Compare the Oral-B iO series 3, 4, 5, and 6

The most advanced series of Oral-B toothbrushes is the Oral-B iO series. Every Oral-B iO toothbrush has a smart pressure sensor and a smartphone app. The differences are in the way the pressure sensor works, the number of brushing modes, the display, and the accessories. We'll give you an overview of the Oral-B series 3 to 6 for you, so you can make the best choice.

Oral-B iO series 3, 4, 5, and 6

Pressure sensor method

Oral-B iO 6 pressure sensor

iO 6: light signal, app, and rotation delay

The Oral-B iO 6 improves your brushing pressure in 3 ways. When you brush, the multi-colored light signal indicates when you apply too much or too little pressure. With a green light, you brush exactly right, and with a red light, you brush too hard. You'll get more insight into the brushing pressure of your brushing session via the app. These models also slow down the rotation of the brush when you push too hard.
