Dr. Collins Perio Toothbrush

Polyester is a less porous material than nylon, which means it absorbs less water and is less prone to harboring bacteria over time. This makes the brush more hygienic and allows the bristles to maintain their shape and effectiveness for about 50% longer than standard nylon alternatives.

Yes, the bristles are specifically categorized as ultra-soft. The tapered design is engineered to be gentle on sensitive gum tissue while still effectively cleaning, making it a strong choice if you experience discomfort or gum recession.

Absolutely. The ultra-slim, tapered bristles are designed to reach into tight spaces, making them highly effective at cleaning around brackets, wires, and other orthodontic hardware without causing irritation.

The tapered technique allows the bristles to penetrate deeper between teeth and along the gumline where plaque often accumulates. While a flat-trim brush cleans the surface well, this design provides superior access to those hard-to-reach areas for a more thorough clean.

Because the polyester bristles are more durable and last about 50% longer than standard nylon, you may find you don't need to replace it as frequently. However, standard dental advice still recommends replacing your toothbrush every three months or sooner if the bristles show signs of fraying.
