It used to be that giving your teeth a dentist-quality cleaning at home was just a pipe dream. But as electric toothbrush technology has improved in leaps and bounds, getting that professional shine from your personal brush is now possible. Leading the way is Oral-B and its iO series of toothbrushes, which provide a thorough cleaning that also goes gentle on your gums.

If you’re looking to upgrade from an older toothbrush, or if you just want an electric toothbrush that improves your smile (and saves you from a dreaded visit to the dentist for cavity treatment), now’s the time to get an Oral-B, as its Series 3 toothbrush is now on sale for 40% off on Amazon. Let’s take a look at why this toothbrush elevates itself over other brushes in its class.

The Oral-B iO is a sonic toothbrush that cleans with micro-oscillations and vibrating action. This is one toothbrush that works hard to clean your teeth — or, as one enthusiastic Reddit user puts it, “It’s like brushing with a jet engine, but in a good way.”

Its primary advantage over other electric toothbrushes is its pressure sensor, which removes any guesswork around how much pressure you should apply when brushing. (Too much pressure can damage your gums, while too little shortchanges you on an adequate cleaning.) Thanks to the sensor, the light ring at the top of the handle will glow green if you’re applying the right amount of pressure, and it will glow red or white if the pressure is too high or low. The Series 3 toothbrush also has a warning light that reminds you when to replace your brush head (since a worn-out brush head can be just as damaging to good dental hygiene as not applying the right pressure).

The Oral-B Series 3 iO toothbrush features three modes — “daily clean,” “sensitive” and “whitening” — that cover all major tooth-cleaning situations, and the battery can go over two weeks on a single charge. The round brush heads are another plus, as they’re small enough to get into tight spaces, and you can choose from several different types of heads depending on your needs( including Gentle Clean and Whitening heads).

Last, but most important, the Series 3 iO brush has plenty of five-star reviews on Amazon. One user noted that the Oral-B provides an “exceptional brushing experience with its advanced features,” while another reviewer said it’s “like getting a professional cleaning at home.”

With the Oral-B iO toothbrush, you get high-tech features at a budget price, and at its current deal of 40% off, it’s an even better value compared to similar models. Get one now, and your teeth will thank you later!
