I bought this a few weeks ago and I absolutely love it! I hate flossing it usually jabs my gums makes them bleed and doesn't get all the food in between. The water flosser is gentle yet effective, I've never had healthier gums!
I bought this because I have to irrigate a gum pocket after laser treatment. I purchased the pocket tip separately and it works very well. The cordless Waterpik is so convenient and easy to use.
I purchased this Waterpik for my 13 year old son who just started his orthodontic treatment. He is able to clean around all of the brackets thoroughly. There is a bit of a learning curve, but well worth the effort. His teeth and gums look great!
Bought this because I always have a problem with my gums, use interdentals. Thought this would be Useful when don't really have much time. It is a bit messy but does the job very well. You have to hold it upright over the sink and when water jet is in your mouth turn it on being careful that it doesn't come out your mouth untill you turn it off. Otherwise it squirts everywhere. You let the water run from your mouth and you can see all the bits of food from between your teeth fall into sink that brushing hasn't removed. Since my gums are more susceptible to plaque, this is a great buy for me. Can put warm water in too, which is great if you have sensitive teeth like me. Would of bought one sooner if I had known that you don't have to put cold water in.
WP-450 works great, but I believe the travel case should be sold with it since it is advertised as a portable device. I didn't like that I had to order the travel case separately and that the stores didn't carry it, so I had to pay extra for shipping. Don't advertise a portable product with out the ability to travel with it!!!
I love the Waterpik it's takes getting use to I seem to spray everything around me LOL, it's a great product I would recommend it to anyone it does the job well.
