GumChucks – the easier way to floss. Finally \u2013 just about anyone can floss effectively! Handles allow reach right to the teeth at the back of the mouth whilst getting a tight \u2018C\u2019 shape around the tooth to clean surfaces toothbrush bristles can\u2019t reach.<\/p>

Quickly and effectively clean between teeth. Tips can be replaced when frayed by pressing on the button on the end of the handle.<\/p> GumChucks Kids starter pack<\/strong> – yellow handles with 12 tips in bag.

ORHTHOgami makes flossing easy and more effective while wearing fixed orthodontic braces. <\/p> Removing plaque biofilm when wearing braces takes time. Always use a good fluoride toothpaste and brush last thing at night and at least one other time every day. Spit out after brushing but don’t rinse away the fluoride toothpaste afterwards. Your teeth may be at increased risk of tooth decay during orthodontic treatment so extra care is required. Using an alcohol free fluoride toothpaste is often recommended. Use this at a different time of day to brushing to ensure a healthy environment in your mouth throughout the day.<\/p> Demo video can be found here<\/a><\/p> The new design will feature handles and universal tips which will look like the ortho tips for universal use. These will be phased in soon. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>
