FAQs
What makes this toothbrush different from a regular toothbrush?
The OrthoSpace toothbrush features a V-cut bristle pattern designed to clean around the unique contours of braces and wires, plus an attached tufted brush for interproximal cleaning under and around brackets.
How often should I replace this toothbrush?
It is recommended to replace the toothbrush every 3 months, or sooner if the bristles show signs of wear or fraying, or after you have been ill.
Can I use this toothbrush with invisible aligners?
While designed for braces, it can be used to clean aligners; however, a regular toothbrush might be sufficient for aligners alone. Its primary benefit is for fixed orthodontic appliances.
Is the interproximal brush difficult to use?
It may take a few tries to get used to the technique, but it's designed to be effective for cleaning tight spaces. Gentle wiggling motions are often best.
What is the benefit of the V-cut bristle head?
The V-shaped arrangement of the bristles allows them to effectively reach and clean the surfaces of teeth adjacent to brackets and under the archwire.
Does this toothbrush come in other colors?
Yes, the OrthoSpace line includes other color variants, such as Blue.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty reaching all areas with the interproximal brush.
Experiment with different angles and gentle motions to effectively clean under wires and around brackets. Consider using a water flosser in conjunction for comprehensive cleaning.
Bristles fraying quickly.
Ensure you are not brushing too aggressively. Apply gentle pressure and replace the toothbrush every 3 months or as soon as signs of wear appear.
Interproximal brush feels too stiff or too soft.
This is a common concern with specialized brushes. Try to adapt your technique to the brush's firmness. If it remains uncomfortable, consider consulting your orthodontist for alternative cleaning tool recommendations.
