Hey everyone.... I've been wanting to try out TePe interdental brushes, since they look a lot more slender than the proxy brushes I can find at the supermarket. I'm looking for something good to clean around my molar bands. However, the only place I've been able to find them is online at dentist.net. I went to order a proximal brush and some interdental refills, then I realized with shipping my whole order would be somewhere around $20.
I'm as cheap as the day is long, and couldn't bring myself to pay $20 bucks for one brush handle and a handful of brush refills.
So, a couple of questions:
Are TePe brushes worth the expense?
Can I find them (or a similar product?) anywhere (US) cheaper?
I buy el cheapo supermarket normal sized proxy brushes for scrubbing round my brackets, but I also buy the pink Tepe (0.4mm, the skinniest) as they slip between crowded teeth very nicely.
They're sold in chemists in the UK but I believe they also sell them on ebay. Have you tried looking there?
