Scientists and inventors never cease to amaze us with a variety of new products that make our lives easier. For example, one of the latest developments is ultrasound
a toothbrush - is the most convenient means for
brushing your teeth. It is recommended for use by people who wear braces, crowns, veneers, fillings and implants. This brush is ideal for the
prevention of caries. It will become indispensable for those who suffer from periodontitis, gingivitis and other
diseases of the oral cavity. Despite the complete absence of contraindications, before buying an ultrasonic brush, people who use subcutaneous devices, such as defibrillators or pacemakers, are advised to consult their doctor.
The principle of operation of the ultrasonic brush
The device uses a special energy-saving motor, due to which electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy with an efficiency higher than 90%. Under the brush head is a piezoelectric plate, which performs this conversion function. It also has an indicator that shows that the ultrasound is working. It is necessary so that it does not arise
doubts about the serviceability of the brush, because vibrations of this height cannot be heard.
Under the influence of ultrasound, the bristles sway with a frequency of up to 100 million times per minute, due to which bacterial chains are destroyed. Ultrasonic toothbrushes have different modes of operation: soft and intense. When using an ultrasonic brush, pleasant warmth is felt in the mouth. This heat dilates blood vessels and improves blood microcirculation.
Ultrasonic brush can easily cope with food and tobacco plaque on the teeth. It also contributes to the assimilation by the cells of enamel of useful trace elements that are part of balms and toothpastes.
What is the main difference between an ultrasonic toothbrush and an ordinary toothbrush?
Gentle and gentle cleaning of the oral cavity, high hygiene - these are the most important advantages of an ultrasonic toothbrush. Vibration of ultrasound helps to “whip” the substance from saliva and toothpaste, which will actively fight plaque on the teeth. An ultrasonic toothbrush can clean teeth plaque hundreds of times better than a simple hand brush
or electric.
Cons of ultrasonic brushes
Despite its many benefits, an ultrasonic toothbrush can also be harmful. For example, it reduces the life of crowns, fillings, veneers. Ultrasound contributes to the destruction of demineralized areas of tooth enamel. Awakening of chronic foci of inflammation in damaged teeth is also possible. An ultrasonic toothbrush can cause an exacerbation of some inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity.
This device is not recommended for use by people with pacemakers and pregnant women. Despite the ability to effectively remove plaque, an ultrasonic toothbrush will not cope with even the smallest hard deposits on the teeth, so you still have to go through a dentist's toothbrushing session.
