A revolution in interdental brush performance and price.

Piksters Interdental is a revolution in interdental brush performance and price, compare with the brushes you're currently using. - Stronger stiffer wire with more resistant to bending and buckling. - Good quality materials including dupont tynex filaments which deliver superior cleaning ability and extended brush life. - Twisty handle enables the user to rotate the brush. - Brilliant in furcas - The bristles compress on insertion and spring open on withdrawal - Excellent cleaning in the difficult areas where it matters most, molars & premolars.

The front teeth do not require the brush head to be bent. Insert the brush head in line with the plastic handle. Choose a size that inserts without force. The correct size will fit easily. Insert the brush slowly with a gentle twist or wriggling action - This will ease the brush into the space so that the wire does not buckle as much. If the wire buckles, discard the brush. Once buckled, it cannot be straightened properly. Try to minimise any bending of the wire at the joint with the handle. In and out movements are fine but not bending. When using the brush between the back teeth, access will generally be easier if the brush head is bent over. Use this technique to make the bend as smooth and round as possible and reduce stress concentration: use one finger to push the tip of the brush head (not the base) over to an angle of approximately 45° to 90°, preferably once only. Pushing the tip will avoid a sharp bend where the wire meets the plastic handle, and reduce the stress concentration and likelihood of breakage in the Metal. Do not recap a bent brush more than 4 times as this will re-bend the wire and increase chances of breakage. Piksters are reusable and can last many days if they are not bent excessively. Simply rinse it out under water like a normal toothbrush. The cost per use of a proper quality brush cannot therefore be less than other disposable 'fake' brush look-a likes. If you are a regular idb user, you can expect an idb to break at some point. Usually they break where the wire meets the handle and the brush portion can be left between your teeth.

Interdental brushes, toothpicks and wooden sticks can put pressure on the tip of the small spike of gum between the teeth, (called the papilla) especially if you force it in or use a brush that is too big for the space.

This can cause a slight re-shaping of the gum tip over time so that the tip of the pink gum is not as pointy, it is more rounded.

The gap between the teeth becomes visible as it is more open.

This can be a good thing for some as it gives them better access into the gap to clean properly, but for others, especially in the front teeth, it can be a slight cosmetic issue, so you should be aware of it.

If you are concerned, use floss, or supagrips floss-picks, or smaller brush sizes with a gentle action for cosmetic areas such as the front teeth.

The least wear back of this gum spike will be by using floss, either as a floss-pick (easier to hold) or held between your fingers.
