When your toothbrush smiles at you, you know you’ve done a good job brushing. At least that’s what my new Oral-B iO 8 Power Toothbrush does, and it will even wish me a good morning, good night, and give me a timer for my brushing sessions.
I’ve been brushing with the Oral-B iO 8 Power Toothbrush for a few weeks and I’m such a huge fan of this toothbrush. It honestly feels like my teeth have been professionally cleaned every day, and with the timer right on the toothbrush, I know exactly when I can stop brushing.
The Oral-B iO 8 Power Toothbrush is even better if you use it with the Oral-B app, and you can see in real-time each area of your mouth as you brush it.

Testing Oral-B iO 8 Power Toothbrush
My teeth feel so incredibly clean after using this toothbrush for a few weeks, and there are more than a few features on the Oral-B iO 8 Power Toothbrush that make it a must-have.
Oral-B iO 8 Power Toothbrush uses micro-vibrations
Oral-B’s dentist-inspired round brush head is designed specifically to pair with Oral-B’s new iO Magnetic technology. That technology directs the drive system in the toothbrush to funnel cleaning energy into every single bristle.
Because you get micro-vibrating bristles on your brush head, you can target every square inch of your teeth and gums. The result for me, when I brushed with it, was that I could really feel the tingle when I was finished. If you set the toothbrush on Intense and brush for two minutes, your teeth will feel like you’ve just left the dentist after a cleaning. It’s pretty amazing.
On-board screen lets you change settings right on the brush
I think every toothbrush needs a small display screen. I had no idea how useful it was until I started using the Oral-B iO 8 Power Toothbrush. When you turn it on in the morning the screen greets you with a “Good Morning.” You can tap the button to select your brushing mode, and once you start brushing a timer will start counting down. The toothbrush will vibrate a few times when you’ve reached two minutes, and it will vibrate once when it’s time to switch sides.
I’ve always felt like two minutes is a long time when brushing, but time just flies when you’re brushing with the Oral-B iO 8 Power Toothbrush. I’ve averaged over two minutes every time I’ve used it.
There is a setting button that lets you switch through different options on the brush, and you can even switch up the colour of your LED. There are also multiple modes you can switch through including Daily Clean and Whitening. I used Intense most as I like how it made my gums tingle, but Daily Clean is also pretty powerful. If you have sensitive teeth and gums, you can choose sensitive mode for a softer brush.
Pressure sensor protects your gums
The pressure sensor that’s built into the Oral-B iO 8 Power Toothbrush is really useful. The handle will flash from the colour you choose, in my case pink, to green if you are using the right amount of pressure. If you’re brushing too hard your toothbrush will flash red.
If you brush in front of a mirror like most people do, it’s impossible to miss the flashing red. It’s a great way to teach you to lighten up on your gums.

The Oral-B iO 8 Power Toothbrush uses Bluetooth to connect to the Oral-B app on your smartphone. Once you’ve set up the app you can turn on your toothbrush and see which areas of your mouth you’ve covered in real-time. I’ve seen that feature on toothbrushes before, but with the Oral-B iO 8 Power Toothbrush you can see how you’re brushing in real-time right on the app. With a view of each section of your mouth, you can scrub each tooth until it sparkles.
It’s really motivating to brush with the app open and watch how well you cover your virtual mouth, and it takes about 2 1/2 minutes to get every corner. At the end of your brush session, the app will ask you if your gums are bleeding, if you’ve flossed, and if you brushed your tongue. It will track that info so you will have a log of when you had brushing issues or how consistent you are with your flossing.
The first thing I pictured when I saw how the app logs flossing was that I could pull out my app the next time I went to the dentist. When they ask me if I floss enough, I’ve got the proof right on my phone.
I love the travel case and magnetic charger that comes with the Oral-B iO 8 Power Toothbrush. It makes it easy to carry your toothbrush with you when you leave home.
It takes less than three hours to charge the Oral-B iO 8, and after two weeks of using it twice a day, I still have a 70% charge.
Should you choose the Oral-B iO8 Power Toothbrush?
The Oral-B iO 8 Power Toothbrush is hands-down the best toothbrush I’ve ever used. I love the display right on the brush, and I love how you get real-time updates via the app and the brush on how you’re brushing. I almost always open up the app when I’m brushing, just because I love watching how I can make each section sparkle in real-time.
It’s nice that there are new brush heads included with your toothbrush, and you can set a reminder in the app to change it out after a set amount of time. That way your toothbrush is always performing at optimal levels.
Oral-B says that this toothbrush will make your teeth feel like they have been professionally cleaned, and I completely agree with that. Every time I use the intense setting my gums tingle and my teeth shine. I know there are other settings but I love Intense and use it every day.
If you want to really put a focus on your dental health, this is the toothbrush for you. You can find the Oral-B iO 8 Power Toothbrush on Best Buy right now.
I really like that it lets you personalize your brushing with 6 different modes Daily Clean, Whitening, Gum Care, Sensitive, Intense, and Super Sensitive.
The pressure sensor is definitely what’s got me interested!
I would love to try this toothbrush! Specifically the pressure sensor 🙂
I like: Lights on handle indicate when you are brushing too hard or just right
Like micro-vibrations !
Great: 6 smart brushing modes including Intense, Daily, and Sensitive!

