How do the brush filaments of adult manual toothbrushes protect gums and effectively remove plaque between teeth?

The brush head of an adult manual toothbrush is usually designed to be of moderate size to ensure that it can cover all teeth and gaps in the mouth. At the same time, the shape and angle of the brush head will be optimized according to ergonomic principles, so that the brush filaments can more easily enter the gaps between teeth for cleaning.

Nylon filament is a soft and wear-resistant material suitable for people with mild or moderate tooth stains. It can effectively remove bad breath, enhance anti-sensitivity, and will not cause harm to teeth and gums. It is especially suitable for children and people with sensitive teeth.

Polyester filaments are harder in texture, but have good toughness and are not easy to break. They can better contact with teeth and are not easy to be contaminated with bacteria. At the same time, polyester filaments also have conductive and antibacterial properties, which help protect oral health. It is more suitable for people with slender teeth or wide gaps between teeth, and is also suitable for special groups such as those who have undergone tumor surgery, those with bleeding gums, and those with heavy breath.

Acrylic filaments have high rigidity and strong wear resistance. The bristles are small and sharp, and can clean deep into the gaps between teeth to achieve better cleaning effects. At the same time, acrylic filaments can also avoid wear and deformation of the toothbrush filaments caused by water flow deformation and other situations. However, due to its hard texture, it is more suitable for people with strong bite force and missing teeth in the mouth. People with sensitive teeth or severe gum bleeding should use it with caution.

Our company specially provides customized brush filament services. According to the specific needs and oral conditions of customers, the most suitable brush filament material can be selected, and the hardness, length and shape of the brush filament can even be adjusted according to personal preferences to ensure the best cleaning effect and comfort.

Rounding the tip of the bristles is a key step in protecting the gums. By rounding the tip of the bristles, the irritation and damage of the brush filaments to the gums can be reduced, so that during the brushing process, the brush filaments can contact the gums more gently to avoid gum bleeding or pain.

Wire sharpness control. Although the brush filaments need to have a certain sharpness to remove tartar in the gaps between teeth, excessive sharpness may damage the enamel and gums. Therefore, during the production process, the sharpness of the brush wire is precisely controlled to ensure that it can effectively clean between teeth without damaging teeth and gums.

When using an adult manual toothbrush, the correct brushing method should be adopted, such as the modified Bass brushing method (horizontal vibration brushing method). This method requires the brush head to be placed on the neck of the tooth, with the bristles pointing in the direction of the tooth root, at a 45° angle to the long axis of the tooth, and then slightly pressurized so that part of the bristles enter the gingival sulcus and part of them are placed on the gums. Through horizontal vibration and brushing, plaque and tartar in the neck of the tooth and the gingival sulcus can be effectively removed, while protecting the gums from damage.
