B app (available for Android or iOS), but it's a pleasure to use even without this. The Oral-B iO Series 9 has a smart pressure sensor that detects not only when you're pressing too hard, but also when you're being too gentle (Image credit: Future) The Oral-B app lets you track how long you've been using your current brush head, and will remind you to re-order when it's coming towards the end of its life (a useful touch). It takes Oral-B's iO Gentle Care and Ultimate Clean brush heads, which have densely packed bristles that fit around the curvature of each tooth. The handle has a smooth finish and, although not the lightest around, is evenly weighted and comfortable in the hand. The iO Series 6 has Oral-B's latest motor, which is extremely quiet and allows the brush to glide smoothly across your teeth. We were enormously impressed by the performance of the Oral-B iO Series 9, and the Series 6 is basically identical, from first impressions to final testing. It's not quite as sleek, and means you have to be careful to avoid toothpaste and water residue building up inside the bottom of the handle, but does mean you're not going to accidentally knock the brush from its base with a clumsy swipe of your hand (a problem we've sometimes had with magnetic bases). The iO Series 9 has a smart magnetic charging puck that keeps your brush in place, while the iO Series 6 has a more traditional charger, with a peg that fits into a recess in the bottom of the brush handle.

Using the iO doesn’t mean you can skip trips to the dentist or hygienist - they do more than simply drill, fill and clean. The result? A thorough clean: powerful yet gentle. It makes the brush much quieter than normal, and translates to gliding micro vibrations over the teeth for effective plaque removal and an altogether superior cleaning experience.
