In this article, we will discuss how to adjust cleaning modes, properly charge the Mijia T100, care for nozzles and avoid typical errors. You will also learn how this model differs from other Xiaomi toothbrushes and how to integrate it into the Mi Home ecosystem for smart control. If you just purchased this brush or are planning to buy, here you will find the answers to all the questions.
Package and the first steps after purchase
In the box with Xiaomi Mijia T100 you will find:
- 🪥 Main body of the brush with built-in battery
- 🔋 Charging base (wireless, with magnetic fastening)
- 🦷 One standard cleaning nozzle (type) W1)
- 📄 Short instructions in several languages (including Russian)
- 🔄 USB-cable for connecting charging to the network (Type-C)
Before the first use, you need to fully charge the brush - it will take about 12 hours. Don't rush to turn it on immediately after unpacking: the battery can be discharged after long storage, it is also recommended to wash the nozzle under running water and wipe the case with a soft wipe.
The Mijia T100 supports connectivity to the Mi Home app, but it's not necessary for basic work. However, if you want to use personalized cleaning modes or track statistics, installing the app will be useful. For how to do this, see the setup section.
How to use Xiaomi Mijia T100: step-by-step instructions
Using an electric brush is different from a conventional manual brush, and here is the right algorithm for maximum efficiency:
- Preparation: moisten the brush with water and apply a toothpaste (about the size of a pea) and do not turn on the brush without the paste - this can damage the enamel.
- Mode selection: Press the power button once for the standard mode (Clean), twice for sensitive teeth (Sensitive), three times for whitening (White).
- Cleaning technique: Hold the brush at a 45° angle to your teeth, don't press hard. Move from the gums to the edge of your tooth, lingering in each area for 2-3 seconds.
- Timer: The brush vibrates every 30 seconds, which is a signal to change the mouth area. The full cycle takes 2 minutes.
- Completion: After finishing, wash the nozzle and the case underwater. Dry them outdoors (not in a closed case!).
Critically, the Mijia T100 has overpressure protection — if you press your brush too hard, it automatically reduces power. This prevents damage to the gums, but does not eliminate the need to control the force of the press.

If you use braces or have problems with your gums, select Sensitive mode and reduce the cleaning time to 1 minute, and it is also recommended to use special brace nozzles (both purchased separately).
⚠️ Attention: Do not share your toothbrush with others, even if you change the nozzle. The body may remain bacteria, and moisture contributes to their reproduction.
Modes of work and their features
Xiaomi Mijia T100 offers three main cleaning modes, which differ in intensity and purpose:
| Regime. | Activation. | Fluctuations per minute | Appointment | Recommendations |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Clean | 1 tap | 31 000 | Daily cleaning | Suitable for most users. Removes up to 99 percent of the plaque. |
| White | 3 taps | 35 000 | Whitening | Use no more than 2 times a week, can increase the sensitivity of the teeth. |
| Sensitive | 2 taps | 28 000 | For sensitive teeth | Ideal for bleeding gums or after dental procedures. |
The switching between modes only happens when the brush is off, and if you've already started cleaning, you can't change mode, you have to end the session and start over, and this is done to prevent a sudden change in intensity that could damage the enamel.
For best results, dentists recommend:
- 🌟 Alternate modes: for example, 5 days Clean, then 1 day White.
- 🕒 Brush your teeth 2 times a day for 2 minutes (morning and evening).
- 🦷 Use fluoride-containing paste to protect enamel.
- 🔄 Change the nozzle every 3 months (or earlier if the bristles have worn out).
💡
If you feel uncomfortable in White mode, try using Sensitive first for a week to make your gums adapt to the vibration.
