Model of the replacement head

Models of replacement heads supplied with the device.

This information is valuable for assessing the capabilities of a specific model and for sourcing additional, spare, or replacement nozzles, particularly for toothbrushes and dental centers that naturally use such devices (as indicated in "Type"). Firstly, it's advisable to replace the heads in these devices every 3-6 months, similar to regular toothbrushes. Secondly, if each user purchases their own nozzle while sharing a single handle, it's a cost-effective alternative to buying a separate brush for each individual, although it may be less convenient. Regardless, knowing the model of the interchangeable nozzle will save you time and effort when searching for compatible accessories.

Power / intensity modes

The number of power modes provided in the device. For flossing systems (see "Type"), this paragraph takes into account the characteristics of the irrigator; data on the toothbrush (if they differ) are indicated in the note.

It's important to distinguish between the number of power settings and the number of operating modes, as these are distinct parameters. Refer to the "Operating modes" section for details on the various modes. In this context, we emphasize that power adjustment, if available, may not be accessible in all modes. For example, in an irrigator offering two modes of operation—continuous jet and pulsation—power adjustment might only be available in the continuous jet mode.

Having multiple power settings enhances the versatility of the device. Even if a device technically offers only one operating mode, the ability to adjust the intensity of the treatment allows users to tailor the device for various tasks. For instance, in many toothbrushes, the traditional 2D brushing mode at its lowest power setting effectively serves as a gentle treatment option. However, it's worth noting that the capability to adjust power levels can somewhat increase the device's cost.

USB charging

The ability to charge the battery in the device from a standard USB port.

Refer to the "Type of power" section for battery details. Charging via USB offers several advantages over traditional mains charging. The primary benefit is the widespread availability of USB ports in computers, laptops, tablets, and various electronic devices. USB connectors are standard outputs in portable power banks, and USB adapters can convert 230V socket and car cigarette lighter socket outputs. This power source allows you to charge your toothbrush or irrigator not only from mains power but also from various other sources, even when sockets are unavailable, such as from a laptop or a power bank. This is particularly convenient during travel.

Another notable aspect of this charging method is that it often eliminates the need for a dedicated charger. All you need is a basic cable to connect the toothbrush or irrigator to a USB port. Typically, such a cable is included with the device, and the device itself features a standard microUSB port for power connection. This flexibility allows you to use alternative cables if needed, which are compatible with the plug type, making it more convenient and adaptable.

However, it's important to mention that these standard sockets on the device are not well-suited for use with charging stands, as discussed in the "Additionally in the kit" section. Consequently, some toothbrushes and irrigators...that use USB charging may not include charging stands at all, while others employ a unique design. In these cases, a dedicated socket for the charging stand is integrated into the device, and USB charging becomes accessible when the device is placed within a travel case, which also serves as a transitional component.
