In the past days (1985), the Braun Dental Floss used to be much more powerful.

I just bought a new one and it's really weak...


Here is a tutorial to easily dismantle your equipment and let him give you an extra boost:

we will just increase the travel of the rotary command button :-)

ta daaa!

if you're curious or if you have a problem with your oralB: here is the inside!

Remove the Rotary Button

you can see that the button is clipsed

the black part is the potentiometer: it can go way farther than the button

hence it could give more electrical power to the motor ;-)

Modify the Button Notch

Action: increase the notch up to this position (between 3 and 4)


You've just freed your oralB power! congrats
