How do I connect my new Oral-B electric toothbrush to the app?

If you’re having an issue connecting your Oral-B electric toothbrush to the app, you may have to update to the latest version of the Oral-B app. You can manually update to the latest version 8.x by going to the Google Play Store or iOS App Store.

Follow these simple steps to automatically connect your Oral-B toothbrush to the app via Bluetooth:

  • Make sure your device has Bluetooth enabled* and is compatible with the app
  • Open up your Oral-B app
  • Follow in-app instructions as it guides you through the Bluetooth pairing process
  • Make sure your handle is removed from its charging base
  • Press the mode or power button on your electric toothbrush once to activate Bluetooth
  • Continue to follow the in-app instructions You will receive a confirmation message once your handle is successfully connected to the app


*Your smartphone must support Bluetooth 6.0 (or higher) to pair with your handle.

Note: You do not need to ‘pair’ your Oral-B electric toothbrush with your phone, like you do with some other Bluetooth devices. Attempting to do so will ask you for a 4-digit PIN, and this is not needed. Instead, just have Bluetooth active on the phone and toothbrush, open the App, and switch the toothbrush on.

  • If you want to connect an iO Sense system (iO10 brush with iO Sense smart charger), you need to connect your devices (brush and charger) first before you can connect them with the Oral-B app as instructed above.
  • Make sure your device has Bluetooth enabled and is compatible with the app
  • Open up your Oral-B app and navigate to the “DEVICES’ screen
  • Select the “YOUR BRUSH” option from the menu
  • Tap “CONNECT NEW BRUSH” at the bottom of the screen
  • Select “YES” when prompted to connect your toothbrush
  • Tap “START” on the welcome screen
  • Press the power button on your electric toothbrush once to activate Bluetooth
  • The app will let you know when your electric toothbrush has been located

It is possible that a previously established connection may break or freeze. In this case, follow these simple troubleshooting tips:
