Global Interdental Brush Market - 2023-2030

Overview

Interdental brushes also known as interproximal brushes are oral hygiene instruments that are used to clean the interdental spaces like space between teeth, brackets, bridges or implants. Their shape is usually cylindrical and much smaller than a normal toothbrush. These brushes typically have a filament that is held in place by a metal wire, a bit like a mini bottle brush. The wire can be angled or bent to make it easier to reach certain spots in the mouth. A handle attached to the wire moves the brush to clean away plaque and food debris trapped between teeth.

Moreover, interdental toothbrushes come in a various range of sizes to suit different needs. The smallest interdental brushes should fit between tightly packed teeth, whereas larger sizes are suitable for cleaning around braces, denture implants and gaps left by missing teeth. Some of the interdental brushes are disposable and some others consist of a longer handle and replaceable brush heads. The lack of hygiene in the interdental spaces leads to the production of dental and peri-implant biofilm. So, these brushes are also used for peri-implant diseases.
