TePe Angle™ Interdental Brush

TePe Angle™ interdental brushes are small brushes specially designed to clean between your teeth, where a regular toothbrush does not reach. TePe Angle™ has a long handle and an angled head for easier access between the back teeth. The long handle is ideal for those with poor dexterity or caregivers.

The shape of the brush is straight, allowing optimal plaque removal. The wire is plastic coated, safe to use around dental implants. There are six different sizes, allowing the brushes to meet the needs of many different shapes and sizes of the spaces between your teeth.

Some examples of where to use an interdental brush include between two natural teeth, around orthodontic appliances, under bridges, next to implants, around crowns, and more. When using the interdental brushes, first you need to choose the right size. There are six sizes, so either your dental professional can help or you can find your most suitable size yourself using a TePe Angle™ Interdental Brush Mixed Pack, which comes with 6 sizes. Often, you need more than one brush size, because the spaces between your teeth differ throughout your mouth.

5 Simple Steps for Using Your Interdental Brush:

1. Use once a day, preferably in the evening.
2. To prevent your interdental brush from bending or distorting when you initially insert between teeth, slightly wiggle or do a quarter-turn.
3. Once you are completely inserted between teeth, move the brush back and forth a few times in a horizontal motion.
4. Rinse with water and let air dry.
5. Replace once the bristles start to collapse.  

Tips for using your interdental brush!

• When you are using the interdental brush look for these signs:
  • The wire should not rub either side of the surfaces you are cleaning, as this allows space for the bristles to remove plaque.
  • The bristles should fit snugly between the teeth.
  • There will be resistance from the bristles, but do not force a brush into a space.
  • If you are feeling any signs of pain, move down to a smaller size.
