Starter set with black or white handle options
Initial Insights
This cleaner really helped my nine-year-old son remove the plaque along his gum line.
I would recommend this as an adjunct to patients that continually miss the same areas when brushing.
Could work nicely around implants and healing abutments. Patients with orthodontic brackets may also benefit from using this.
I was pleasantly surprised how well this worked in the hands of my 11-year-old son. He was able to see the “gross and disgusting” plaque (that he missed with the brush) come off his teeth.
It would be great to see some research pertaining to its usage and improved periodontal health.

Three cleaning modes
Initial Insights
Easy to set up and fill.
Small footprint. Fits nicely in my little bathroom.
Can brush and floss simultaneously! Love this feature!
Cleans better than my current electric brush and is much easier than flossing.
Quiet and easy to maneuver.
Perfect recommendation for my non-flossing patients.
A longer, more pliable water cord would be great.
The brush and floss buttons right next to each other is a little confusing.
