The new Oral-B Genius 8000 is a marked step-up from previous Oral-B toothbrushes as it combines the effectiveness of an electric toothbrush with the added benefits of a custom-made mobile app. The package contains the toothbrush, 3 different brush heads, charger and travelling case as well as a mobile phone holder for use while brushing. I had no problems with installing the app on my phone and connecting it to the brush, though you do need to have at least a version 4.3 on an Android. You can use the facial recognition feature on the app to help it guide you better while brushing. One of the best features of the Genius 8000 in my opinion is the position detection; using the app the brush helps guide you to cover all zones and buzzes when you have covered the necessary amount of time in a certain area. This is an improvement over the previous Oral-B model I had which only vibrated to indicate that the full 2 minutes for the whole session were up. The brush even comes with a pressure sensor in case you are exerting too much pressure on your teeth. The app also offers customisable options such as specific programs depending on your teeth (including for those who have braces) and choosing the colour of your smart-ring. It is even possible to program specific guidance based on your dentist’s recommendations. Can’t complain about the battery life and the travelling case makes portability easier in case one is travelling. All in all I would highly recommend this product, particularly as it offers maximum customisability with the use of the app. The use of an electric toothbrush is incomparable to a manual and I can’t imagine going back. It's safe to say the world will be seeing a lot more of your smile :D
