use a gentle vibrating brushing back, forth & rolling motion
Move brush to the next group of 2-3 teeth and repeat

Maintain a 45° angle with bristles contacting the tooth surface and gumline.
Gently brush using back, forth & rolling motion along all of the inner tooth surfaces

Tilt brush vertically behind the front teeth.
Make several up & down strokes using the front half of the brush.

Place the brush against the biting surface of the teeth & use a gentle back & forth scrubbing motion.
Brush the tongue from back to front to remove odor-producing bacteria.
