Specifications

Charging and Operating

Your toothbrush has a waterproof handle, is electrically safe and designed for use in the bathroom.

  • You may use your toothbrush right away or charge it briefly by placing it on the plugged-in charger (9).
    Note: In case the battery is empty (no lights illuminated on charge level display (8) while charging or no reaction when pressing the on/off button (3)), charge at least for 30 minutes.
  • The charge level is indicated on the charge level display (8). Flashing lights indicate that the battery is charging (picture Braun Oral-B GENIUS 8000 / 9000 / 9000S / 8100S / 8000N / 9000N Manual (3) ); once it is fully charged, the lights turn off. A full charge takes typically 15 hours and enables up to 12 days of regular brushing (twice a day, 2 minutes).
    Note: At a very low charge level, the lights might not flash immediately; it can take up to 30 minutes.
    Braun Oral-B GENIUS 8000 / 9000 / 9000S / 8100S / 8000N / 9000N Manual (4)
  • If the battery is running low, a red light is flashing on the charge level display and the motor is reducing its speed. Once the battery is empty, the motor will stop; it will need at least a 30-minute charge for one usage.
  • You can always store the handle on the plugged-in charging unit to maintain it at full power; a battery overcharge is prevented by device.
    Note: Store handle at room temperature for optimal battery maintenance.

Braun Oral-B GENIUS 8000 / 9000 / 9000S / 8100S / 8000N / 9000N Manual (5)
Do not expose handle to temperatures higher than 50°C.

Using your product

Brushing technique

Wet brush head and apply any kind of toothpaste. To avoid splashing, guide the brush head to your teeth before switching on the handle (picture Braun Oral-B GENIUS 8000 / 9000 / 9000S / 8100S / 8000N / 9000N Manual (6) ). When brushing your teeth with one of the Oral-B oscillating-rotating brush heads guide the brush head slowly from tooth to tooth, spending a few seconds on each tooth surface (picture Braun Oral-B GENIUS 8000 / 9000 / 9000S / 8100S / 8000N / 9000N Manual (7) ).
Braun Oral-B GENIUS 8000 / 9000 / 9000S / 8100S / 8000N / 9000N Manual (8)
Braun Oral-B GENIUS 8000 / 9000 / 9000S / 8100S / 8000N / 9000N Manual (9)

When using the Oral-B «TriZone» brush head place the toothbrush bristles against the teeth at a slight angle towards the gumline. Apply light pressure and start brushing in back and forth motions, just like you would do with a manual toothbrush.
With any brush head start brushing the outsides, then the insides and finally the chewing surfaces. Brush all four quadrants of your mouth equally. You may also consult your dentist or dental hygienist about the right technique for you.
In the first days of using any electric toothbrush, your gums may bleed slightly. In general, bleeding should stop after a few days. Should it persist after 2 weeks, please consult your dentist or dental hygienist. If you have sensitive teeth and/or gums, Oral-B recommends using the «Sensitive» mode (optional in combination with an Oral-B «Sensitive» brush head).

Smart Ring features

Your toothbrush is equipped with a Smart Ring (2) that has various functionalities indicated via different colors of light:
White (default) = Operating and visual timer light (choose individual color via Oral-B App settings)
Red = Pressure sensor light
Blue = Bluetooth pairing indicator

Timer
You can choose between «Professional» or «2-Minute» timer.
The «2-Minute» timer signals with a long stuttering sound and a flashing light of the Smart Ring (2) that the professionally recommended 2-minute brushing time has been reached.
The «Professional» timer signals with a short stuttering sound and a flashing light of the Smart Ring at 30-seconds intervals to move to the next quadrant of your mouth (picture Braun Oral-B GENIUS 8000 / 9000 / 9000S / 8100S / 8000N / 9000N Manual (10) ). A long stuttering sound and a flashing light indicate the end of the professionally recommended 2-minute brushing time.
The timer memorizes the elapsed brushing time, even when the handle is briefly switched off during brushing. The timer resets if pausing longer than 30 seconds, briefly pressing the mode button (4) during pause or placing the handle on the plugged-in charger.
Note: During the use of special Oral-B App features, the visual timer light may be deactivated.

Timer setup:
Your toothbrush comes with the «Professional» timer activated. To change this, press and hold the mode button (4) for 2 seconds. Toggle between timer selection by pressing the on/off button (3). Confirm selection by pressing the mode button.