what a great toothbrush!! Would love to win it!!
Thanks Shelly for the real thorough review of this new brush. Personally, I’m a fanatic of brushing my teeth at least twice a day and this new electric tooth brush is off the charts amazing. I have to say, my most favourite features are the different modes of: Daily Clean, Whitening, Gum Care, Sensitive, Intense, and Super Sensitive for optimum cleaning. I also have to mention the Blue Tooth tracking reminding me of my cleaning habits is quite impressive as well.
I like that the Oral-B app will track your dental health and give you updates on how well you are brushing, flossing, gum health, and more.
We have a very busy household so Magnetic charger charges your brush in 3 hours would be ideal
The Oral-B IO Smart Electric Toothbrush’s AI recognition system is one of the newest features that I find most interesting to try because it recognizes my brushing style and guides me in improving my brushing.
The toothbrush coach within the Oral-B app is a pretty cool feature as you can sometimes forget to brush
I’m a ‘scrubber’ so Color changing lights on handle indicate when you are brushing too hard or just right would be great.
Designed with Artificial Intelligence Technology to track your teeth as you brush, highlighting the front, top, and back surfaces of your teeth in real-time – great for those sleepy mornings when I’m not really paying attention.
Magnetic iO drive system directs cleaning energy to every bristle and uses micro-vibrations to remove plaque – really unique

the screen greets you with a “Good Morning.” You can tap the button to select your brushing mode, and once you start brushing a timer will start counting down.
I really like the Oral-B app which “will track your dental health and give you updates on how well you are brushing, flossing, gum health, and more.” Furthermore, “you can see how you’re brushing in real-time right on the app”, and “with a view of each section of your mouth, you can scrub each tooth until it sparkles.”
This toothbrush looks awesome! I’d love to try the toothbrush coach feature to make sure I’m cleaning my entire mouth correctly!
Wow! That’s a smart toothbrush. I like the fact that we can see in real-time each area of our mouth as we brush it.
The feature of a rechargeable battery offering up to 12 days of usage when fully recharged for 3 hours is a great feature when you travel quite a lot. No extra equipment to pack.
I’d love to try the micro vibration!
I wish To win This toothbrush To have a super clean mouth.
6 smart brushing modes
I’m too nervous, due to covid, to go to my dentist’s office for a cleaning, so I really like that this electric toothbrush has the Magnetic iO Drive System which uses microvibrations to remove plaque. Maybe with this toothbrush, I can put off going to the hygienist a bit longer!
Micro vibrations …. so I can pick the best one for the right job. There teeth but the need to be cleaned differently depending on what you eat.
Smart brushes and senor to tell me whether I’m using enough pressure to do a good job
I find the toothbrush interesting for most of the new and innovated functions it does. I like the 6 smart brushing modes including Intense, Daily, and Sensitive. I find the Interactive display right on the brush showing you brushing modes is super cool and the cute greetings, I like that power remaining indicator is a great feature to have.
The color changing light indicator is also another awesome feature to have that indicates the pressure that’s being applied as too hard or just right.
I like the idea of the Oral-B app that tracks your dental health and give you updates.
Thanks for the chance
I love the pressure sensor in the new Oral-B iO Smart Electric Toothbrush
I love the Interactive display right on the brush that shows you the brushing modes, greetings, the power remaining, and that gives you a smile or frown depending on your daily brushings. So awesome!
I am very curious about the pressure sensor!
Thank you very much for this contest! : )
I like the different modes: sensitive, gum care. whitening etc. This is quite the toothbrush!!
I love multiple things about this toothbrush! The sensor will come in handy as I’m never sure if I’m brushing too hard. The bluetooth connectivity to my phone might be the best, though. I am always concerned that I might not be doing as well-rounded a job as I’d like, so being able to see if I’ve missed any spots is hands down the best feature I’ve ever seen on a toothbrush. I would absolutely LOVE to have one of these! Thank you so much for the opportunity!!
I like the smart brushing modes
