LUXE Sonic Toothbrush Guide

From your first charge to a confident daily routine.

Quick start Troubleshooting Modes & levels Care FAQs Specs

Modes: 5 modes, 5 intensities · Each brush: 2 minutes, twice a day · Charge: lasts 2 to 3 weeks

Getting started

1 Charge it first. Give it a full charge before the first use - about 6 hours from flat, using the USB-C cable in the box. The display shows the battery level so you can see when it's ready.

2 Fit a brush head. Push a brush head onto the handle until it clicks into place. Leave a tiny gap of about 1mm between the head and the body - that little gap is what lets it vibrate properly.

3 Paste and position. Wet the bristles, add a pea-sized blob of toothpaste, and pop the brush in your mouth before you switch it on - that saves the splashback. Rest the bristles at a 45-degree angle where your teeth meet your gums.

4 Pick a mode and strength. Press the button to cycle through the 5 modes. Set the intensity to suit you - if you're new to an electric brush, start on a low level and build up over a few days.

5 Let it do the work. Guide it slowly along each tooth without pressing hard - the vibrations do the cleaning, not the scrubbing. It pauses briefly every 30 seconds to move you round your mouth: upper right, upper left, lower right, lower left.

6 Two minutes, done. It switches off on its own after the full 2 minutes. Turn it off before you lift it out to avoid splashing, then rinse the head under the tap and wipe the handle dry.

Which mode should I use?

There are 5 cleaning modes, and each one has 5 intensity levels - 25 combinations in all. Start low and work up until it feels right. There's no wrong choice, so try a few and settle on what suits your teeth and gums.

CleanEveryday plaque removal - the default, and the one most people stay on

WhiteAn alternating rhythm that gently polishes surface stains from tea, coffee and wine over time

SensitiveA softer clean for tender gums, or if you're new to an electric brush

RefreshA quick surface polish for a fresh feeling

Gum CareA gentle massage along the gumline

What the display is telling you

BatteryHow much charge is left, so you're never caught short

Don't take the score too seriously - it's there to keep you honest, not to grade you. A steady, gentle two minutes twice a day is what matters.

Charging and battery

Charge it with the USB-C cable included - about 6 hours for a full charge from flat. Use a standard 5V1A plug (the sort most phone chargers use); you don't need anything more powerful. A full charge lasts 2 to 3 weeks of brushing twice a day, and the display shows the battery level so you can top it up before it runs out.

Keep the water out: dry the handle before charging and close the charging flap firmly afterwards. The seal is what keeps it waterproof.

Your daily routine

Brush twice a day, morning and night, for the full 2 minutes each time. Hold the bristles at a 45-degree angle where your teeth meet your gums and let the vibrations do the work - no scrubbing, no leaning on it. The 30-second pauses walk you round the four corners of your mouth, so nothing gets skipped.

The first week or two: a little tingling or mild gum sensitivity is normal as your gums get used to the sonic vibration. It settles down. If it's still bothering you after two weeks, ease off to Sensitive mode on a low level, and have a word with your dentist if it carries on.

Replacing the brush head

Change the head every 2 to 3 months, or sooner if the bristles start to splay out or lose their shape - worn bristles clean far less well, so it's worth staying on top of. Pull the old head straight off the handle and push the new one on, remembering that small 1mm gap. Your brush comes with a spare head to get you started, and replacement heads (they use DuPont bristles) are sold separately on our website in multi-packs.

Care and cleaning

After brushing, switch it off before taking it out of your mouth, then rinse the head under running water and shake off the excess. Wipe the handle down with a soft, damp cloth. It's IPX7 waterproof - happy in the shower and fully submersible - but still dry it before charging and keep the charging flap closed. Don't put it through the dishwasher or into boiling water, and store it standing upright somewhere it can air-dry between uses.

If something's off

Fixes, answers, and the numbers.

Something not right?

Won't turn onCharge it for a few hours - the battery may be flat. Check the USB-C cable is seated at both ends

Won't hold a chargeGive it a full 6-hour charge from flat, and use a standard 5V1A plug

Vibration feels weakLeave the 1mm gap when you fit the head, and check the head isn't worn out

Gums feel tenderNormal in the first week or two - drop to Sensitive mode on a low level

It splashesPut the brush in your mouth before switching on, and turn it off before lifting it out

Worried about waterIt's IPX7 sealed - just close the charging flap firmly and dry it before charging

Bristles splayingTime for a fresh head - replace every 2 to 3 months

Your questions, answered

Which mode should I use day to day?

Clean is the everyday default and where most people stay. Reach for Sensitive if your gums are tender or you're just getting used to the brush, White when you fancy polishing off surface stains, Refresh for a quick freshen-up, and Gum Care for a gentle massage along the gumline. Each has 5 intensity levels, so start low and adjust until it feels comfortable.

How long does the battery last, and how do I charge it?

A full charge lasts around 2 to 3 weeks of brushing twice a day. It charges over USB-C with the cable in the box - roughly 6 hours from flat - and a standard 5V1A phone-style plug is all you need. The display shows the battery level so you can top it up before it runs down.

How often should I replace the brush head?

Every 2 to 3 months, or sooner if the bristles start to splay or lose their shape. Worn bristles don't clean as well, so it's worth keeping a spare to hand. Replacement heads are sold separately on our website in multi-packs.

Can I use it in the shower?

Yes. It has an IPX7 waterproof rating, which means it can be fully submerged in water up to a metre deep for 30 minutes, so a shower is no problem at all. Afterwards, rinse the head, wipe the handle dry, and make sure the charging flap is closed before you charge it.

My gums feel a bit tender at first. Is that normal?

Usually, yes. A little tingling or mild sensitivity in the first week or two is normal while your gums adjust to the sonic vibration, and it settles down. In the meantime, switch to Sensitive mode on a low intensity and let it do the work without pressing. If the tenderness carries on beyond a couple of weeks, check in with your dentist.

I'm switching from a round-head electric toothbrush. Will it feel different?

It will feel different, yes. A sonic brush vibrates at high frequency rather than rotating, so it's more of a gentle buzz than a scrubbing motion. Most people get used to it within a few days. If it feels ticklish to begin with, start on Sensitive at the lowest level and work up gradually.

How hard should I press while brushing?

Barely at all. The whole idea of a sonic brush is that the vibrations clean for you, so just guide it slowly along your teeth and gumline at a 45-degree angle. Pressing hard doesn't clean better and can be tough on your gums over time.

What's in the box?

The toothbrush handle, 2 brush heads (one fitted, one spare), a hard-shell travel case, a USB-C charging cable, and a user manual. It comes in White or Black, with a 1-year warranty. Some variants add a set of replacement heads on top.
