I just got a Rota-dent system and love it!

I tried the Rotadent at the dentist office (as you can only buy it in Canada from the dentist themselves).

I can't believe how much stuff came out of my teeth when I used it at the dentist. I tried it after I had rinsed, brushed with the manual toothbrush, flossed and rinsed again at home beforehand.

I am hoping I as excited when I try it tomorrow after the braces go on

I agree, bought one shortly after Christmas and just love it. There is the brush with the tip on the end that is great for cleaning your braces. I use a regular toothbrush first to get the worst of the "stuff" out my teeth and braces, then go back and use the Rotodent, it is amazing, much better than a water pick I think. And yes, just like you, here in the US we can only get them through dentists. Top it off, it has a lifetime warrenty that even covers the battery, can't beat that! Let me know how much you like it.

It's just the best! I started using mine the same day I got my braces put on and I would be lost without it... it's sad how dependant I am on a toothbrush!

I know what you mean. The Rota-dent works really well. It amazes me how easy it is to use and what stuff it gets out.

I would be so lost now if I didn't have my Rota-dent and the inter-dental brushes.

Now if I can just get use to this new way of flossing...that is taking some time

Now I'm interested in this toothbrush. How much did you guys pay for it? I live in Canada.

The cost of my Rotadent was rolled into my overall treatment cost. I think my dentist sells them for somewhere in the $125 neighborhood. It sounds like a lot for a toothbrush, but it's really worth it (and actually I saw some even more expensive Oral B type brushes at Target last week).

I live in Ontario and my dentist sells it for $129. Part of that cost was reimbursement by my company dental plan as you get a 10 min instruction from the hygentist on how to use it properly. It comes with a lifetime warranty. It is a worthwhile investment!

It comes with regular heads, make sure you ask for the Ortho heads for it. They are a little longer and clean under the wire really well.
