Simple Classification Of Toothbrushes

The shape of the brush head is generally square and diamond. The square brush head can effectively clean every surface of the teeth. The diamond-shaped brush head has a sharper tip than the square design, making it easier to clean deeply into the oral cavity. Toothbrushes can clean teeth with any shape of the brush head, but the size of the brush head must take into account factors such as the size of the mouth, the degree of mouth opening, and personal habits. Try to use a small brush head, so that it can penetrate deep into the mouth, ensure flexible rotation, and clean the back teeth. But there is no uniform standard. Children’s mouth should choose a children’s toothbrush that fits their age.

The choice of bristles should be moderately soft or slightly soft. But be careful, too soft bristles are easy to brush dirty. The bristles are mostly made of nylon wire. It can be simply divided into-domestic wire and imported wire. Imported brush wire has good elasticity and is not easy to deform. The material of the sharpened wire is PBT. The sanding treatment is also very important. After the bristles are cut, if the bristles are not smoothly processed, they are likely to be too sharp and cause damage. A brushed toothbrush with rounded bristles can prevent this kind of damage and has a stronger protective effect on the gums.

Traditional toothbrushes are generally straight handles, which are easier to use. The curved handle can penetrate deep into the difficult-to-reach areas of the oral cavity. The elastic handle is said to avoid damage to the gums due to excessive force of the toothbrush on the gums. The non-slip handle prevents the toothbrush from slipping off when brushing. In fact, no brush handle design has a special cleaning effect. You can choose as you like.

The toothbrush must be cleaned with clean water and shaken dry every time after brushing the tooth. Put the brush head up in a ventilated and dry place. Toothbrushes are used for a long time, and bacteria accumulate in the bristles, which is not good for mouth health. Therefore, the bristles must be replaced when the bristles are rolled. Replace a toothbrush at least every 3 months.

The spray toothbrush is a tool for atomizing liquid toothpaste. When brushing the teeth with a spray toothbrush, it can spray the liquid toothpaste onto the teeth. Spray toothbrushes are divided into manual spray toothbrushes and electric spray toothbrushes.

With the improvement of technology, electric toothbrushes are divided into many types. Generally, they rely on vibration and rotation to clean the teeth, and pulse and spray water to clean the teeth. Ordinary electric toothbrushes on the market that sell for tens of dollars are just simple vibration and rotation, their frequency and strength are very large, and they are fixed. Generally, it will not harm the teeth and gums, and it can clean the teeth very cleanly, but it is very expensive.

Electric toothbrushes are more suitable for people with impaired hand function, who cannot use toothbrushes to exert force on their teeth. Therefore, electric toothbrushes are more suitable for such people. For ordinary people, electric toothbrushes are not particularly recommended.

An ultrasonic toothbrush is a toothbrush that can emit ultrasonic radiation. However, many "ultrasonic toothbrushes" on the market are not ultrasonic in the true sense, but toothbrushes with vibrations per second on the order of the frequency of sound waves. The effect of cleaning teeth is achieved through vibration. In fact, there is no ultrasonic generation, so strictly speaking They should be called electric toothbrushes more reasonably.

Bamboo toothbrush, the bristles are ordinary brush filaments or bamboo charcoal brush filaments, and the bamboo handle is made of natural raw bamboo.

Environmentally friendly toothbrushes, made of pure natural materials, such as bamboo, PLA polylactic acid (corn plastic). The head and handle of the bamboo toothbrush are made of bamboo, the bristles are made of bamboo fiber mixture, and the handle is made of natural bamboo. Because of the special material of bamboo, bamboo toothbrushes are particularly effective in removing bad mouth odors and inhibiting the growth of bacteria. The handle of the PLA toothbrush is PLA polylactic acid (corn plastic), and the bristles contain diamond-grade bamboo charcoal C active ions. Toothbrushes made of these materials are fully biodegradable, meet the current requirements for environmental protection and low carbon, and are the best choice to replace traditional plastic toothbrushes.
