The interprox® brush line offers a wide range of PHD sizes to fit all spaces throughout the oral cavity. In addition, it is designed with cylindrical heads recommended for the frontal area and conical heads more suited for interproximal cleaning between molars and premolars.

Also known as an oral irrigator or dental water jet, this device uses a powerful stream of water to flush out plaque and bacteria. These use a pulsating stream of water between 5 to 90 psi of pressure. They consist of a tank and pump, a handle with a button to release the water, and a tip to direct the flow of the tight stream. Because your toothbrush cannot reach the interproximal space of your teeth, it is important to use tools, such as floss or an interproximal brush to clean in between your teeth. This, along with regular brushing and dentist visits will be the best way to avoid an interproximal cavity. Also consider reading… Interprox ® brushes are manufactured in a fully automated manner, without any manual handling, to ensure absolute asepsis of the product.

This interproximal device is especially handy for patients with larger spaces between teeth. These gaps make it difficult to use dental floss properly, and the brush is more effective. This brush is also good for patients with limited mobility or braces, because the tool is easier to maneuver. It can also help clean between restorations like dentures, bridges, and implants. Patients like the interdental brush because they only need the use of one hand. Some of the disadvantages are these brushes are more expensive than floss, they require wetting or lubrication before use, and the wire center can damage the gums. Also, after one use, the brush will never be completely sterile. These brushes are also more likely to cause irritation to the gums. The stainless steel wire is coated with polyurethane (plastic material), to better protect gums, teeth and implants. At the end, to simplify, the ideal brush is the largest one that you can with light pressure, easily and without feeling any pain, swipe through the entire interdental space! How to use interdental brushes?

By daily cleaning of interdental spaces, gum disease and interproximal caries can be successfully prevented. There are three types of models, for cleaning the different parts of the mouth comfortably, and nine sizes, ranging from 0.6mm to 2.2mm PHD (Passage Hole Diameter), or the smallest space needed to insert the brush. The use of brush is the best solution if you have a naturally larger spaces between the teeth, or if your gaps between two teeth are extended due to the gum disease. They are very useful for cleaning under dental bridges, around crowns, implants and braces. Also, patients who had gum surgery should necessarily use them. The other uniqueness is related to the head of the brush – on cross-section it is triangular. This special head design matches the natural triangular shape of gaps between teeth. So, this perfect fit enables complete removal of food particles and dental plaque from interdental spaces where cavities and gum disease usually start. The wire in Interprox ® brushes is coated with polyurethane for increased protection of teeth and gums.The only interproximal brush with a flexible head, flexible handle and no memory effect.

Interproximal decay occurs when the space between two teeth begins to decay. Interproximal decay is hard to identify through general clinical practice and is often found during an x-ray of the teeth. The other way to predict an interproximal cavity is when the decay breaks through the second layer of enamel and wears into the dentin, causing hot/cold sensitivity.Interdental brushes help to prevent gum disease by getting rid of pieces of food and plaque from between your teeth. Extra Soft TePe brushes, as well as the Original ones, also have flat and short handle. We distinguish 6 sizes from 1-6. These are especially recommended for pregnant women, after oral surgical interventions, to people who have very sensitive gums, to those with severe form of gingivitis, as well to all those who prefer softer brush. Unfortunately, these brushes do not have Trial Set. But their sizes are the same as previous ones, so you can try out them first and then switch to extra soft option.
