Before I began to treat my teeth and decided to braces in the dental care considered that a toothbrush, toothpaste and a good conditioner will suffice.
When beginning to treat teeth (before you put the brace system), My dentist recommended to get the irrigator. Like, for those who wear braces or crown, straight he needed. And indeed, for all who care about their teeth, the correct thing.
I began to study this issue, to consult with the people who use the irrigator. Like everything as my dentist I said: pressurized fluid perfectly washes the teeth and gums, removes plaque better than usual Brush (special emphasis on cleansing plaque from the tongue), and in general - you can forget about the risks of formation of caries and periodontitis, is very useful for gums. Well, you have to take, all the time since, and personally verify this. Which I did.
I'll tell you about their irrigator. I purchased an inexpensive stationary version - B.Well WI-922.
What is in the box
That's such a simple device. Included in the network, the device feet on suckers and do not slip on the tiles, when you use the irrigator.
In the middle - a container of water. Possible to add special fluid to the irrigator (chlorhexidine and xylitol), It is for those who have implants or wearing braces. But I'm just ordinary water is poured into the tank. I just do not like the taste of mouthwash.
Volume 600 ml. I for one cleansing and rinsing with 400 ml of water lack.
Above the container - beneath the nozzle case. They are going to set a few pieces.
Briefly write about each nozzle (currently using one that is specifically for braces).
So, from left to right on the photo above. The first three nozzles - standard, clean the teeth from plaque between teeth and massage gums.
The fourth attachment - periodontal, to cleanse the gingival margin (the same place at the junction of the teeth and gums, who do not understand) And gums. Fifth - for the cleaning of implants, veneers and crowns. Sixth - mine, orthodontic, for cleaning the teeth and braces. Last - to remove plaque from the tongue.
First impression
Made by all instructions: poured into the rinse tank irrigator, diluted with water (in a proportion of 1 to 5). Then put the intensity of the jet pressure (round button, that beneath the container). Stuck in the nozzle mouth so that the jet was 90 degree angle to the gum line at the distal tooth. She closed her mouth and turned on, and translate into the most stick from OFF of ON.
Head went Mama Do not Cry, tooth cold and unpleasant, all spattered bathroom mirror :-))
My first mistake - Use cool water, it is very unpleasant in the first times. It should initially pouring warm water, and then gradually get used to the water at room temperature.
The second error - strong pressure. The regulator should at least put on a half (can be a little more). But do not start from the rightmost position.
But all this stuff, to be honest. It adjusts to irrigators the second time already.
continued use
I use the irrigator after brushing. In fact, after the paste, I do not even rinse your mouth, and immediately turn on the irrigator.
I use twice a day, morning and evening. Sometimes it can instead of the day and among walk irrigator brush (brush the teeth after every meal).
Home nozzle for me now - is orthodontic, sometimes I use a nozzle for the language, but rarely, I prefer to clean the tongue still brush.
In the set there are three standard attachments that can be used for the whole family. They are colored, pink, blue and gray. Her husband identified the blue and slowly teach him to clean the irrigator. Nozzle for implants and veneers I do not need it, but in the future will come in handy when the treatment is to brace the system is complete.
My opinion
Yes, the investment in dental care and gums desired. I do not regret the purchase.
Daily use will help reduce the irrigator trip to the dentist, as the jet enters the inaccessible areas of the brush than reduces the appearance of caries.
As I wrote above, the irrigator is useful for those who have a problem with the gums and helps in the early stages of periodontal disease, or avoid it altogether.
This irrigator is a special periodontal attachment. I highly recommend everyone to acquire and use an irrigator on a permanent basis, not necessarily to take a fixed, there is a small portable irrigators that can even take with you.
So that those who are first time today with my article found out about his plans irrigator or acquire - can safely take. For cleaning you get used quickly. Because I wear braces is now, then clean the mouth after every meal I had become a habit. Yes, sometimes lazy, he did not even want to eat only then would not bother with the irrigator, and do not clean out the food from the arc. But what to do :-)
