Key Details
AI Brushing Guidance
The iO Series 9 uses the Oral-B app to map your brushing in real time. The app divides your mouth into zones and tracks which areas you've covered well and which you've skimped on. Over time it builds a picture of your brushing habits. For people who have been told by dentists they miss specific areas consistently, this is genuinely useful.
Pressure Sensing
The pressure sensor light changes from white to red when you're pushing too hard against your gums. Aggressive brushing is one of the main causes of gum recession. The real-time feedback trains better habits over time and is one of the most practical features on any electric toothbrush.
Value
At its current Amazon price the iO Series 9 is harder to justify than the Philips Sonicare 4100 at its current Amazon price. The question is whether AI guidance and 5 modes matter to you. For most people the 4100 is enough. For people with specific dental issues or who want maximum coverage tracking, the iO Series 9 earns its price.

Bottom Line
