Will it improve my brushing technique?

Well, I thought I knew how to brush my teeth with a power toothbrush; let’s face it, I teach patients daily how to use one in their own mouths, so who would have thought it would teach me anything? But… apparently, I brush too hard, too fast and I jump around my mouth, missing out bits just like I used to do with a manual toothbrush. I was really shocked! Now, the Sonicare FlexCare Platinum Connected makes me brush methodically and for the full two minutes. The app is visually very stimulating so, even after weeks of use, when I don’t have the app open I’m still very much aware of my weak spots; it keeps me brushing methodically to ensure I never miss bits. It’s very effective – you really cannot fail, so long as you follow what the app is guiding you to do.
