Brushing technique
Follow these simple steps to maximize your brushing experience:
1 Before turning the Sonicare on, place the bristles of the brush head
on your gumline at a 45-degree angle.
 Hold the handle with a light grip, turn the Sonicare on, and gently
move the bristles in a small circular motion so the longer bristles
reach between your teeth. After a few seconds glide the bristles to
the next secion. Continue this routine throughout your 2-minute
brushing cycle.
 To maximize Sonicare's effectiveness apply only light pressure and let
the Sonicare toothbrush do the brushing for you. Do not scrub.
 To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth, divide your
mouth into  sections: outside top, inside top, outside bottom and
inside bottom teeth. Begin brushing in section 1 (outside top teeth)
and brush for 0 seconds before moving to section  (inside top
teeth). Continue brushing for 30 seconds in each section progressing
through all 4 sections until you've brushed for 2 minutes.
 After having completed the 2-minute brushing cycle, additional time
should be spent brushing the chewing surfaces of your teeth.
 Press the power button to turn the brush on and off as needed.
