What is an irrigator?
Irrigators help you clean your mouth more effectively, thereby reducing the number of preventive visits to the dentist. Thanks to this device, the remnants of food and plaque are removed not only from the teeth, but also from the interdental spaces, where not only a simple toothbrush can not cope, but even an electric one. They also help restore fresh breath, prevent tooth decay and plaque formation.
Irrigators are quite easy to use, and thanks to the large number of nozzles, the whole family can use them. The only drawback of the devices is their size. They are much larger than ordinary toothbrushes, so they require space. But thanks to a special mount, irrigators can be hung on the wall, thereby increasing the free space byshelf.
It is worth noting that these devices are clinically proven to be effective compared to conventional toothbrushes:
- plaque is removed twice as much;
- 97% of hard-to-reach places are processed;
- strengthens the gums;
- Calculation is minimized;
- removes plaque from coffee, tea and tobacco;
- eliminates odor causing bacteria.
Features of Oral B irrigators
Braun Oral B is an irrigator that uses unique microbubble technology. The principle of operation is as follows: the air is cleaned with an air filter and supplied to the water, resulting in the formation of microbubbles that help fight bacteria.
This technology is the most effective. Thanks to her, the Oral B irrigator copes with food debris, plaque and small stones, not only in the interdental space. It also deep cleanses along the gum line, massages and strengthens them.
The irrigator works quite simply. First, the container must be filled with liquid. Then the device is turned on and the power of the jet pressure and the mode of operation are selected. After that, you need to stand near the sink and direct the nozzle to the teeth and gums. When the cleaning process is completed, turn off the device, rinse the nozzle, and drain the remaining liquid from the container.
