The short answer
A Proxabrush Go-Betweens is an interdental brush with a small handle and replaceable wire-core brush used to clean spaces between teeth and around dental appliances.
Why can interdental brushes reach areas toothbrushes miss?
The bristles remove plaque from surfaces a toothbrush cannot reach, especially around braces, bridges, implants, and open gaps.
How should you use and replace an interdental brush?
Choose a size that enters with gentle resistance and does not force the wire; pass it through once or several times, rinse it, and replace it when bent or worn.
When should painful or bleeding gaps be checked by a dentist?
Seek dental care for repeated bleeding, pain, swelling, or a gap that cannot be cleaned because the correct brush size may need adjustment.
What should you ask about brush sizes and other cleaning tools?
Ask which diameter fits each space and whether floss, a water flosser, or another tool is better for a particular area.
