Morning and bedtime, ready
The habit starts with a brush at 8 am and another at 10:30 pm, each with a reminder. Move them, or add a midday brush.

A guided two minutes
Press play on the morning or bedtime card. A drawing of your teeth lights up the upper left, upper right, lower right and lower left in turn, with a short vibration at each change. The screen stays on while you brush.

Ticked when time is up
Reach the end and the brush is ticked with the time you brushed. Stop early with "Done", or skip the timer and just tap "Brushed".

Your average brush
The habit page shows your average brushing time over the last week and tells you whether it's on target or a little short.
Making it stick
- Keep the timer at two minutes
Two minutes, twice a day, is what dentists usually recommend. If yours says otherwise, the timer goes from one to four minutes.
- Start the timer first
Prop the phone by the sink and press play before the brush goes in; the corner changes set the pace.
- Make flossing its own habit
Habiter's Floss template is a simple daily check-off with a reminder at noon. Keep it next to brushing.
What you get for free
- Morning and bedtime reminders
- A guided timer from one to four minutes
- Each brush saved to Apple Health as toothbrushing, if you turn it on
- Your average brushing time on the habit page
