When we go to the supermarket or drugstore for a new toothbrush, mouthwash or toothpaste, we see some very strange toothbrushes with a slightly strange structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are interdental brushes<\/strong>, which have a very specific shape that helps them to do their job better, which is quite similar to that of dental floss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are interdental brushes?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Interdental brushes<\/a> are devices designed to address an essential part of oral hygiene: the spaces between the teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike conventional toothbrushes, which focus on tooth surfaces, the toothbrushes we are talking about are specifically designed to penetrate into the recesses of the teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also known as interproximal brushes, they usually have a thin, elongated design with flexible bristles<\/strong>, which allows them to adapt to different interdental spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Available in a huge variety of sizes and shapes, they are a versatile tool to suit every individual’s needs. In fact, we can buy them in different thicknesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That way, even if our teeth are too close together, we will find one with the right thickness and the same happens if the gaps between our teeth are wider.<\/p>\n\n\n
