Waterpik for cleaner teeth and gums

I always had problems with my teeth and only when I was 28 years old I decided to wear braces in order to improve my teeth situation.

I opted for lingual braces for more than one reason. The lingual braces are hidden behind your teeth, so nobody can see them, just the user can feel them, you can see the results on the day to day basis, because you have a direct view to your teeth, the appliances and wires are custom made for your own teeth, they are very comfortable after your tongue gets used to the foreign objects in your mouth, off course I could say a lot of things about this procedure, but this post is about something that was really helpful in keeping my teeth and gums clean during this process.

Anyone that had braces (the lingual ones or the outside ones) knows that using a toothbrush is not enough. It is not easy to floss while having the braces on.

Besides your regular (every month) appointment with your orthodontist, you have to go as often as needed (recommended every 3 months) for a professional cleaning and having your teeth checked at your general dentist.

Easier said than done.

This is why this product came as a saver for me!

I have chosen the Waterpik Water Flosser (WP-450). I find it ideal for the time when I had braces, but also right now when I just want to have my teeth and gums feel completely clean and fresh. Its ideal for those that do not like to floss and anyone with braces, implants, crowns, bridges or periodontal pockets. This model is a cordless one, so its ideal for traveling as well.

Waterpik Waterflosser provides a unique combination of water pressure and pulsations to massage and stimulate gums, and remove plaque and bacteria deep between teeth and below the gumline where traditional brushing and flossing can not reach. Having tried the Philips Sonicare Air Floss, it made me understand why I like the Waterpik so much. Its because it has a continuous water flow and this makes cleaning teeth and gums way easier and could say gentle than the compressed air and high speed water droplets used by the Philip's product. Its a different experience, that is for sure!

I bought my Waterpik, just after 1 year of wearing braces, and it definitely changed my life, my teeth life and gums for sure. My orthodontist was surprised of the results, even only after 1 month of use and my normal dentist asked me if I cleaned my teeth recently somewhere else. When I told them that I had my professional cleaning 5 months before, they thought that I am joking.

No, and its all because of the amazing Waterpik Water Flosser.

I recommended it to some of my friends, that I heard complaining about their gums and/or teeth and they all said its a great product.

I ordered mine from Amazon.co.uk. It comes with 4 tips. Each of them is specially designed for specific problems, but have to admit that I use which ever I have available in the house, but this is my favourite one.

I have had my lingual braces placed in Denmark at Becktor.
