Purchased this just before having braces placed on my teeth. I am so glad I did. The water flosser has helped me to keep my braces clean in a way I would never be able to obtain by brushing alone.
I found out that brushing alone does not get out all food left between teeth until I used my Waterpik, after brushing. Now, it's the last thing I do at night.
I bought this about 3 weeks ago and really feel it's getting my teeth cleaner. Have a few bridges and it really cleans underneath them. A couple of complaints though. The switch to turn it on is very hard to turn on. And as much as I try the water goes all over I've watched the videos but still can't use it without making a mess.
Since using a water pic flosser, I notice a distinct difference in my gum health and tooth cleanliness. My dentist noticed the difference as well! I tried a hand held rechargeable, but it broke quickly.
