Curaprox ortho interdental brush refills support precise cleaning beneath orthodontic wires and around brackets, where a standard toothbrush may leave plaque behind. Their fine filaments are shaped for open and appliance-related spaces, helping clean braces gently with a simple, controlled movement.
The range can also be used in suitable larger spaces around fillings, crowns and bridges. Each refill fits every Curaprox interdental holder through the Click System, so customers can retain their preferred handle and replace only the brush. Choose the correct dimension for the space, insert without force and clean with one gentle in-and-out action. A dental professional can recommend the appropriate size and demonstrate use around individual orthodontic appliances.
Can one brush size fit all my teeth?
Most people need more than one brush size as interdental spaces normally are not the same size. You may need two or three sizes to clean all your interdental spaces properly. As Curaprox provides the only calibrating system in the market, dental professionals can easily help you finding the proper size for every space. We offer interdental brushes in various sizes and dimensions that address every need and space. If you are unsure about the proper sizes, don’t hesitate to ask the dentist of your trust which brushes are best for cleaning between teeth. If you want to give interdentals a try by yourself, opt for the CPS prime Mixed Start Set which includes all sizes.
How do specialised interdentals differ from regular ones?
Regular interdentals are for cleaning «normal» interdental spaces. But when it comes to orthodontic appliances, implants, or dentures, your needs may change. Now, our special interdental brushes come into play. Brackets, bands, and wires require a different and even more accurate care than bracket-free teeth. Or you notice that, after the implant procedure, the spaces around your new tooth are larger than before and your well-known and proven interdentals won’t to the job anymore. No problem: we’ve got a proper interdental brush for every need. Our special interdental brush range of CPS ortho, CPS implant, and CPS perio come with longer, broader, or cone-shaped bristles that clean your mouth without any difficulty. Choose between different sizes in a practical colour system—easy to recognise and repurchase.
Can I damage my gums with these brushes?
No, if you use interdentals properly and in appropriate sizes, the use of specialised interdental brushes for braces, dentures, implants, or in case of enhanced interdental spaces is completely safe. There’s no risk of damaging your gums and teeth.

Which interdental brush size is right for me?
The right interdental brush glides gently between the teeth without pressure – and that’s exactly how it should feel. This helps remove plaque and bacteria thoroughly while staying gentle on your gums. If the brush is too small, it may not clean effectively enough. If it feels too tight or uncomfortable, it’s probably too large. With the right size, cleaning feels comfortable and effortless. Your dental professional will be happy to help you find the perfect CPS size for your smile.
Why do my gums bleed when using interdental brushes?
Bleeding gums are often a sign of inflammation caused by plaque between the teeth. With regular and gentle cleaning, gums and interdental spaces usually become healthier within just a few days and bleeding often decreases. If your gums remain sensitive or continue to bleed, we recommend contacting your dental professional.
Can interdental brushes clean safely around implants?
Yes. Curaprox interdental brushes clean thoroughly around implants while remaining especially gentle at the same time. The fine Curen® filaments are gentle on sensitive gums and implant surfaces.

If the tissue around a dental implant becomes inflamed, this is known as peri-implantitis. This is caused by bacterial deposits (plaque) that have settled around the implant and can migrate from there into the deep tissue. Good oral hygiene and regular professional dental cleanings can prevent peri-implantitis. You can read here how to treat it if it has already got that far and why early detection plays an important role.
