Manual Toothbrushes

We spend a lot of time brushing out teeth over our lifetime. Therefore, choosing the right kind of bristles is crucial. Many people opt for soft bristles. But–wouldn’t a hard toothbrush with rigid bristles scrape away plaque better?

Well, technically, yes, a toothbrush with hard bristles scrapes away more plaque. But most hard brushes have loosely arranged, stiff bristles that leave a lot of plaque and bacteria, and they require more pressure. Too much pressure with bristles that are too stiff can have unpleasant effects on your oral health. As your toothbrush is your partner in maintaining optimal oral health, it is truly important to choose what’s best for protecting your teeth and gums. The right brush can mean the difference between a bright, healthy smile and dental discomfort.

Undesirable consequences
A hard brush can irritate your delicate oral tissue and increase your risk of gum disease like shrinking, inflamed, or bleeding gums, exposed tooth necks, and pain. It also wears away on your tooth enamel, exposes the sensitive nerves in your tooth necks, and increases the risk of cavities and cause tooth sensitivity.

Pick a soft toothbrush
Soft bristles, however, have a dense, effective cleaning surface. They can actually remove plaque even more thoroughly, because they are more flexible, can bend and embrace your teeth. This helps them reach parts of your tooth that a hard-bristled brush might miss. In addition, the bristles of our gentle toothbrushes are rounded at the top–damage or irritation are practically impossible. That’s why our toothbrushes are considered the best choice in case of gum diseases.

Brushing your teeth is important. Many dental problems are caused by brushing the wrong way. Correcting this habit can be a true gamechanger.

Here’s how to brush your teeth properly.

1. Hold your brush like a pen. This might feel unusual but is very effective as it makes sure you don’t apply too much pressure. Thanks to the octagonal Curaprox handle, this will come naturally.

2. Place the small toothbrush head: one half of the gentle filaments cover the teeth, the other half the gums. Tilt the brush at a 45-degree angle towards the gumline aka sulcus. Why a 45° angle? Because bacteria and plaque like to nest in the gumline. In order to get rid of them, incline the brush head towards the sulcus.

3. Move in small, gentle circles, applying minimal pressure. Usually, people start brushing the front and very often overlook the tongue-side of their teeth and the back molars. Get into this new habit and always start with the most difficult places: the back of the mouth. Move from tooth to tooth along the tongue side of your teeth. Then, continue with the outside surfaces. Thirdly, finish with the chewing surfaces. The same pattern applies to both lower and upper jaw.

P.S. How do you know if your teeth are really clean? Just lick your teeth. They should feel as smooth as glass. If some teeth still feel rough or furry, start over.

Your smile is one of the first things people notice about you. If you’re unhappy about the current colour of your teeth, take note.

Reverse years of staining and feel more confident with whiter, brighter, and fresher-looking teeth—with our toothbrushes and toothpastes.

Natural superpower
Conventional bleaching or whitening stresses the teeth. Our approach is more natural—we use activated charcoal or carbon and certain enzymes. And we don’t bleach–we whiten. It’s a safe way that doesn’t harm your teeth or oral health.

Bristles coated with carbon
Did you know that you can brush your teeth and whiten them at the same time? The bristles of our whitening manual toothbrush Black is white are coated with carbon. Ideally, the brush should be used with our pitch-black toothpaste Black is white or the bright and zesty Be you, both without any harsh or even harmful chemicals. Don’t like manual toothbrushes? Well, get a Black is white-Hydrosonic and let its ultra soft brush head with carbon-coated bristles do all the work.

Confident smile on the go—with our practical travel set. No compromise, neither on oral health nor on style. From now on, you no longer have to worry about your teeth and gums when out and about.
