BRUSHY BALL!!!!! brushing coach for your kids

by | 29 Dec, 2015 | Blog, Children, Oral hygiene

Today I came across a “Brushy ball” on the internet which I thought was very cool. Basically it’s a counter-top brushing coach designed to train young kids to brush their teeth for 2 minutes following the voice prompting of the toy. The unique feature is the fact that the toy’s teeth light up, training the child to clean the whole mouth as he/she follows the flashing light. It was invented by a frustrated father/dentist in USA who I really admire for his passion. The product took 5 years to develop and is in the process of manufacturing. I’ll be excited to see this product once it hits the market in the future. At the very least, it’s definitely a cool toothbrush holder !!! Oh, and the brushy ball will come out in different animal models too.
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.
