OUR CARE CALL

The route we recommend.

Size each interdental brush to the space, never force it, and have the fit demonstrated professionally when possible.

WHY THE LINE CONNECTS

The decision in context.

Use the smallest brush that fills an open space without force; switch to floss when the contact is too tight.

01Decision reasonWHY THIS ROUTE

A brand color is not a universal size; the useful brush fills the space without trauma.

SOURCES TO CHECK

Evidence before confidence.

External statements are attributed. A manufacturer page never becomes our own product result.

EVIDENCE TRAIL

What the sources carry — and what the desk decides.

The linked sources support product status, labeling, or professional boundaries. They do not prove the editorial winner and they do not stand in for an owned test.

EDITORIAL JUDGMENT

Size each interdental brush to the space, never force it, and have the fit demonstrated professionally when possible.

A reasoned course of action; not a product result measured by the source.
BOUNDARY OF THE CALL

Very tight contacts may require floss instead of a brush.

Color codes are not reliably comparable across brands.
