Cleaning technology
All models of irrigators different jet flow:
-
Monostruya. Such devices form a thin continuous stream. This technology is considered outdated, because it is not effectively cleans the oral cavity. - Pulsating jet. The stream of water turns out thin and pulsing. The pulsation is very short, so it is difficult to notice. About 1200 micro pulses occur per minute. Thanks to this feature, micro-hydraulic shocks are created, with the help of which the more efficient removal of leftover food and a soft coating occurs.
- Microbubble technology. This technology is considered the most advanced. Water flow is mixed with air bubbles, thereby creating micro-hydraulic shocks. They help to completely remove the remnants of food between the teeth. Moreover, water is saturated with oxygen, which helps to destroy pathogens. This is of particular importance for patients suffering from periodontitis.
Types of nozzles
Some models of irrigators are included universal nozzles onlywhile others have different sets. This may include attachments for washing periodontal pockets, cleansing the tongue, orthodontic structures, including bridges and dental implants. Some irrigators additionally featured special nozzles, with the help of which it is possible to rinse the nasal cavity. This is very important in the presence of sinusitis and rhinitis.
Many manufacturers produce nozzles with color indicators. This solution will appeal to those who all family members use the same irrigator.
