What were some of the thoughts of the Dental Advisor Initial Insights Team?
Very easy to mold to the patient’s dentition.
No impressions are needed. Patients would love this!
It is VERY pliable when first removed from the hot water, and it distorted; however, it was easy to mold back into the proper shape and fit onto the teeth.
Will this be comfortable for patients with a variety of occlusion classifications? Our patient’s premolars were not touching when her mandible was retruded. We are excited to evaluate more to find out!

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.

Great design of bristles locking in for maximum scrubbing! It really allowed my appliances to seat in the device and feel as though they were really getting clean.
Very easy to use.
My night guard tasted fresh and minty after cleaning.
The gel viscosity could be a little thicker.
The addition of a tartar and stain removing gel would be great for tenacious deposits.
