- 3 white CrossAction heads — three replacement heads per pack, about nine months of brushing for one user
- 16-degree angled bristles — criss-crossed bristles designed to reach between teeth and along the gumline
- CleanMaximiser indicator — green bristles fade to yellow as the head wears, signaling when to replace it
- Fits most Oral-B handles — compatible with Vitality, Pro, Smart, Genius, and other round-head rechargeables, but not Pulsonic or iO
- Designed by Braun in Germany — engineered by Braun, Oral-B's electric toothbrush partner since the 1990s
- White colorway — a white head that matches white Oral-B handles
How to Use
Push the head onto the metal post of your Oral-B handle until it clicks, add a pea-sized amount of toothpaste, and guide the brush tooth by tooth for two minutes, letting the oscillation do the work rather than scrubbing. Rinse the head, remove it, and let it dry upright. Replace it when the green CleanMaximiser bristles have faded to yellow, or every three months at the latest.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Oral-B handles fit CrossAction replacement heads?
CrossAction heads fit all Oral-B rechargeable handles that use the round oscillating-rotating head, including Vitality, Pro, Smart, Genius, and Triumph models. They do not fit the Oral-B Pulsonic or Sonic ranges or the iO series, which use their own dedicated heads. If your handle has a round head with a metal post, CrossAction will fit.
How often should I replace the CrossAction head and how do I use it?
Snap the head onto the handle, apply toothpaste, and guide the brush slowly from tooth to tooth for two minutes without pressing hard. Rinse and dry the head after brushing. Replace it every three months, or earlier if the green CleanMaximiser bristles have faded to yellow, which is the visual cue that the bristles no longer clean as effectively.
What is the difference between CrossAction and Precision Clean heads?
CrossAction has bristles angled at 16 degrees in a crisscross layout and CleanMaximiser green-to-yellow indicator bristles, aimed at reaching between teeth and along the gumline. Precision Clean is the simpler round head with straight bristles and blue indicator bristles. Both fit the same handles and follow the same three-month replacement schedule, so the choice is mainly about bristle design.
How many heads come in the pack and what color are they?
This pack contains three white CrossAction heads with CleanMaximiser bristles. At the recommended three-month replacement interval, one pack covers roughly nine months for a single user, or three months for a family of three sharing one handle. The white color matches white Oral-B handles; the same head is also produced in black for darker handles.
