What are Proxabrush Go-Betweens used to clean?

Sunstar Proxabrush Go-Betweens are interdental brushes for cleaning spaces between teeth, bridges, braces, and other hard-to-reach areas.

How do you know which interdental brush size fits?

The correct size is the one that fills the space while the bristles contact the tooth surfaces. Too small leaves plaque behind, while forcing a large brush can injure the papilla or bend the wire.

How should you use an interdental brush each day?

Use it once daily by guiding the brush through the space without snapping it. Curve or angle the handle around back teeth and clean both sides of the space where access allows.

When should you replace the brush or seek advice?

Replace the brush when the bristles flatten or the wire bends, and seek advice if every size causes bleeding, pain, or cannot enter a space. Gum inflammation, calculus, or an open contact may need clinical care.

Which brush size and handle should you discuss?

Ask which brush size fits each area, whether an angled or straight handle is better, and how to clean around any bridge, implant crown, retainer, or braces.

Frequently asked questions

Can an interdental brush replace floss?

It can clean many open spaces effectively, but the best tool depends on the contact shape and dental work.

Why does the brush make my gums bleed?

Inflamed gums may bleed when plaque is disturbed; persistent bleeding or forced insertion should be assessed.
