Horizontal method
The brushing is based around making “back and forth” movements. Delicate rotary movements are also allowed.
Vertical method
Consists of applying the bristle vertically to the lingual surfaces of the front teeth (along their axis) and then “sweeping away” the food remains stuck in our teeth.
Brushing should be adjusted to both our needs and the state of our teeth. Thanks to regular practices we can easily perfect our brushing technique. The extensive market takes care of improving the brushing quality, but how exactly are we going to use all of the available functions and methods is all dependant mostly on ourselves. We should also remember about choosing the right toothpaste (we can find toothpastes for children, adults and the people in need of a special care of their teeth). It’s worth finding out more about the extras and accessories we can put our money into, as it will have impact on our future. The toothbrush was chosen the best human invention in 2003 for a reason.
