“When using a sonic toothbrush, there are three golden rules: no pressure, a precise adaptation to the tooth and slowly covering the entire tooth surface with a closed mouth. Many people brush in a way that causes damage to teeth and gingivae. Using the wrong brush or brushing technique can cause abrasions. Cervical lesions at the cemento-enamel interface are a particular problem, as is sensitivity of the tooth necks. These issues go hand in hand with gingival recession or injury. Using a high-quality sonic toothbrush is a good way to prevent these issues,” Dr Saxer noted.

“When designing the brush, it was a very conscious decision to opt for sonic technology. The bristles of the Hydrosonic pro oscillate up and down, which is also the recommended technique for using a manual brush. The Hydrosonic pro cleans effectively but does so in a way that is atraumatic, which is ideal for people with sensitive teeth or gingivae,” he continued.

Reaching the most inaccessible places

“Most people clean an entire row of teeth with an aggressive backwards and forwards movement. The shape of the Hydrosonic pro’s brush heads ensures the opposite: each tooth has to be cleaned individually. The rounded part of the brush head cleans the buccal, lingual and occlusal surfaces with high precision, tooth by tooth. The pointed part of the drop-shaped head reaches the interdental areas better than any manual brush. The angulation of the brush head is perfect for reaching the most inaccessible and critical places. In other words, the brush heads are ideal for patients with crowns, bridges, orthodontic appliances or implants or partial dentures,” Dr Saxer explained.
