The Oral-B Genius X is equipped with motion sensors and powered by artificial intelligence to recognize your brushing style and guide you to your best results every day. As with the Genius 9000, it then takes you through a daily care routine, letting you log whether your gums are bleeding and whether you have brushed your tongue. Oral-B claims the Genius X uses AI (artificial intelligence) to deliver “an optimal oral care experience”. Though the mobile app lets you set up “Dental Care Journeys” that promote different brushing modes by disabling others, I think it’d be useful if it also offered more simplistic advice about the benefits of using different modes. That is to say, it still has multiple brushing modes, gum pressure detection and comes with a travel charging case just like its predecessor.In Midnight Black, they’re essentially the same glossy black toothbrush handle from the outside with identical LEDs to indicate the brushing mode and battery status.

Both have two physical buttons: one for powering the handle on and one for switching modes and pairing the toothbrush with your smartphone. They both have six brushing modes – Daily Clean, Pro-Clean, Sensitive, Massage, Whitening and Tongue Cleaner – and they both alert you when you apply too much pressure, simultaneously reducing the brushing speed.On the whole, I found myself using Daily Clean or Pro Clean, but it wouldn’t have gone amiss to have some guidance on how long to brush your tongue for or when to use the Massage function. Last but not least, they share the same 360-degree smart ring that illuminates when the toothbrush is powered on and glows red when you apply too much pressure. Indeed, it’s only after you’ve finished brushing that the app gives both coverage and overall brushing scores along with a summary of how long you spent applying too much pressure.

However, inside its casing, there is a range of sensors that you’d more likely find in a smartwatch than a toothbrush – sensors that enable it to analyse your brushing patterns and tell you how to do a better job. That is to say, the toothbrush still needs to be paired with your phone each time you want to assess your brushing style. Crucially, I found the on-screen visualisation much more likely to correspond with my actions when using the Genius X compared to the Genius 9000. Though there’s a USB slot on the case, don’t be fooled into thinking you can use it to charge the toothbrush, as I was.It can also identify which areas of your mouth you’ve brushed using your smartphone’s selfie camera. As such, I was able to trick the app into giving me an almost-perfect score by simply brushing each section for long enough, even if I’d neglected to brush particular areas from every angle. To sum up, then, although The Genius X is undoubtedly an improvement on its predecessor, it’s actually an iterative update.
