ISSATM HYBRID OVERVIEW
The ISSATM Hybrid has a revolutionary design that combines PBT polymer with silicone bristles for more
vigorous brushing of the teeth while gently cleaning the gums. Utilizing innovative Sonic Pulse Technology,
the ISSATM Hybrid channels 11,000 high-intensity pulsations per minute, creating micro-sweeps that break
up and remove plaque, preventing tartar buildup and cavities.
The ISSATM Hybrid is meant to be used in the same manner as a manual toothbrush with the best results
coming from using it for at least 2 minutes twice a day.
