Tepe Spacer Brush - Red - 0.50mm

These brushes are designed for cleaning tight to small interdental spaces, and around dental work like orthodontic appliances, bridges, and implants, to remove plaque and food debris.

It is generally recommended to use interdental brushes once a day, in addition to regular toothbrushing, to maintain optimal oral hygiene.

Yes, the plastic-coated wire is designed to be gentle on gums. However, always use a gentle motion and do not force the brush. If you experience discomfort, consult your dental professional.

The 0.5mm size (Red Fine) is suitable for very narrow gaps. If the brush fits easily without resistance, it's likely the correct size. If it's too tight or requires force, you may need a slightly larger size or dental floss.

Each brush should be replaced after approximately 3-7 days of regular use, or sooner if the bristles become splayed or damaged.

Yes, they can be rinsed and air-dried for reuse for a limited time until the bristles degrade.

Yes, the slim design and gentle wire coating make them suitable for cleaning around implants without causing damage.

This size (0.5mm) is intended for very tight spaces. If it feels too stiff, try a different size interdental brush or use dental floss for that specific gap to avoid damaging your gums or the brush.

Ensure you are using the brush gently and not forcing it into spaces that are too large. If the bristles continue to splay prematurely, it may indicate the brush is past its effective lifespan and needs replacement.

Try angling the brush differently. For very posterior teeth, a brush with a handle extension or a slightly angled head might be more comfortable, though the standard handle often suffices with practice.
