GUM Proxabrush Cleaners

Yes, they are specifically designed for that purpose. The slim profile and flexible bristles allow you to clean effectively around wires, brackets, and under bridge work where standard floss often struggles to reach.

These are designed for multiple uses, but you should replace the brush once the bristles become frayed or bent. For optimal hygiene, rinse the brush thoroughly after each use and let it air dry.

These brushes are designed for general interdental spaces, but if your teeth are extremely crowded, you might find them difficult to insert without force. Never force the brush into a space; if it doesn't fit comfortably, consider using a thinner floss or a smaller size interdental cleaner.

Interdental brushes are often more effective than floss at removing plaque from larger gaps between teeth, but they may not replace floss entirely. Many dentists recommend using both to ensure you are cleaning both the wider gaps and the tight contact points where teeth touch.

The bristles are soft to ensure they are gentle on your gums, but they are highly effective at dislodging plaque when used with a back-and-forth motion. The key is consistent, daily use rather than aggressive scrubbing.
