(8 sizes) From £1.68 STRONGER, STIFFERWIRE • More resistant to bending and buckling – even in the smaller sizes. • High quality bristles which deliver superior cleaning ability and extended brush life. CONVENIENT & HYGIENIC • Every brush has a cap which acts as a handle extension. • One piece design - no assembly. • Compliance is related to convenience. • Practical and compact pack sizes. BRILLIANT IN FURCAS • The bristles compress on insertion and spring open on withdrawal - excellent cleaning in the difficult areas where it matters most, molars & premolars. • Many brushes have a softer wire.This tends to buckle and break easily and brushes have to be discarded after a single use. • Disposable brush heads are difficult to insert for some patients and less hygienic. • Floss is not as effective in cleaning concave surfaces, it forms a straight line across the face of root concavities.
