Curaprox CS Ortho

The V-trim bristle configuration features a shorter center row that sits directly over your brackets, while the longer outer rows clean the tooth surface and gumline simultaneously. This specific shape allows the bristles to reach around hardware that standard flat-cut brushes often miss.

Yes, the brush uses 5,460 ultra-fine Curen filaments that are exceptionally soft. Because they are so dense, they effectively disrupt plaque without irritating gums that may already be tender from orthodontic adjustments.

The octagonal handle is designed to help you hold the brush at the precise 45-degree angle recommended by dental professionals. This shape makes it easier to maintain control and ensures you are brushing effectively along the gumline and around your brackets.

While this model is specifically engineered for orthodontic appliances, it is technically safe to use on any teeth. However, the V-trim design is optimized for cleaning around hardware, so you would likely get better results with a standard Curaprox CS 5460 if you do not have braces.

Like any manual toothbrush, you should replace it every three months or sooner if the bristles begin to splay. Because orthodontic hardware can be abrasive, keep an eye on the filaments; if they look worn or frayed, swap the brush out to ensure you are still getting a thorough clean.
