TOP 8 popular brushes for V-shaped braces

September 27, 2021

When a person installs such non-removable orthodontic devices as braces, he cannot do without hygiene products that will help maintain oral care at a high level. In addition to paste, rinse aid, floss, brushes and irrigator, you need a special brush for braces. We are talking about a design with a V-shaped bend of the bristles in the center of the head, which allows you to carefully but thoroughly remove plaque from the elements of the system and from the enamel located around them. Today UltraSmile.ru presents to your attention popular products from this category.

ROCS PRO Brackets & Ortho (Russia – Switzerland)

This orthodontic toothbrush costs about 500 rubles, but in some online stores (for example, ozon) they sometimes give a very good discount on it, thanks to which you can purchase this hygiene item at half the price.

It consists of 5940 ultra-soft bristles, at the end of each of which there is a triangular cross-section (plus the tips are carefully polished), which simultaneously promotes gentle massage of the mucous membranes and effective removal of plaque. One of the design features is a curved handle, which the manufacturer positions as the safest, as it prevents excess pressure on the gums and reduces the risk of injury during hygiene procedures.

Contraindications

There are practically no restrictions on use. The brushes can be used by adults and children. The sooner a child starts using such a product, the lower the risk of plaque accumulation. Even periodontitis is not an obstacle to the use of a cylindrical “mini-brush”.

For bleeding gums, a device with soft nylon bristles is the best choice. A standard brush can cause severe pain and increase bleeding. The brush is capable of delicately and efficiently cleaning dental tissue without scratching inflamed gums. It is enough to use it regularly.

Oral-B Clinic Line Ortho (USA)

If you're shopping for orthodontic toothbrushes for braces, consider Oral-B Ortho. This is an inexpensive option, but at the same time quite high quality and effective. Price – from 200 rubles.

This model has a rubberized ribbed handle that prevents slipping in the fingers during cleaning and excessive pressure on soft and hard fabrics. The head is narrow and long, which is good for penetration into the most inaccessible and remote1 areas of the oral cavity. Polyamide bristles are soft and do not accumulate bacteria for a long time.

Bristles stiffness

The bristles are the most expensive part of a toothbrush and determine how thoroughly and effectively you clean. In the production of modern brushes, artificial bristles are used, which will not only last longer, but will also not become a habitat for bacteria and microorganisms.

According to the stiffness of the bristles, brushes are:

• soft and ultra-soft;
• medium hardness;
• tough.

Do not choose a hard brush yourself - it may not fit and damage the enamel and gums. These brushes are suitable for caring for some removable dentures.

Most people are comfortable with soft or ultra-soft
brushes
with a lot of bristles. If you like coffee and smoke, choose a brush with medium hardness. The main thing is to remember that it is easier to damage enamel than it seems.

Curaprox Ortho CS5460 (Switzerland)

This orthodontic brush is not a cheap option. Cost – from 7302 rubles (this price tag is indicated on the manufacturer’s website, beginning of September 2021). However, according to experienced doctors, as well as patients who have tested Curaprox Ortho CS5460 in action, it is worth the money.

The head of this brush for braces contains 5460 special patented CUREN bristles, which create a very voluminous and dense surface. At the same time, they practically do not absorb moisture and have a high cleaning ability. Plaque is effectively removed, including in the area of ​​the periodontal sulcus, which in the long term reduces the risk of developing inflammatory periodontal diseases.

The head of the device is small and maneuverable, tilted. The handle is octagonal. Buyers can choose the Curaprox Ortho braces brush in different colors: green, orange, blue, purple, pink.

“I had curaprosks. Very soft, comfortable, the bristles do not spread or get stuck in the locks. Cleans well in difficult places and removes food residues. True, it fluffed up very quickly, after only 3 weeks of use. I expected that for such a price it would last longer!” T.A., review from the dental portal gidpozubam.ru

Types of devices

You should know! Orthodontic brushes are classified according to several criteria. So, the following varieties are distinguished:

• By bristle hardness : soft, medium and hard. Patients with hypersensitive teeth are recommended to use brushes with soft bristles.
• The shape of the bristles : cylindrical, curved and conical. Cylindrical bristles have the same length over the entire surface of the rod and are intended not only for braces, but also for cleaning wide interdental spaces and caring for gums. Curved - the most expensive option, in which the rod and handle have a semicircular shape. This type of device is considered the most effective means of cleaning braces. Conical, in turn, have cone-shaped bristles (the longest bristles are located at the base, and the shortest at the top). They can be used for daily cleaning of braces and teeth.
• Handle length : short and long. In this case, experts advise focusing solely on your preferences (what length of handle will be most comfortable to hold).
• By size of interdental spaces : small, medium and wide. In this case, the size is selected by the hygienist (after measuring the interdental space).
• By length of the bristles : with short and long bristles. The length of the short bristles is 1 mm and is used for cleaning narrow lateral edges, the long bristles are 3 mm, indicated for wide interdental spaces.
• By product length : there are sizes XS, S, M, L and XL in increasing order (accordingly, size XL is the largest).
• Operating principle : manual and electric. The second option is considered more effective in terms of cleaning braces and tooth enamel from plaque and food debris.

