How to correctly use the irrigator

Use of the oral irrigator is easy, but pre better to consult a dentist to avoid unpleasant consequences.

Operating rules:

• be sure to study the instruction;
• consider the use of liquids and solutions allowed for a particular model;

Portable irrigator

Irrigator for oral cavity portable type or also called portable road. Many take it with you on a trip or a business trip, but you can use at home.

The device is mobile and has small dimensions, which is achieved by combining structural elements into the body-handle:

• Autonomous power supply;
• a removable tank;
• control Panel;
• mechanism;
• pressure regulator (certain models only).

Modern machines are equipped with different variations of liquid supply - monostruya with incessant pressure, microbubbles with an intense and concentrated with a stream of air bubbles, pulsing short the injection.

Portable devices are not equipped with a variety of attachments, they are usually only 1-3. Not all models is a function of the pressure regulator. It is needed in inflammatory processes, as well as the operation of the elderly and children.

The power level of the unit directly affects the processing of the oral cavity. The device provides high power strong pressure. Portable version of a relatively low-power stationary models. Usually index is 500-850 kPa.

Benefits:

• a large variety in different price segments;
• cleaning the gums, tongue and interdental spaces;
• and the use of tap water, and medical equipment;
• no need for a fixed network;

  

• simplification care implants, fillings and braces;
• strengthening of teeth;
• improvement of blood circulation.

Disadvantages:

• fast discharging;
• frequent replenishment of the reservoir;
• limited capacity of the pump;
• plastic fasteners, reducing the service life.

flow irrigator

Irrigator flow variations for oral fixed to a faucet and operate directly from the water supply. His device stands out among other devices lack a hydraulic pump and a small compartment in which the solution is located.

This is because the flow of the oral irrigator operates on a system in which a strong water pressure. A number of devices equipped with more and compressor elements.

Standard device consists of such items as:

• adapter to the water tap, which are suitable for domestic and European bathrooms;
• leather, power regulating water pressure and with nozzles;
• fixing bracket;
• tubing for transporting fluid;
• additional nozzles.

Due to the simplicity of the mechanism, the installation of the unit is fairly easy, and change certain parts of the device, experts recommend every 6 months. Options depend on complex functions. For example, additional nozzles in typical variations are not provided.

But when the irrigator exploit all members of the family, it is advisable to use colored nozzles. Also, those who have false teeth and braces will be useful tip that removes plaque from the gum.

The steps of the flow assembly oral irrigator:

1. Spun a full-time crane attachment.
2. Choose a suitable adapter, which is included in the kit.
3. Screw Allen key tip using gaskets.
4. Tightening the threaded housing on the edge of the mounted adapter.
5. Inserted into the lower end of the tube, through which liquid is supplied, in the hole.
6. Set the box on a working handle.
7. Place the bracket on the wall.

Operation of the device involves several steps - set individual nozzle, is started up water and the mouth cavity is treated by adjusting the pressure. Nozzle tips are placed in a half-open rock, leaning on the sink to the drain water flows.

Benefits:

• independence from the electrical network, all functions thanks to the pressure of water supply;
• safety in the operation;
• comfort in operation, due to a simple bundle;
• flow control;
• universal fastening on the crane, different adapters are used in the bathrooms of various types;
• small size;
• additional water filtration;
• continuous liquid flow.

Disadvantages:

The principle of operation is based on the following - the liquid is poured into the container, after which it is transported through a hose into the handle, and then later in the mouth.

The design of fixed device:

• hydraulic pump with electric drive in a housing made of plastic;
• compartment with seats for the nozzles;
• container with graduations;
• handle attached to the body.

To the body attached handle assembly through a special flexible hose through which the water flows. The front of the central unit is program selection knob, the fluid pressure. On the handle there off the solution feed button. Family units are sometimes equipped with a large number of programs - up to 10 pieces, and a different number of nozzles.

irrigator must take into account certain criteria to select the optimal model:

• the number of nozzles;
• reservoir value;
• operating procedure;

cup size for a set of solutions is chosen, taking into account how many people will use the device. The smallest figure is 0.6 liters, and it is sufficient to perform multiple procedures. Manufacturers produce capacity and with greater capacity.

Particular attention is paid to the technology of the jet. continuous liquid feed program is typical for older models. Assemblies made of innovative technologies, and using a pulsating fluid flow microbubble embodiment.

The first method generates a large number of pulses - 60 seconds up to 1700 times. They act purposefully and remove food debris from hard to reach places. Pulse jet good chips plaque on tooth enamel.

Microbubble method involves exposure of the jet from the air bubbles. They are mixed with water jets and quickly hit on the tooth surface. In addition to cleaning effects such technology has a bactericidal effect due to oxygen in the liquid.

In addition there are tools for washing and cleaning the nasopharynx surface of the tongue. The first type is suitable for the implementation of preventive and therapeutic measures for colds.

Family devices may have different programs to work. Basically, power and jet supply options can be adjusted. Children and people with sensitive gums suitable program with a little pressure. Monostruyu can be used for rinsing, and the pulse mode for massage and cleansing.

Benefits:

• easily parsed design that allows qualitative disinfection system components;
• operation of several programs;
• more power, which makes it possible to increase the ink-jet head;
• equipment by several nozzles.

Minuses:

• impressive size;
• strong vibration (in certain models).

variety of nozzles

There irrigators models which are equipped with a typical nozzles for cleaning teeth and oral cavity, while others - replaceable suitable for:
