So you got your hands on the latest brushing innovation, the Laifen Wave, with the world’s first 60° oscillations and a maximum of 66,000 vibrations xnper minute. But wait, let’s back up a second, what exactly does that mean for your brushing and how does one go about using it? Today, we’re going to go over every aspect of the Laifen Wave, picking the right brush head, using the proper brushing technique, cleaning the handle, and so much more – basically, a Laifen Wave Electric Toothbrush user manual so you can get the most out of your new toothbrush!
Brush heads
Out of the box, the Laifen Wave comes with three different types of brush heads: Gum Care (Grey), Super-Clean (Blue), and Ultra-Whitening (Purple). Each brush head has a different firmness and shape, making them well-suited for different brushing scenarios.
We recommend starting with the Gum Care brush head. Its soft, tapered bristles easily reach into the gaps between teeth and are gentle on your gums, making it ideal for general brushing.
As you get more acclimated to the brushing motion of the Laifen Wave, you can try out the Super-Clean and Ultra-Whitening brush heads. These two are firmer than the Gum Care brush, ensuring a more powerful clean. The Super-Clean’s C-shape allows it to contour around teeth, cleaning from every angle, and the Ultra-Whitening’s W-shape shines and polishes teeth, leaving them whiter and cleaner.
Brushing modes
The Laifen Wave Electric Toothbrush comes with three default modes to choose from, which increase in power and efficiency as the number goes up. As above, we recommend starting with the first mode as it is the gentlest, and steadily increasing your Mode as you get more familiar with the Laifen Wave
That’s just the default modes, though.
For power users, the Laifen Wave comes with an entirely customizable app, meaning you can turn the original three modes into 2,000 possible modes! Within the app, you can freely adjust the Laifen Wave’s Vibration Strength, Oscillation Range, and Oscillation Range as you see fit to match your personal brushing needs. They can even be changed in real-time as you brush, and the Laifen Wave will save those preferences for next time.
Brushing with the Laifen Wave
Now we get to the part that no toothbrush can do without – brushing. Let’s Brush the Right Way!
- Apply a small amount of toothpaste on the brush head, wet it, and then put the toothbrush in your mouth before turning on the Laifen Wave.
- Place the brush head on your teeth, keeping the bristles at a 45-degree angle to your gums. Gently apply pressure and press the power button.
- Rest the brush on each tooth for 2 to 3 seconds and slowly move the Laifen Wave around your mouth, covering all your teeth.
- Next, repeat the same process on the inner surfaces of your teeth.
- Finally, clean the biting surfaces. This is the easiest step, just slowly guide the brush over all the teeth.
We suggest dividing your mouth into four sections and spending at least 30 seconds on each section, for a total of 2 minutes or more. You can activate the 30-second reminder in the Laifen App, which will make the Laifen Wave vibrate to remind you to switch areas.
Cleaning the Laifen Wave
If you’ve used an electric toothbrush before, you know that after a few months of hanging out in the bathroom, you might find that it’s made bedmates with grime, gunk, and BACTERIA.
Worry not, dear reader, the Laifen Wave doesn’t just clean teeth well, it’s also incredibly easy to clean. With its seamless design that simply doesn’t have any openings for the yucky stuff to get into, coupled with its IPX7 waterproof rating, all you need to do to get the Laifen Wave back into pristine condition is give it a rinse in the sink!
Technical specifications
This section gets a little technical, but we really would like to highlight the technology that bring the Laifen Wave Electric Toothbrush to life. This won’t directly affect your brushing experience, so feel free to skip ahead if this doesn’t interest you!
The Laifen Wave is powered by Laifen’s proprietary servo system which uses technology typically only seen in robotics. Not only does it output up to 3x the power of traditional electric toothbrushes, but it also uses Hall sensors to monitor and adjust the Wave’s oscillations accurately in real-time, which is what makes this oscillation + vibration brushing method possible.
What does this mean for you? It means that no matter what you set your Laifen Wave to, you’ll get exactly what you expect with no compromises on power or performance. Amazing!
Summary
We hope this guide helps clear up any questions you may have about the Laifen Wave so you can get that sparkling smile you deserve!

FAQ
Q1: How often should I replace the brush head?
Dentists recommend replacing the brush head every 3 months. If the brush head is broken or shows signs of extreme wear, we recommend replacing the brush head immediately.
Q2: How often should I use the Laifen Wave Electric Toothbrush per day?
Of course, your actual brushing habits will vary according to your individual needs, but the Laifen Wave is designed for use two times a day.
Q3: How do I attach and replace the brush head?
To attach the brush head, align the bristles of the brush head with the front of the toothbrush handle. Then, press the brush head downwards onto the motor shaft, ensuring there is a slight gap between the two parts (a gap of <0.3 to 1mm is necessary for operation).
To replace it, hold the handle and gently push the brush head upwards to remove it. Then, install the new brush head.

With its magnetic charging, the Laifen Wave can be fully charged in approximately 2.5 hours. It can also last approximately 40 days when used on the default Mode 1.
Q5: Can I bring the Laifen Wave on an airplane?
Yes! We recommend turning on Flight Mode so that the Wave won’t turn on during the flight and potentially use up your battery!
