Description of Xiaomi toothbrushes and tips for their use

Xiaomi makes the lives of millions of its customers much easier by manufacturing smart home products. One such invention is the brand's sonic brushes, which help to take care of the oral cavity and make the process enjoyable. In the article we will consider the pros and cons of the brand's products, review the most popular models, and give advice on the operation and selection of devices.

The principle of operation of Xiaomi toothbrushes is quite simple. Each electric unit has a special sound-based motor with magnetic levitation, thanks to which the brush makes more than 30,000 vibrations per minute. The power of the movement is transmitted to the attachment itself, which contributes to a more thorough and high-quality cleaning of the teeth, even if you just bring the device closer to the tooth, but do not press it. The main feature of the Chinese brand's dental products is the fact that the brush head does not make circular movements, it just vibrates.

Xiaomi toothbrushes have a lot of advantages. First of all, the elegant, but at the same time laconic design of the models is striking. Strong packaging provides reliable transport protection. The products have simple controls, there is only one button on the case, which allows you to control the device.

Every year, Xiaomi developers are trying to improve new devices, endowing them with improved functions. In the production of oral hygiene products, exclusively hypoallergenic materials are used, which have been proven by numerous tests. The products of the Chinese brand have repeatedly become the winner of various competitions and were awarded quality certificates. One of the main advantages of electric toothbrushes is the special head structure. The bristles are arranged very tightly and are fixed using a special technology developed by the American company DuPont. This prevents even the smallest dirt from getting into the device and ensures complete environmental friendliness and safety of use.

Each bristle is polished and slightly rounded at the tip to prevent injury to the gums and tooth enamel. Several built-in modes will allow everyone to choose the one they need. You can choose a standard one for sensitive teeth, or you can customize the product individually for yourself using a special Xiaomi application for a smartphone. By the way, in the application you can specify frequently used foods, habits or diet, in which case it will be able to independently offer you individual settings and several modes that can satisfy your needs and improve teeth cleaning based on your habits.

A high-precision acceleration sensor is built into the body of the devices, which determines the effectiveness of brushing your teeth - how well plaque and dirt are removed from the entire surface. It also analyzes if there are areas that you miss, and monitors the regularity of oral care, drawing up schedules for the week and month, and then transfers all the data to the application. Xiaomi toothbrushes are synchronized with a smartphone using Bluetooth.

The device lasts up to 3 weeks on a single charge. But there are also improved products that can survive without additional power for 2 months. Such high manufacturability is ensured by the Mi Electric Toothbrush lithium battery, which has an extended service life. A smartphone application will help you monitor the battery level and increase or decrease its power. This allows you to prevent the device from discharging at the wrong time - for example, if you took the brush with you on a trip and forgot to charge it.

The IPX7 / 8 waterproof housing fully protects the Xiaomi electric toothbrush from moisture penetration. The manufacturer claims that the device can be placed at a depth of a meter for half an hour, and nothing will happen to it anyway. But it is still not worth experimenting and checking the words of the leadership of the Chinese brand, and even more so taking the unit with you to the bathroom or shower. Water will not be able to get inside the sealed case, but hot steam is quite, and this will certainly affect the functionality of the device.

The body of each model is equipped with a grip with an anti-slip coating of textured lines, dots and bumps located on the back of the panel. This prevents the device from falling out of wet hands and subsequent damage to the floor or side of the bathroom. The smart electric toothbrush charging station allows the device to automatically take the desired position to connect to power. Even if you set the device at an angle, it will still fit properly.

The smart brush comes with several replaceable attachments for each family member and additional colored rings, putting on which you will not have to worry about confusion between each other. Everyone will be able to find their own personal device. During operation, the device does not emit a strong noise, you can only hear a subtle buzz that does not irritate your hearing. Products of the Chinese brand are suitable not only for adults, but also for children and the elderly. There are special attachments for people with sensitive teeth, as well as for those who wear braces and artificial crowns.

In the process of cleaning tooth enamel, there is no need to make rotational movements, it is enough just to move the "smart" brush along the teeth and press it slightly. Thanks to a special sensor, the device pauses vibration if the bristles stay in one place for too long. This prevents the slightest possibility of injury to the sensitive tooth enamel and allows you to automatically control the quality of cleaning.

Unfortunately, even “smart” devices sometimes have some peculiarities. First of all, this is a relatively high price and the instruction is only in Chinese. There is no translation into either Russian or English. At first, it was difficult for residents of the CIS countries to acquire original models, since most of the products simply did not reach the owners from China, in some cases a fake arrived. Fortunately, now this problem is absent, since official dealers of Xiaomi products have appeared on the territory of Russia. Managers will not only advise on each product, but will also be able to choose the model you need. Before using, many are wondering whether it is possible to purchase such a device for owners of implants, crowns and fillings.
