This brush is truly different than any other brush I have ever used. It is a unique product that I would recommend to periodontal patients, patients whitening their teeth, and patients with esthetic crowns and veneers.
My teeth felt like they were just polished.
I love this brush. Is it available with a smaller brush head?
Great for patients with sensitive, inflamed gingiva.
Feels substantial in my hand and great on my teeth.
My new favorite brush! I like it so much I plan to buy more.

Very high quality brush.
Does not leave lint or debris behind.
Bends easily and does not break!
Love that these are eco-friendly!
From our labs; “I didn’t see any lost bristles which is usually my main concern. Loose fibers can cause contamination and bond failure.”

Initial Insights
I use these all the time. I love that they are single use and ready to go, regardless of the quadrant.
The new deflector button is a nice addition, as it adds more anatomical contour for a better fit on the tooth.
Would be great to have the option of a dead-soft or thinner band, as obtaining a tight contact with composite can be a little tricky.
My assistants struggle with correctly placing the matrix band on the tofflemire retainer for the appropriate tooth and these take out the guess work.
