"The wide head is a game changer. I feel like I'm cleaning my whole mouth at once, not just pecking at individual teeth. It makes the tedious job of cleaning braces much faster."

The Science of "Hybrid Cleaning":
Our dentist team and our designer, who engaged in the development of this unique toothbrush, explain to us, that the Pro Ortho Brush is an engineering response to the complex geometry of fixed appliances. A standard flat brush cannot contact the tooth surface behind the archwire. To solve this, we utilized a Dual-Zone Architecture.
The Inner Zone: The central rows are trimmed shorter and made of sturdy nylon to withstand the mechanical abrasion of metal brackets and wires. The Outer Zone: The outer rows feature our Konex HD® bristles. These are ultra-flexible and tapered, allowing them to reach past the brackets to clean the critical gumline and interdental spaces deeply and gently. The Wide Advantage: The head is significantly wider (1.5x) than standard brushes. This ensures that while the inner bristles scrub the braces, the outer bristles simultaneously massage the gums, preventing the gingivitis that plagues so many orthodontic patients.
How to Master the "Bracket Glide"
This brush is designed to make complex cleaning feel intuitive.
The Grip: Hold the wide, ergonomic handle comfortably. The thumb support will help you guide the brush with precision, even when reaching back molars.
The Angle: Place the brush head horizontally on your braces. You will feel the "groove" lock onto the brackets.
The Motion: Use small circular motions. The inner bristles will scrub the hardware, while the long outer bristles will naturally flex to sweep the gumline above and below the braces. No need for acrobatic wrist movements!.
Q: Will the soft bristles really clean my heavy braces?
A: Yes. The "Hybrid" design puts tougher bristles in the middle for the heavy lifting on metal, while the UltraSoft Konex HD® bristles on the outside protect your gums from being scratched.
Q: Is it better than the little interdental brushes?
A: It doesn't replace them; it partners with them. The Pro Ortho handles the heavy daily cleaning of the entire arch, while interdental brushes (like our EasyFlex) target specific tight spots between wires.
Q: Why not just use a hard brush?
A: Hard bristles can damage your gum tissue, leading to recession. Plus, they are stiff and tend to "bridge" over gaps rather than reaching into them. Our UltraSoft bristles are flexible enough to clean around and under your gear.
