Which interdental brush is right for me?

Cleaning between your teeth is important for your oral health. We recommend a combination of toothbrushing and interdental cleaning to remove as much plaque as possible. You can use a single interdental or a combination of interdental brushes, picks and floss. Rubber picks or dental picks are particularly easy to use, so a great option if you're a beginner. The most important thing is to choose an interdental that is comfortable so that you clean every day! Check out our summary table below to help you choose the interdental that's right for you.

The smallest brush diameter is 0.32mm and is designed to clean extremely fine-tooth gaps and inside gum pockets.

The biggest diameter is 1.5mm and is intended for large tooth gaps and cleaning orthodontic appliances.

The size of the brush is identified by the colour of the handle, however there is not much commonality between the different diameters and colour codes on the market.

To make things easier, the table opposite shows the different sizes and colours of Acclean brushes and the nearest TePe equivalents.

TePe vs Acclean Interdental Brushes

TePe is the UK's most famous interdental brush brand, known for their distinctive small and colourful handles.

Before using an interdental brush, it is important to determine that it is the right size. It is often a case of trial and error when it comes to finding the right size. The brush should fit snug and be comfortable without being too tight. Patients should avoid trying to force the brush into spaces, as advised by the NHS. Once the correct fit had been found, the brush should be inserted between teeth and moved backwards and forwards a few times to remove plaque and debris. The whole of the mouth should be worked around so not to miss any spaces, Some small interdental brushes can be slightly bent at the neck to reach the back of the mouth, but continuous bending at severe angles can lead to damage to the wire. Purchasing angled brushes like Acclean can remove the need for bending. Patients should aim to clean their teeth with interdental brushes once a day before brushing.
