These super interspace brushes have a variety of uses. And while less effective than an interdental brush, they are better than a manual brush in areas thoughout the mouth when the teeth are crowded.

They are also used to apply tooth mouuse directly on sensitive or compromised teeth.

IIn the past, I recommended simple ultrasonic baths designed for jewellery, which usually took a few days to achieve good results. The higher-quality models used cleaning tablets, making them more effective. This latest version, however, works much faster — and the reviews are excellent.

testimonial below Jon M. The ergoProx is the perfect tool for cleaning the back surface of my remaining molars, quickly and effectively (confirmed by my hygienist). Success. The product is also hard wearing and long lasting, something the manufacturer might prefer not to hear but I congratulate them for it. |
