interspace tooth brushYou will need have two toothbrushes – one like the one you have always used (a conventional manual brush or an electric/ultrasonic one), and an Interspace brush like the one in the picture.

Use your main tooth brush for 10 of the 14 sessions each week, and for the other 4 - (we don’t mind which four, although it would seem sensible to spread them out), use the interspace brush only.

There are three reasons for using the Interspace brush:

  1. You clean each tooth individually with it
  2. It will get into some of the corners that the bigger brush won’t
  3. You can clean your teeth in two minutes with it, BUT you will have to work harder. It is ‘fiddly’ to use, and because of this you will have to think about it more, use your hand differently, and, in the end, change your old habits and make new ones

The Interspace brush is your trainer!
