This will make it impossible for the brush head to become detached due to vibration. Place the brush against the tooth at an angle, in such a way that it covers the surface of the tooth as well as the gum line. Hold the brush in that position for a few seconds and then move on to the next tooth. The round brush head removes plaque from the teeth and beneath the gum margin. The individual moving Active Tip cleans between the teeth. All you have to do is guide the brush carefully along the teeth and molars. Make sure that you reach all surfaces of the teeth (inside, outside and chewing surface) as well as the gums properly. A fixed brushing pattern will prevent you from skipping certain areas. The Gum Protection System will keep a check on the pressure you exert on the brush. If you press the brush too hard against your gums, you will feel and hear a click when the brush head flexes backwards.
