Your
Personal Instructions
The Interplak™ toothbrush removes 98% of plaque
with ten tufts moving both ways to help stop skating action
(i.e. the toothbrush slipping off of your tooth). The unit is
four (4) times softer than the softest manual toothbrush. The
shorter tufts are devised for cleaning the facial (outside of
front teeth), buccal (outside of back teeth), lingual (inside
of all teeth); the longer tufts are for interproximal areas
(those areas in between teeth); the whole top surface of the
brush is for the occlusal (biting) surface.
The Interplak™
should be used at a 90 degree angle. It has a bristle spraying
action, in which the bristles contour to the teeth the 90 degree
angle. This creates an extremely efficient cleaning surface.
Various
speeds are available for your use. We suggest the following:
-
Beginners
and periodontal patients would be best to start
on speed # 1.
-
Speed
# 2 is for general use (with the thought in mind to
work up to speed #3 gradually).
-
Orthodontic
and healthy gum tissue should use speed # 3. Speed
#3 straddles the arch wire and helps prevent decalcifying
deposits for orthodontic patients currently in braces.
NOTE:
The Interplak™ has a Ni-Cad battery and four heads which
are child proof,
with a one year warranty on the head. Do not press hard when using
the unit, as it stops the action. Do not hold the unit in a downward
position, as this will also stop the action of the unit. There is
a phone number (1-800-334-4031) on the back of the unit if you need
assistance.
CLEANING
AND CARE OF THE INTERPLAKTM UNIT
With
proper care and maintenance, your Interplak™ unit should
function well for
many years to come. Please follow these instructions carefully:
- Use speed
# 3 when cleaning the unit.
- Before each
use place in warm water to wet the bristles . After each use be
sure to run warm water through the back of the unit while it is
in the " on " position through the holes for one (1)
minute.
- Once weekly,
pour a small amount of mouthwash ( i.e. Scope™ Do
not use Listerine™) that contains glycerin through
the holes in the back of the unit (This lubricates the gears).
Do not attempt to use oil, or any other substitute. The glycerin
in the mouthwash acts as a lubricant.
- Do not use
regular toothpaste with this unit. It jams the gears of the Interplak™
unit Interplak™ supplies their own toothpaste with
the unit.
- Always dry
the handle thoroughly before placing the unit back in the holder
to prevent yellowing and rusting.
- Always leave
the unit charged.
Remember,
daily and weekly maintenance of the InterplakR unit is important.
We hope you find the Interplak™ to be a valued addition
to your home care regime.
