The Proxybrush
is designed to remove plaque and debris in open interproximal areas
(areas that are very large and located between the teeth). These
brushes are particularly helpful in cleaning the spaces that exist
between caps and bridges.
Instructions
- Place the
soft nylon filament brush into the handle.
- Moisten the
brush and insert it into the interdental areas (embrasure spaces
that exist between each tooth and its neighbor).
- Move the
brush in and out several times in each interdental space (also
known as an embrasure). Make sure to clean the brush by holding
it under running water during each use. This is necessary in order
to remove debris and plaque that may be deposited during the mechanical
cleansing of the spaces.
- Clean the
brush thoroughly after use and allow it to air dry. The brush
may be used several times before it is necessary to replace it.
Discard the brush when the filaments become loose or deformed.
- There are
several types of Proxybrushes. Each type has its own particular
area of use. There is even a portable brush as shown in the accompanying
diagram. If you have any questions as to the best one to use in
your particular set of circumstances, please ask your dentist.
