Oral-B iO vs Pro: What's the Difference?

Oral-B iO vs Pro: What's the Difference?

Oral-B's iO and Pro families are aimed at different budgets and feature priorities.

Oral-B iO

The iO range uses Oral-B's newer magnetic drive system and iO-specific replacement heads. Depending on the model, you can get pressure guidance, multiple cleaning modes, displays and connected brushing features.

Oral-B Pro

Pro models are generally simpler and can be much cheaper to buy and maintain. They use Oral-B's traditional replacement-head system rather than iO heads.

The important compatibility point

iO replacement heads are designed for iO handles. Traditional Oral-B heads are designed for compatible Pro, Vitality, Smart and Genius families. Always check the compatibility of a replacement head before ordering.

Which should you choose?

Choose iO if you value newer smart features and are comfortable with higher replacement-head costs. Choose Pro if value, simplicity and lower ongoing costs are more important.
