Oral-B iO Series 8 pairs gentle micro-vibrations with a dentist-inspired round brush head to remove up to 100% more plaque than a manual toothbrush. The magnetic iO Technology combines oscillating-rotating action with micro-vibrations for a deep clean, while a Smart Pressure Sensor lights up red when you're brushing too hard and green when the pressure is just right—protecting gums and enamel from overzealous scrubbing. An Interactive Color Display lets users toggle between six modes (Daily Clean, Whitening, Gum Care, Sensitive, Intense, and Super Sensitive), check battery life, and receive brushing feedback, complete with a smile icon for a job well done.
AI-powered brushing guidance tracks movements in real time through the Oral-B app, ensuring full mouth coverage and helping users refine their technique over time. Quick magnetic charging delivers up to 14 days of battery life after approximately three hours plugged in. At $349.99 from Shoppers Drug Mart, the iO Series 8 turns routine brushing into a tech-forward experience—combining clinical effectiveness with instant feedback that makes it harder to miss a spot or brush too aggressively.
