Find the brand and exact model number on your toothbrush handle, then check the manufacturer’s compatibility guide before buying a replacement head. Brand alone is not enough: Philips Sonicare has several head families, and Oral-B iO heads do not fit earlier Oral-B handles. Once you confirm the fit, choose a bristle style or purpose that suits your preference.
1. Find your toothbrush’s exact model number
Look for the model number printed on the handle. Philips says it is usually on the bottom of the handle; then use its Sonicare compatibility guide to check the exact model. Philips model identifiers may include an “x” where the final letter varies by color, so match the model format shown in its table rather than guessing the final character.
Use the manufacturer’s model-level compatibility list, not just a product-series name or a seller’s broad claim that a head fits a brand. Compatibility tables and product ranges can change, so check the current guide when you shop.
2. Match the handle to the correct head family
Philips Sonicare
Most rechargeable Sonicare handles use standard click-on heads, including many models in the 1000–4000 series and ranges such as ProtectiveClean, ExpertClean, 5000–7000, DiamondClean, DiamondClean Smart, and Prestige. Those series names are useful clues, but Philips directs buyers to verify the exact handle model. Its guide also notes that some Sonicare models are exceptions to the common click-on system.

These identifiers are examples, not a substitute for checking Philips’s current table for your handle.
Oral-B
Oral-B divides its replacement heads into two main handle families. Its guidance says iO handles use Oral-B iO heads only. Earlier Genius, Smart, Vitality, and Pro handles use Oral-B Pro heads. Check the family before choosing a style: a head that looks similar or carries the Oral-B name may still use a different connection.

3. Choose a head style after confirming fit
Within the compatible family, choose based on the head’s stated design and your preference. Oral-B describes several options in its brush-head comparison:
- Everyday cleaning: CrossAction is an everyday-cleaning option.
- Sensitive gums: Sensitive or Gum styles offer softer bristles.
- Whitening-oriented polishing: 3D White is designed to polish surface stains; this is a product description, not a guarantee of a particular result.
- Braces or dental work: Oral-B also describes heads intended for use with braces or dental work. Check the product’s specific description and follow your dental professional’s instructions.
For Sonicare smart heads, distinguish physical fit from smart-feature support. Philips says BrushSync mode pairing works only with BrushSync-enabled handles, so a head that attaches to a handle does not necessarily enable that feature.

4. Check the listing before you buy
Before ordering, confirm that the listing names the head family and your handle model or a compatibility list that includes it. For a third-party head, check that it identifies the exact attachment family and model fit; a broad “fits Sonicare” or “fits Oral-B” label is not enough to establish compatibility. The manufacturer’s own guide is the safer reference for its handles, and it does not establish fit for every third-party product.
Do not assume a compatible-looking head is equivalent to an original manufacturer head. If the listing does not make the fit clear, verify the model with the manufacturer before buying.

5. Replace worn heads and troubleshoot a poor fit
When to replace a head
Oral-B says dentists recommend replacing its brush heads every three months. Treat that as Oral-B’s recommendation for its heads, not a universal schedule for every brand or every person. Inspect the bristles for wear and follow the instructions for your brush and head.
If an Oral-B head will not attach
If a head from the correct family will not fit, Oral-B advises checking for material left behind from the old head or hardened toothpaste near the connection. Its fit and troubleshooting guidance describes rinsing the handle’s upper connector area under warm water and removing debris. Follow your device manual, and do not force the head onto the handle.
