Irrigator or ultrasonic toothbrush: which is better for cleaning teeth, description, characteristics
It is very important to regularly take care of the health of your teeth and oral cavity, because any disease is easier to prevent than to treat. Moreover, progress is constantly moving forward, and for high-quality dental care, many products and methods have been created that greatly facilitate the cleaning process. Innovative devices for cleaning teeth are an irrigator and an ultrasonic brush. Let's figure out what these devices are and which ones are best suited for cleaning teeth.
Many people believe that an irrigator is a device for professional dental and oral care, which is carried out exclusively in a clinical setting. But this is a misconception. Using an irrigator is also advisable at home, and in some cases, thorough cleaning is generally impossible without this device. Using an irrigator, you can clean the oral cavity of bacterial plaque, remove food debris in places that are difficult to reach with a regular brush, and also provide additional gum care in the form of massage. It is unlikely that you will be able to clean your teeth as effectively with a regular brush as you can with an irrigator.
An ultrasonic brush is also an indispensable device for home dental care. Ultrasound has a mild therapeutic effect and also has a positive effect on the microflora of the oral cavity.

An ultrasonic brush has many advantages:
- Significantly suppresses the growth of bacteria in the oral cavity, accelerates the process of tissue regeneration, and effectively fights caries.

- An ultrasonic brush can be used even with braces or dentures.
- Using an ultrasonic brush, you will significantly save toothpaste consumption.
- Ultrasound does not destroy enamel. Ideal for people with sensitive gums.
It is difficult to say definitively which technique is best for your teeth and oral cavity, since both devices have proven positive and long-lasting effects.

What is the operating principle of an irrigator and an ultrasonic toothbrush: comparison of models, review
The principle of operation of the irrigator. The operation of the device is based on the flow of a powerful jet stream under high pressure, aimed at those areas of the oral cavity that require cleaning. With the help of this mechanism, food debris and plaque are removed with the help of an irrigator, and bacteria are washed out. With the help of a massage effect, the irrigator improves blood circulation.
