iO 9 and 10: AI and 3D tracking
The Oral-B iO 9 and 10 work with AI brush recognition and 3D tracking. Thanks to this combination, the brush sees if you brush every tooth, and how you brush the front, top, and back of every tooth. You can see this in the app afterwards. That way, you know exactly how to improve you brush sessions, and you never miss a spot. You can also see the battery life, the brush timer, the pressure sensor, and the lifespan of your brush attachment in the app.

In addition, you can see if you apply enough pressure, the brush timer, the remaining battery life, and when you need to replace the brush attachments.