  • 2 LED's illuminated indicate «2-Minute» timer
  • 4 LED's illuminated indicate «Professional» timer

Note: You can also set/advance the timer functionality via Oral-B App.

Pressure sensor
If too much pressure is applied, the Smart Ring (2) will light up in red, reminding you to reduce pressure. In addition the pulsation of the brush head will stop and the oscillation movement of the brush head will be reduced (during «Daily Clean», «Pro Clean» and «Sensitive» mode) (picture Braun Oral-B GENIUS 8000 / 9000 / 9000S / 8100S / 8000N / 9000N Manual (11) ).
Periodically check the operation of the pressure sensor by pressing moderately on the brush head during use.

Brushing modes

(depending on model)
Your toothbrush offers different brushing modes indicated on the brushing mode display (6) on your handle («Daily Clean» mode does not illuminate on the brushing mode display):

«Daily Clean» Standard mode for daily mouth cleaning
«Pro Clean» For an extraordinary clean feeling (operated with a higher frequency)
«Sensitive» Gentle, yet thorough cleaning for sensitive areas
«3D White» Polishing for occasional or everyday use
«Gum Care» Gentle massage of gums
«Tongue Clean» Tongue cleaning for occasional or everyday use

When operating the «Tongue Clean» mode, we recommend using the «Sensitive» brush head. You can brush your tongue either with or without toothpaste. Brush the whole area of your tongue systematically in gentle movements. The recommended brushing time is 20 seconds; indicated with a flashing light of the Smart Ring.

Braun Oral-B GENIUS 8000 / 9000 / 9000S / 8100S / 8000N / 9000N Manual (12)
Your toothbrush automatically starts in the mode selected last. To switch to other modes, successively press the mode button during use (picture Braun Oral-B GENIUS 8000 / 9000 / 9000S / 8100S / 8000N / 9000N Manual (13) ). To return from any mode back to «Daily Clean» mode, press and hold the mode button (4).
Note: You can also set/advance the mode functionality via Oral-B App.

Brush heads

Oral-B offers you a variety of different Oral-B brush heads that fit your Oral-B toothbrush handle.
Our oscillating-rotating brush heads can be used for tooth-by-tooth precision cleaning.

Braun Oral-B GENIUS 8000 / 9000 / 9000S / 8100S / 8000N / 9000N Manual (14)
Oral-B CrossAction brush head
Our most advanced brush head. Angled bristles for a precise clean. Lifts and powers away plaque.

Braun Oral-B GENIUS 8000 / 9000 / 9000S / 8100S / 8000N / 9000N Manual (15)
Oral-B FlossAction brush head
features micropulse bristles that allow for an outstanding plaque removal in the interdental areas.

Braun Oral-B GENIUS 8000 / 9000 / 9000S / 8100S / 8000N / 9000N Manual (16)
Oral-B 3D White brush head
features a special polishing cup to naturally whiten your teeth. Please note that children under 12 years old should not use the Oral-B «3D White» brush head.

Braun Oral-B GENIUS 8000 / 9000 / 9000S / 8100S / 8000N / 9000N Manual (17)
Oral-B Sensi Ultrathin brush head
features a combination of regular bristles to clean teeth surfaces and ultrathin bristles for a gentle brushing experience on the gumline.

Most Oral-B brush heads feature light blue INDICATOR bristles to help you monitor brush head replacement need. With thorough brushing, twice a day for two minutes, the blue color will fade halfway approximately within 3 months, indicating the need to exchange your brush head. If the bristles splay before the color recedes, you may exert too much pressure on teeth and gums.
We do not recommend using the Oral-B «FlossAction» or Oral-B «3D White» brush head with braces. You may use the Oral-B «Ortho» brush head, specifically designed to clean around braces and wires.

Connecting your device to your Smartphone

The Oral-B App is available for mobile devices running iOS or Android operating systems. It can be downloaded for free from App Store or Google Play. Your handle has a sensor installed that, together with a «position detection» feature in the app, helps you to detect what areas to brush and for how long so you will never miss a zone. Use it along with your smartphone holder (find details under «Accessories – Smartphone Holder»).

  • Start the Oral-B App. It will guide you through the entire Bluetooth pairing procedure.
    Note: Oral-B App functionality is limited if Bluetooth wireless technology is deactivated on your smartphone (for directions please refer to your smartphone's user manual).
  • Any app instructions will be displayed on your smartphone.
