Interdental Brush

An interdental brush is a small, cone- or cylinder-shaped brush used to clean between teeth and around braces, bridges, or implants where regular floss may not reach effectively.

Interdental brushes are particularly recommended for patients with periodontitis, wide embrasures, or fixed appliances. They come in colour-coded sizes (ISO 0–7).
