A smart new electric toothbrush that promises a ‘professional-level clean’ at home is winning praise from shoppers around the world. 

The Oral-B iO 9 Series may be pricey at $749, but it comes after six years of research and boasts a number of features that make it different to any other electric toothbrush on the market.

One of the best features of the Oral-B iO toothbrush is the Bluetooth function that connects to your phone to reveal information about your teeth within an Oral-B app.

Within the free app, you can find out your average brushing score, which is calculated from the coverage, pressure and length of your clean, as well as how you can develop better brushing habits.

It also has a real-time position detection feature that shows exactly where you’re brushing so you don’t neglect any areas. 

While you are brushing your teeth, you can watch six different areas of your virtual mouth light up, and the teeth will get progressively whiter until they are sparkling and white and you can move on to the next area.

But this isn’t the only feature that sets the Oral-B iO 9 apart from other toothbrushes.

The regular Oral-B brush head has been re-designed to ‘combine oscillating, rotating movements with micro-vibrations to ensure a deep clean that reaches every contour’.

The brush head has twisted bristles, which Oral-B found to be better for a deep clean, as well as a smart pressure sensor that glows green when you’re applying the right amount of pressure to your teeth and red when applying too much.

This is all designed to help to protect your gums and enamel.

When cleaning your teeth, you can choose from a number of different modes including ‘Daily Clean’ and ‘Sensitive’ mode, depending on what your teeth need that particular day.

The brush is quieter than typical electric toothbrushes, and there is even a ‘tongue clean’ section so that you can select when you have cleaned your tongue.

The toothbrush comes with a quick charging station, travel case, spare toothbrush head and travel holder for the heads.

While the product only launched this month in Australia, it already has an impressive five-star rating online (pictured)

‘This is excellent. I couldn’t go back to manual toothbrush after using this electric brush,’ one reviewer wrote.

Another added: ‘I’ve been using this beautiful brush for a few weeks now. So much more than just a toothbrush! 

‘Combined with the app (a free download) I feel it’s a dentist clean every day! Innovative technology and a stunning, sleek design.’

Others described it as the ‘best toothbrush you can have’.
