The Ergonomic InterBrush Mini series from Intermed comes in a pack of 8 pieces. Size 2 has a diameter of 0,5mm and a red color code, while each piece features the anatomical handle designed by the manufacturer for easier access to hard-to-reach interdental spaces.
With eight brushes in the box, you always have a spare available. This matters because a worn brush with open bristles cleans less effectively and can irritate the gums.
The narrow gaps between the teeth are where the toothbrush has the least access. The Mini InterBrush are intended for cleaning these areas from food residues and dental microbial plaque, according to Intermed's description.
The 0,5mm is a small number, suitable for narrow gaps that still accommodate a brush without difficulty. Its value is seen when done daily: a thin pass in each gap, once a day, takes a few minutes.
For those with narrow interdental spaces, families or couples who use the same number and want a larger pack, and for those cleaning orthodontic appliances, a use mentioned by the manufacturer.
Place the head in the gap carefully and move it gently back and forth. Once you're done, a quick rinse with water and drying keep the brush ready for the next time.
The manufacturer's warnings: those with narrow gaps should not press down, to avoid gum injury. The movement is only back and forth, and the wire should not bend, as its wear can cause injury.
As soon as you see the bristles opening or tilting, or the wire has taken a curve that doesn't go away. With 8 pieces in the pack, the change is made without waiting.
Rinse it thoroughly with water after use and let it dry upright, in a well-ventilated place.
The regular InterBrush Size 2 comes in 5 pieces, while the Mini comes in 8, with the same diameter of 0,5mm. No other technical differences are mentioned by the manufacturer.
In places where the brush fits, it usually suffices. In very tight contacts, the dentist may recommend floss.
Continue with gentle movements. If the bleeding does not subside in a few days, visit your dentist.
