Questions & Answers about the TiFinity Toothbrush:
|
Q.
Why would anyone pay $25 for a manual toothbrush?
A.
Many people understand that when they buy the highest quality of a
product, they enjoy the fine workmanship during the life of the product,
but at the same time they save money in the long run. This product is
the finest, most durable and effective toothbrush ever built! Who
knows how much such an effective tool for cleaning your teeth will
save in future dental bills?
Q.
Wouldn’t it be too abrasive to use titanium bristles?
A.
No. The ADA has a standardized test that measures the abrasivity of
toothbrushes and toothpaste. Bruce Schemehorn M.S., an authority
on abrasivity at Indiana University, performed this test and compared it
to nylon. The results of this study were that TiFinity tested out with no
more abrasivity to hard tooth structure than a nylon toothbrush.
Q.
Does the TiFinity manual toothbrush remove plaque as well as
my electric toothbrush?
A.
Yes, as a matter of fact it removes more plaque then your electric
toothbrush. Dentistry’s most respected research institution, Clinical
Research Associates, conducted a study reported in their newsletter
of July 1998. This study measured the plaque removal in a group of 48
patients who used six different toothbrushes, one manual, and five
electric. The patients used the same test brush for six weeks, then
took two weeks off, then rotated to the next device. Plaque scores
were taken for each device at the end of five to six weeks. One device
tested was the Sonicare®. The results were that none of the electric
toothbrushes including the Sonicare® were more effective than the
manual toothbrush in terms of plaque removal. Furthermore, we know
that nylon brushes of any type dramatically drop off in performance as
the bristles begin to splay. This advantage alone of TiFinity
demonstrates that it outperforms any nylon toothbrush including an
electric one. A direct comparison study of the TiFinity™ toothbrush vs.
the Sonicare® has been completed. See scientific studies on this
website for the full report. TiFinity outperformed Sonicare by 15% in
terms of plaque removal.
Q.
Is it safe to keep a toothbrush for as long as the TiFinity™ will
last?
A.
Yes. The TiFinity™ bristle material repels water, and does not promote
bacterial growth like nylon. Also, its super-elastic filaments rebound to
their original position without deforming, therefore, do not collect food
debris or bacteria as readily as nylon.
Q.
How long will the TiFinity™ toothbrush last?
A.
This is determined by each individual's brushing habits. Have you
seen or heard of individuals who seem to trash their toothbrush within
a few days? Naturally a person with these brushing habits cannot
expect to have a life expectancy as one who brushes normally. What
we do know is that your TiFinity™ toothbrush will stay in brand new
condition much longer than a nylon toothbrush. We recommend you
replace your TiFinity™ toothbrush at least every three to six months.
Q.
Will this type of toothbrush cause gum recession?
A.
No. While most people have some areas of gingivitis which is the early
stage of gum disease. As a result of plaque irritating and inflaming the
gum tissue, swelling and inflammation may be present. The gum tissue
often feels and appears to be spongy or puffy. The amazing cleaning
qualities of this brush will penetrate under the gums and between the
teeth much better. As a result, you may experience bleeding initially
from several days up to a few weeks. The puffy gums will become tight
and healthy and thus may recede. Once the gums are tight against the
bone, gum recession will cease.
Q.
How will I know when to throw my TiFinity™ toothbrush away
and replace it?
A.
We recommend you replace your TiFinity every 3 to 6 months. At
some point, usually after 3 to 6 months, the bristles will begin to fail
and fall out of the brush. Once this occurs, replace your TiFinity™
immediately. This is why we recommend that you sign up for our
automated program where we automatically send you a new brush
every 3 to 6 months for a discounted rate.
Q.
Toothbrushes have been made out of nylon for generations.
Why is there a need for change?
A.
Nylon actually is a poor material for a toothbrush when you consider
how fast it wears out rendering it ineffective as well as the unsanitary
nature of the material. Consider this, a recent study has shown that
nylon brushes remove up to 30% less plaque at 3 months, than when
the brush is new. (see Scientific Studies)
Q.
What kind of testing has been done on the TiFinity™?
A.
View test results in our Scientific Studies section.
Q.
So does this mean I don't have to go to any more dental
hygiene appointments?
A.
No. However, your regular dental hygiene appointments will be much
more pleasant since using TiFinity Toothbrush will make your gums
stronger and healthier.
Q.
What difference in my gums and teeth can I expect after using
this toothbrush?
A.
No doubt you will see firmer, healthier, tighter and stronger gum tissue.
Healthy gums are essential to healthy teeth; healthy teeth are
essential to a healthy body.
