I got braces about 2 months ago, and found that it was extremely difficult to floss my teeth. I heard about the Waterpic and decided to give it a try and am so glad that I did. It is perfect for getting bits of food out of tight spots on braces and doesn't take near as much time as flossing.
Been using mine for about 2 months, and I love it. I bought it because I had some pretty serious gum pockets, and after a root planing I needed to get the pockets under control. I add a decent amount of Listerine to the water and use it at lower pressure, and it has helped improve my gum pockets by 50% or more. It's a little pricey, but way less expensive than oral surgery!
I bought this because I started braces a month ago. I had a really tough time trying to get used to flossing with the special floss. I have read reviews on waterpik can help and so I bought it. Let me tell you, this is an awesome gadget to have to achieve good gum health and reduce the amount on frustration while flossing. You will be surprise what kind of junk comes out between the wires. I am so happy that I invested in something wonderful like this. I know I will continue to use this product even after completion of braces. I can't leave without it. It's so easy to use and it takes little to no effort. After using it for about a week, I notice my gum doesn't look as red and swollen. I would highly recommend anyone who is tired of flossing or just want an extra boost towards good gum health! Cheers!
I bought this but I'm not happy !! Reason is the Waterpik® WP-100 lose water, and the place under the WP100 is always wet !
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have bought two of these. One for myself and one for my hubby. We are older people thus oral hygiene in particular gum health is vitally important as it has an impact on the heart. The waterpik cleans any debris between your teeth away without pain, discomfort or effort. Something I have just thought of. Flossing with cord requires intricate hand and finger flexion. Any form of hand or finger issue can make this very difficult. The waterpik is designed so that even arthritic hands and fingers can hold it with ease. It leaves ones mouth feeling fresh and vibrant. Absolutely great product.
The pressure is not as expected!!! Poor design and messy
