A Cleaner, Brighter Smile with Oral-B iO Series 9 and Crest 3DWhite Brilliance Deep Stain Remover
If you’ve ever stood in the toothpaste aisle wondering how to get that brighter, healthier smile without a ton of hassle, I’ve got some thoughts to share. Lately, I’ve been using the Oral-B iO Series 9 electric toothbrush paired with Crest’s 3DWhite Brilliance Deep Stain Remover toothpaste, and it’s made my daily routine feel a bit more effective. Let’s chat about what these two bring to the table, why they might fit into your life, and how they team up for better results.
This toothbrush caught my eye because it’s not just a basic electric one. It’s got some smart features that help you brush smarter, not harder. Picture a handle that lights up with a colourful display when you turn it on. It greets you, shows your brushing mode, and even tracks how long you’ve been going with a two-minute timer. At the end, if you’ve done a solid job, it flashes a little smile icon. It’s like having a gentle reminder built right in.
What makes it work so well is the way it cleans. The brush head is round, inspired by what dentists use, and it spins and vibrates lightly to get between teeth and along the gums. There’s this magnetic drive system that sends energy straight to the bristles, combining oscillations with those micro-vibrations. In simple terms, it helps remove more plaque than a manual brush, and after about a week, your gums can feel healthier – less inflamed and stronger.
One thing I appreciate is the pressure sensor. It lights up green when you’re brushing just right, red if you’re pressing too hard (which can wear down enamel), and white if you’re too light. No more guessing! Plus, there are seven modes to choose from, like daily clean for everyday use, sensitive for gentler days, gum care, whitening, intense for a deeper clean, super sensitive, and even one for your tongue. You can connect it to the Oral-B app via Bluetooth for AI-powered tracking. It maps out your teeth in 3D and shows if you’ve missed spots on the front, top, or back.
It comes in fun colours: black onyx, white alabaster, rose quartz, or aquamarine. The box includes the toothbrush, four replacement heads (they last about three months each), a magnetic charger that snaps in place and juices it up in around three hours, and a travel case that charges too. Handy for trips.
Overall, it’s designed to give you that clean-mouth feel, like you’ve just left the dentist, but every day at home. And yep, it’s backed by claims from the Canadian Dental Association for plaque removal and gingivitis prevention.
Switching gears to the toothpaste – this one’s from Crest, the big name in whitening. The 3DWhite Brilliance Deep Stain Remover is built to tackle stains that have built up over time, like from coffee, tea, or wine. What sets it apart is how it works: instead of just scrubbing the surface like some pastes do, it uses a formula that weakens the bonds holding those deep stains to your teeth, then lifts them away. You can notice whiter teeth after just one day of use, which is pretty quick.
It’s safe for enamel, so you can use it twice a day without worry. The fluoride in it actually helps strengthen your teeth by remineralizing the enamel. And it doesn’t stop at removing old stains. It creates a barrier to repel new ones, keeping your smile brighter longer. The mint flavour leaves your mouth feeling fresh for hours, not just right after brushing.
If you’re already using something like whitening strips, this paste pairs well with them to maintain the results. It’s different from other whitening toothpastes because it goes beyond abrasives; it targets the root of the stain attachment. No sensitivity issues for me, and it’s gentle enough for daily routines.
Using the Oral-B iO Series 9 with this Crest toothpaste feels like a solid combo. The toothbrush’s whitening mode works well with the paste’s stain-lifting action, helping polish things up while protecting your gums. Brush for two minutes, hit all the surfaces with the app’s guidance, and let the paste do its thing on those deeper spots. It’s straightforward and makes oral care less of a chore.
