The iO Series 9 is Oral-B's most advanced brush, and it is the opposite of a no-frills pick. Oral-B lists 3D Teeth Tracking with position detection that maps each tooth surface in the app, an interactive color display that coaches you during the brush, and a Smart Adapt mode that Oral-B says learns your habits and adapts up to 10 times per second. There are 7 Smart Cleaning Modes, including Gum Care, Super Sensitive and Tongue Clean, plus a visible pressure sensor and a 2-minute timer with quadrant pacing. The box is generous: four iO Ultimate Clean heads, a Power2Go charging travel case and a magnetic charger. The regular price is $329.99, with $279.99 on sale in November 2026. The core cleaning, the iO motor, round head and pressure sensor, is shared with the iO Series 5, so most of the extra $210 buys tracking, the display and accessories. Buy it only if you will use the app.
