Product Information

If you are at low risk for tooth decay and gum disease, you could consider dental floss. With correct use, this is sufficient for cleaning. I found that Oral-B also makes an interdental brush system with a reusable plastic handle, but it has even more limited brush sizes than GUM does. If you don't like the idea of using so much disposable plastic, there are some more sustainable between-teeth cleaning options to consider. Replaceable brush heads

Try inserting the brush from the inside (next to the tongue or the roof of the mouth) rather than the outside A recent study has shown these to be as effective as regular interdental brushes when it comes to removing plaque and reducing bleeding. A 2022 study focussed on only patients who have more advanced gum disease (periodontitis) and found both interdental brushes and the rubber based interdental brushes to be better than toothbrushing alone or toothbrushing and flossing. But I still think the best cleaning tool, in additional to brushing, is to use a very fibery wood like babul, which I used in the middle east (can be bought in some middle east convenient store /drugstore). It’s the best of all, by far, and has the added bonus of being excellent at teeth whitening. Reply These come in six different sizes. They are equivalent to ISO 0-5. The colour scheme matches the TePe Original brushes: Yes, absolutely. You only need to change your interdental brush when the bristles start to show signs of wear or the wire gives way. Each brush might last 1-2 weeks or more, depending on how much you use it. Certain manufacturers market their brushes as having better durability, so you might want to try a few and see which lasts longest for you.The basic idea with all of these is a handle and a brush part. The size refers to the cleaning end of the brush, to the diameter of the twisted wire part.

Interdental brushes are produced according to international standards. This gives it a label with an “ISO” number, which allows you to directly compare sizes. Carefully remove the brush and move onto the next gap. Change interdental brush sizes as you move around your mouth to ensure you're using the right size. Most people would agree that the Jordan brand is by far the best (sturdy yet flexible wood, more choices of size) I strongly recommend the use of reusable handle and replaceable brush options. They produce less waste as only small parts of the brush need to be replaced. Another advantage is that it takes up less space if multiple sizes are needed (as is the case for most people) — with one handle you can use a number of different sizes. Different sized brushes needed for different sized gaps in the teeth – Not a one size fits all approach.Prices are slightly higher than most plastic brushes, as is often the case with environmentally-friendly alternatives, but they are not prohibitively expensive. The basic structure of interdental brushes remains the same. The biggest differences are the materials used and length of the handles.
