Bent toothbrush : Part 2

by | 15 Jan, 2016 | Blog, Oral hygiene

Not too long ago I wrote about the difficulty my patients had in terms of cleaning behind their lower front teeth and I showed them how a bent toothbrush can be made to help with this hard-to-reach area. Although better than nothing, these were not made specifically for the job. At the time I thought that it’s would be a good idea to have this type of purpose-built toothbrush available commercially. After a few months, I found out a company had already done just that !!! It’s called a reverse focus toothbrush. This is shown in the pictures below. I’m very excited to have this in our clinic very soon.

To your healthy smile.

Are braces or clear aligners better for teenagers?

Both braces and clear aligners work well for teens. Braces are ideal for kids who need a low-maintenance, always-working option, while clear aligners suit responsible teens who prefer something more discreet.

Do clear aligners work as well as braces?

Clear aligners like Invisalign or Spark can be very effective, especially for mild to moderate orthodontic cases. They work just as well as braces when worn consistently for 20–22 hours per day.

How much do braces and clear aligners cost for teens?

Braces and clear aligners are usually in a similar price range. The final cost depends on the complexity of your teen’s bite and the estimated treatment duration.

Which option does Supa Dental Melton recommend for teens?

Supa Dental recommends braces or clear aligners based on your teen’s bite, maturity, lifestyle, and long-term stability. Both treatments are offered, and recommendations are personalised to each family.

Is it easier to clean teeth with braces or clear aligners?

Clear aligners are easier because they can be removed for brushing and flossing. Braces require more careful cleaning around brackets and wires, but our team provides guidance to help teens keep their teeth healthy throughout treatment.
