Power Brushes : Oral B iO
Power toothbrushes work very differently to normal hand brushes. The tooth-cleansing ability of a sonic toothbrush is due to two separate mechanisms.
Mechanical cleaning. - Just like with other brushes, the bristles mechanically remove plaque from the surface of the teeth.
Fluid dynamics. -This is what makes power toothbrushes different.Fluid dynamics refers to the process where the intense vibrational speed of the brush's bristles agitate the fluids that surround the teeth (water, saliva), to the degree that they're able to disrupt dental plaque colonies even beyond where the bristles of the brush actually touch.
Little or no manual pressure is needed when using a power tooth brush. The Oral B iO toothbrush is ideal for those who have a tendancy to brush too hard or for those with sensitive teeth and gums. Juliette also advises the use of this brush with cosmetic crown and bridge work, veneers and those with a history of gum pocketing.

Manual Brushes : Curaprox
There are a number of different size Curaprox manual brushes. Juliette reccommend the Curaprox Smart and the Curaprox 5460. There are also a variety of specialised brushes for interdental cleaning, implant care and brushes for those with orthodontic braces. Ask Juliette for a reccommendation.
There are some places in the mouth that are not that easy to reach for some toothbrushes: behind the upper molars for example, as well as the insides of the upper and lower front teeth. CURAPROX toothbrushes are designed with a small, compact brush head.
The handle of a Curaprox toothbrush is octagonal, which helps position the toothbrush at the correct angle 45 degrees, half on the gum and half on the tooth, so that not only the tooth, but also the important gum line are cleaned gently and effectively.
The bristles of Curaprox brushes , unlike other toothbrush companies, are not made of nylon, instead the very fine filaments are made of CUREN® ( a type of polyester). CUREN® allows the bristles to be very fine ensuring there is no damage to the gums as well as allowing many more bristles to be packed on the compact head, increasing plaque removal.
