Found this style of tool much easier to floss the teeth as compared to traditional string floss. With string it had to be forced down between teeth on either side but this style of tool just fits into the gaps. If it is too big, just try a smaller size. I use this blue colour TePe for most gaps after using an orange one to puch out trapped food from all the gaps.
Also this design with built-in longer handle is easier to use than the othe style of TePe.
I use the straight tepe brushes in all my teeth gaps apart from one back one, what I can’t get into with the standard straight tepe brushes. I found these right angled tepe brushes ideal for that problem area that I can’t reach. They are perfect for the job!
They are quite sturdy (as far as interdental brushes go), designed well, as in the bristles last a while and the brush head is quite short in length, making them ideal to find back gaps with minimal bending of the head, (that is once you get used to them, and used to locating that back gap, doesn’t take long at all really).
The right angle makes it much easier to get to the interdental spaces as the very back of the mouth.
The length of the brush could be a good 2 -3 mm longer to reach well through to the other side of the tooth.
These long interdental teeth flossers are great. Don’t bother with wax floss or the short interdental flossers, you can get to every tooth easily and with great results. Unfortunately they don’t last long enough in my opinion.
but, the only drawback is they bend out of shape easily and become difficult to use after two uses. It’s a shame it’s not a set of screw in heads supplied with one handle – that would be better for the environment. Can’t blame the seller for that, though.
A few years ago now, I was recommended by my dentist to try interdental brushes. I am 60 years old and although I have not needed a filling for over 20 years, I have required several root-canal treatments and caps etc. The gaps between my teeth are of variable sizes. Some will trap a piece of dental floss and not allow it to move, and others are wider than doubled and knotted dental floss.
Originally I tried possibly every brand of interdental brushes, including the short TePe ones, and in a range of sizes. Overall I find the Tepe brushes to be the best, in terms of ease of use and apparent effectiveness.
These angled and long-handled brushes make it far easier to reach the molars etc towards the back of my mouth, and to brush from the inside of the teeth.
As I have said, the spaces between my teeth vary, so I need to have a selection of these brushes available, although the sizes I use mostly are 0.40, 0.45, 0.5mm.
There is a knack to using them – as far as possible you need to have the bristles as perpendicular to the space you wish to clean as you can get, and gently manipulate the brush into the space. If you feelno resistance at all – you might be using too small a brush. If the brush bends immediately, then you might be using too large a brush for that gap.
If the brush part does get bent, it is a simple matter to straighten it between finger and thumb.
Included in the pack is a small plastic cap that fits over the brush-end, and is used to protect the bristles once you have started using the brush.
I find that these bristles are effective at cleaning between the teeth (according to my dentist and hygienist), and they do not seem harsh on the gums themselves. I do get slight bleeding occasionally – only slight and that is normal.
I have a couple of sensitive spots and I often dab a bit of sensodyne toothpaste on the brush before cleaning between a particular pair of teeth.
definitely recommended.
Enter the TePe Angle Blues, which seem to be a happy medium. The handle makes them so much easier to use, and the plastic coated bristles protect the teeth and gums. Unfortunately, despite choosing the exact same size as my previous ones, there is obviously quite a marked difference of size between brands, so I will need to re-purchase these in a smaller size. You may want to keep that in mind when purchasing. For example, I would say these feel about two sizes larger than Curaprox.
My advice to anyone who may be new to this type of product, is just go slow and be gentle — don’t force the brush anywhere. And if you have any teeth which are very close together / crossed over, use regular floss there instead.
Best Uses : To reduce plaque, tartar & gum problems from building up between dental appointments.
Pros : Compact and portable, high quality, easy to use, plastic coated wire is gentler on teeth and gums.
Caution : These can be re-used (as per my Dentist), however I think it’s best to keep them as sterile as possible, so I soak them in mouthwash after use.
Cons : Slightly pricey for a 6 piece disposable set. But you do get what you pay for.
In summary : Worthwhile Interdental Brushes. Recommended. I hope you found my review helpful and would love for you to click “yes” if you did.
