SonicYou Mint Green

FAQ

• What is Silk’n SonicYou?

  Silk’n SonicYou is a sonic toothbrush for cleaner, whiter teeth. It effectively removes plaque, makes gums healthier and teeth visibly whiter.

• Why should I prefer a sonic toothbrush?

  Studies show that a sonic toothbrush is able to clean teeth far better than a manual toothbrush. A sonic toothbrush creates vibration, powering mouth fluids (like saliva and toothpaste) into areas between teeth and below the gum line resulting in cleaner teeth. Many users of a sonic toothbrush therefore say that their teeth feel cleaner and appear whiter. In addition, many people find it difficult to keep brushing for 2 minutes with a manual toothbrush, even though it is advised by dentists all over the world. With a sonic toothbrush people usually brush longer, since it's more convenient. Many of us also brush too hard when it's done manually, which can damage the gums. Furthermore, a manual toothbrush can only make a few hundred movements per minute; well below the number of movements achieved by sonic brushes. Many dentists recommend switching to electric brushing, simply because it offers more advantages.

• What is the difference with a round brush head?

  There are simply two kinds of electric toothbrushes available on the market: with a round brush head and with an oblong brush head. The round brush head usually makes a rotating and pulsating movement and makes it possible to clean each tooth separately. The oblong brush head of SonicYou is different. This toothbrush has long bristles that make a back and forth (sonic) movement, cleaning your teeth deeply and thoroughly. Our brush head is shaped like the head of a manual toothbrush and is designed to clean in a similar way.

• How many vibrating brush strokes does it make?

  SonicYou delivers up to 37,000 brush strokes per minute.

• How many times can I use SonicYou on one full charge?

  When used for 2 minutes twice a day on the Sensitive setting, it can be used for up to 300 days.

• What is the interval timer for?

  After every 30 seconds, the brush automatically indicates that you can switch to the next quadrant of your mouth. This function helps you clean the next section as thoroughly as the previous one and for the same amount of time. After 2 minutes, the brushing time recommended by dentists, SonicYou stops automatically so you know you’re done.

• Does it work on batteries?

  No, SonicYou does not work on batteries. It is charged by a USB-cable that is included in the package.

• Can I buy new brush heads?

  Yes, new refill brush heads can be purchased via www.silkn.eu. SonicYou uses fading brush heads so you know when it's time to replace them.

• May I use it under the shower or in bath?

  Yes, SonicYou is waterproof. You may use it under the shower or in bath.
