Oral-b Precision Clean Interdental Brushes, 20 Count

The ortho gave us an Oral-B brush like this and I was trying to buy more, they are very nice to have and use with braces. The ortho gave us one that was very thick, looks kind of like a christmas tree, these are NOT those! Ortho one was shaped like a tree, pointy tip and wider at the bottom and fluffy for brushing out gunk. They don't bend very easily.These are super thin and the wire bends if you breath too hard on it. Very disappointed. I'm sure some would love it, but I don't. For what it is, it's a good quality, doesn't fall apart or break just not what I wanted.

These are made to clean between your teeth, but they are also great for getting into small places when cleaning. The neck portion will bend if enough pressure is applied, but these can be roughly reshaped back into the original position if needed.

I bought these for my daughter to keep her braces clean. The brush was a bit too small and took longer to get the job done. These were a little more robust than the Dentek kind, but I think I found a brush that was wider and better for the application. So, part of that is on me, but if you are looking for orthodontic use, try a wider version.

The more expensive brushes like the GUMM ones often can't get into small spaces no matter what "thickness rating" they have. And those can hurt as you try to force them into a tight space. These Oral-B brushes are delicate and flexible, but they can clean those tight spaces as long as you don't try to use them like a crowbar, which will of course cause them to bend. Position the brush tip at the entrance to a tight space, apply very, very SLIGHT pressure, and, if necessary, rotate slightly (by rolling brush handle between your fingers), allowing brush to absorb moisture and then it will slide easily into the space. If necessary, keep rotating to dislodge the food. Then pull out gently and voila! The process may seem slow, but it gets very fast as you get the hang of it.

These brushes are a huge disappointment. They have no sturdiness whatsoever. As soon as I place on between two teeth (interdental cleaning), it bends completely out of shape. You should be able to use one per cleaning, but it bends so quickly that I don't get adequate cleaning with just one. Don't waste your money; I am quite sorry I bought so many through Amazon.

My husband likes these small brushes much better than standard floss but has been unable to find them locally. He was happy to find these on Amazon, although they are a different brand that what he normally uses. However, he was disappointed to find that after one use, the bristles were shot. They just didn't hold up. One and done. Maybe these are designed that way, but he would normally rinse and reuse the ones he used in the past. So these are somewhat expensive for one use only.

I like these. My hygienist show them to me. It's almost like a portable toothbrush or floss. I have 1 or 2 on me all the time. It's nice to be able to clean between your teeth! I use it watching TV.

Great for traveling. I keep them in the glove box...and in suitcases.,
