stream. Keep your mouth slightly open to allow the
water to run into the sink.

degrees, so that contact is made where the tooth and
gums meet. Manoeuvre the flow of water from tooth to
tooth remembering to pause briefly between each tooth.

SPECIAL
PERIODONTAL TIP
Place the periodontal tip in contact between teeth and
the gumline. Lean the soft tip against a tooth at a
45-degree angle and gently place the tip under the
gumline, into the pocket. Start the irrigator by setting it
at the lowest pressure and clean by gently following
gumline, inserting the periodontal tip in between teeth.
Continue tracing along the gumline to massage the
gums and safely deliver solution into the gingival
pockets below the gumline.
ACCESSORIES Tongue Cleaner Tip
Lean your head over the sink. Glide the pressure button to
the lowest setting. Start the irrigator and place the tongue
cleaner at the back of your tongue and move it forward to
clean your tongue. Repeat to cover entire tongue. Set the
pressure to the lowest setting and adjust to a higher setting
for more water pressure as it feels comfortable.

Orthodontic Tip
Use the Orthodontic Tip to simultaneously brush and
rinse hard-to-reach areas around braces, crowns,
bridges and implants. Start on the last molar (back
tooth). Place tip at 90degree angle to the tooth at the
gumline. Gently glide tip along gumline, pausing
briefly to lightly brush area between teeth and all
around orthodontic bracket, before proceeding to the
next tooth and outside of both the upper and lower
teeth. Continue process until you have cleaned the
inside
Toothbrush Tip
Put the brush head tip into your mouth before switching on
the irrigator. Move the brush head gently along your teeth
and gumline region and allow the brush head to stay on the
surface of each tooth for a few seconds with a slight gliding
motion for the best teeth cleaning and gum massaging
effect. This action loosen debris and larger food particles
before flushing them away — ideal for all dental work,
including fixed and removable appliances.
