Performance unconvincing for me

Because I really have difficulties with the cleaning of my interdental spaces and usually use interdental brushes and dental floss and my partner should also use dental floss, I was really excited about the way this unit. We have used it with mouthwash. I found it a very fresh feeling and it leaves the impression thoroughly to clean, as only with water.

The cleaning process is much faster than with brushing or flossing, because you simply slide the leadership only from space to space over the teeth and press on the release button must or can hold the button to automatically every second spray is triggered. Thus, you are in more than 30 seconds with the cleaning of the spaces ready.

Very pleasantly surprised we were from the battery power. According to the manufacturer is charging for 2 weeks rich with twice daily use. We have, however, after the first 24-hour charging for 4 weeks the device does not need to charge during start-up, until the lights began to flash on the handpiece.

Unfortunately, there are a few points that are likely to be evaluated negatively:

Firstly, the sprays are very noisy, when you first try I'm scared right since it's a pretty brutal bangs, if you trigger the spray. The high pressure also quite a mess is organized, if you are not so far closes his mouth as it goes up and keeps her head low over the sink, because otherwise everything will be fogged with water droplets. Unfortunately, the liquid container is very small, so that it just barely sufficient for 2 applications, as the manufacturer claims. One is constantly engaged in the filling, because you can not operate without liquid device.

However, what is most important: The cleaning performance!

We were amazed at how fast it goes, but we did not really feel that is as effective cleaning performance, as with interdental brushes or floss, because sometimes the interdental spaces were probably so tight that the pressure could only escape with a hiss if you have taken the leadership. Here, then, nothing was then passed through the gap through. After 4 weeks of use, I had an appointment with my dentist precaution I doing then responded to the unit and asked him for his opinion. Amazingly, he knew the unit only from the advertising and I could not generally increase or dissuade. My teeth were okay and except a little calculus, there was nothing to complain about. He points out, however, after I have briefly described the device that he knew a problem from his practice and professional cleanings that you possibly bacteria expressed with pressure-generating systems into the tissue if you are not careful, as one puts it. He recommended me to use Färbetabletten and so to verify the cleaning performance of the interdental AirFloss to my breasts and then then to decide whether the system for me or is not appropriate.

This advice I have put into action and set an endurance test. I got myself Färbetabletten from pharmacies and only used after brushing the AirFloss and then uses the Färbetablette. These have 2 dyeing steps, which show once fresh and the other older plaque deposits. When AirFloss I was very surprised that I had older coverings especially in the interstices of the lower front teeth that are skewed to the right, forming narrow spaces. Since I had used over 4 weeks only to AirFloss, this had therefore never really cleaned thoroughly. The day after I used my conventional interdental brushes and the staining was much better here and after just one use! I have to say I was really disappointed! Surely we are at the misalignment of teeth, but just so I must also so an effort in cleaning run, when I hoped for relief by the AirFloss. Especially for the price!
