What matters for this question
- Compare a documented orthodontic or targeted design with the instructions from your orthodontist. Brackets and wires can create areas a standard head does not fully reach.
- An Oral-B Ortho head belongs to the standard rotating range, while iO uses its own heads. The word Ortho alone cannot override that difference.
