As an adult wearing braces for the second time, I love the ease and the convenience of the AirFloss. Traditional flossing takes much longer to do with braces and with "chains". I do spend the time before bed to floss the usual way, but I use the AirFloss after breakfast and lunch. It removes a great deal more than just brushing.
Pros: ease of use, directs air and water exactly where you want it, light-weight
It worked for a little while, then nothing. I was really disappointed. I have sonicare toothbrush and it's had a few problems still works. My daughter like using it but I can't figure out why it won't work charge just faulty engineering
As someone whose had a really rough time of getting into the habit of flossing every night, this device has solved the problem! I bought this about 3 weeks ago and haven't gone a day without using it at least once!
It's really easy to use and actually makes your mouth feel great.
It also leaves just enough mouthwash in my mouth for a good swish around.
That was the problem I had with another product I tried to use, it was a waterfall of fluid coming out of my mouth. Way too messy and water all over the bathroom sink counter top. Plus it was tethered to that machine, making it a little awkward using it.
None of those problems with the Air Floss!
The Philips website could be a LOT better at showing how to use their dental care products for Maximum performance. I would actually expect a much better website... I couldn't even find the videos they show at the store where I bought my brushes and air floss.
I haven't been to my dental hygienist yet to hear what she thinks after she's examined my teeth, but if it's anything close to the claims, I should be in great shape.
Pros: easy to use, mouth feels great after use
Cons: a little expensive but cheaper than a cavity
I grew up in an area without fluoride in the drinking water, so by the time I reached my teens I had terrible teeth. During my freshman year I decided to see a new dentist. His motto was "Only pull a tooth as a last resort". I now have crowns (or caps) on most of my teeth, and the dental floss gets stuck in between my teeth. My new Phillips Sonicare Airfloss does the trick! I use it twice a day, it never gets "stuck", and it massages my gums. I am just sorry I didn't purchase one sooner!
Pros: very easy to use, massages the gums, can be used with mouth wash
I've now used the AirFloss for 6 months. The product works! Even after brushing and flossing, you will find that the AirFloss cleans further! It definitely evacuates food that floss misses and also appears to get at that plaque buidup!
Pros: it cleans more than floss and brushing, it is compact and no wires
Cons: size of water chamber., some angles are tough especially when water is low