It is worth noting! A dentist or hygienist will help you choose the best brush option.

After all, convenience and comfort during the cleaning process is the key to a healthy and beautiful smile.

How to use it correctly

Even a small child can figure out how to treat the interdental spaces with a brush. The order of its use is as follows:

1. Brush your teeth with paste and brush.
2. Rinse your mouth thoroughly.
3. Rinse the brush under running water.
4. Place it in the area to be cleaned and begin to make rotating or sweeping (back and forth) movements.
5. Perform a final mouth rinse and rinse the dental appliance.

It is very important to hold the accessory at a right angle to the surface being treated. After insertion into the interdental gap, you should not put too much pressure on the gums. The pile should easily pass between the teeth and “appear” on the opposite side. If this turns out to be impossible, you need to buy a replacement with a smaller diameter of the working part.

During cleaning, it is advisable to periodically rinse your mouth. Then it will be possible to process in detail all the hard-to-reach places.

The brushes are reusable. Therefore, after each use they need to be washed and dried. They should be stored with a protective cap.

If the pile has lost its rigidity or shape, the brush must be disposed of. These signs indicate that its service life has come to an end.

Attention! During the first few cleanings while using the device, your gums may bleed. As soon as the body adapts to this hygiene routine, the problem will disappear. If it persists, you need to make sure that:

• no oral diseases;
• the brush is chosen correctly;
• cleaning is carried out in compliance with safety rules.

Expert “It’s not so important which brand of brush you use for oral hygiene. The most important thing is how thoroughly, accurately and timely you clean.

Then, after removing the plates, the teeth and gums will be healthy, and there will be no unpleasant white and dark spots on the enamel.” Orthodontist Vagapov Zakir Irkinovich

Is it possible to have professional cleaning with braces?

It is worth noting that professional teeth cleaning by a dentist is mandatory before installing and after removing braces. In the first case, this allows you to remove stone and plaque from the surface of the tooth in order to:

• Minimize the risk of developing caries during orthodontic treatment;
• Ensure better attachment of the bracket plate to the tooth surface.

Accordingly, at the end of treatment, the doctor removes plaque that has settled on the teeth due to difficulties with hygiene, and thus evens out the color of the teeth.

If the patient is indicated for long-term wearing of braces - longer than six months, then professional cleaning is carried out at the agreed time or according to the doctor's indications. In this case, there is no need to remove the braces themselves; you just need to remove the arches for the duration of cleaning (and even then not always).

The price of professional teeth cleaning with braces at a dentist in Moscow is slightly higher than that for other categories of patients.

I don’t understand how these brushes are fundamentally different from standard ones? I have the most ordinary toothbrush, it cleans my teeth and braces white. But before that, I steamed it well to make it soft.

Maybe someone will say that I’m an economist, but I’m wondering if it’s possible to continue using the brush when the braces are removed? Or will it be ineffective? It’s just that I still have 2 months left with braces and I think it’s worth bothering with such a brush - before that I brushed my teeth with a regular one.

Is it necessary to buy such a brush? Can I use a regular one?

Raisa (10/24/2021 at 01:39 pm) Reply to comment

It is not prohibited to use a regular manual toothbrush after installing braces. But it must be taken into account that such a device will be less effective and will not be able to provide a high level of care or remove dirt from hard-to-reach areas due to its design features. In addition, the bristles of such a brush can fail faster; it will definitely have to be changed more often.

The doctor who installed braces advised me to use only an Oral-B brush. Now I’m wondering whether they are really the best, or whether she just gets a share for advertising.

Choice

How to choose a brush for brushing your teeth? Reviews from dentists confirm that the following nuances must be taken into account:

1. Villi length. To select the appropriate length, you need to examine the space between the teeth. If they grow densely, then it is better to buy a version with short fibers - about 1 mm. When there are gaps between the teeth, dentists advise choosing models with long fibers - 2-3 mm. It is necessary to take into account the presence of dentures, orthodontic structures and implants in the oral cavity. If they are, then you should purchase options with short pile.
2. Length of the product. What are the sizes of dental brushes? There are 5 length options. When choosing, you need to take into account the age and size of the mouth. Children need to use a device with a short working part, it is marked with the letter S, and for adults the size XL is suitable.
3. Villi hardness. There are 2 types - soft and medium. If your gums are highly sensitive, it is advisable to choose soft bristles. They are suitable for cleaning implants.
4. The rod can be created from metal or plastic. If the gums are inflamed and weak, a plastic rod is considered more preferable, since it is elastic and does not injure soft tissues and mucous membranes.
5. Length of the device handle. This nuance is individual. But you need to pay attention to the fact that the smooth handle is difficult to hold in a wet hand.
6. Quality. This is an important criterion. It is advisable to purchase dental brushes from well-known manufacturers, which have already become in demand.

According to dentists, quality products are selected based on the specified criteria. The brush will serve as an excellent preventative against many dental ailments.
