Teeth have 5 sides, and when they are brushed with a conventional toothbrush, only three of these sides are cleaned.
The spaces between teeth are known as interdental, or interproximal, spaces. It is very important to clean these spaces properly, as this is where the most serious oral diseases – tooth decay and periodontal disease – normally begin to develop.
To properly clean open interdental spaces, the use of interproximal brushes is essential.
