The FlexCare uses the newly designed ProResults brush heads with increased tooth coverage and a broader sweeping motion that results in better plaque removal. Combined with Sonicare’s sonic technology, the high-speed bristle action allows a powerful yet gentle cleaning action that ensures a deep cleaning between teeth and along the gum line. With a slim, angled neck, the FlexCare makes it is easy to access hard-to-reach areas of the mouth. The ProResults brush heads come in two sizes: “standard” for a regular cleaning, and “mini” for precision in hard-to-reach areas.

The toothbrush handle also has a new tapered design that is easier to grip, and with a non-slip soft grip for better control. Compared to the Sonicare Elite, the FlexCare is 30 percent smaller, 16 percent lighter, and has 80 percent less vibration, but achieves superior results.

The FlexCare offers maximum flexibility with your teeth cleaning. There are three two-minute brushing modes that offer “Clean” mode for full power and optimal cleaning, “Sensitive” mode for gentler brushing in sensitive areas, and “Massage” mode for a stimulating, soothing cleaning action.

The FlexCare also offers two routines: “GoCare” is a quick one-minute routine for between regular brushings, and “MaxCare” is a three-minute cleaning mode that combines two minutes of “Clean” mode with one minute of “Massage” mode.

Thanks to the FlexCare’s Quadpacer, the toothbrush beeps every thirty seconds to let you know it is time to move on to the next quadrant of your mouth. The brush also features a Smartimer that automatically shuts off the toothbrush after the recommended two minutes of cleaning (unless using the MaxCare routine).

And for first-time users of FlexCare, an “easy-start” feature allows you to work your way up to full strength by gently increasing the power over your first 14 uses.

With a lithium ion battery, you don’t have to worry about running out of power when you’re traveling; with regular brushing, the FlexCare lasts up to two weeks between charges! Lithium ion technology offers more energy and is more environmentally safe as compared to other rechargeable battery technologies. A deluxe recharge gauge on the handle keeps you notified of the amount of charge left.
