Modern people pay more and more attention to oral health. As a tool that enters the oral cavity every day, toothbrushes are getting more and more attention. However, the material and layout of most toothbrush filaments are relatively simple, and toothbrush manufacturers do not know how to choose toothbrush filaments with good cleaning effect.
The material and layout of the brush filaments are directly related to the cleaning effect. When it comes to toothbrush filaments, nylon filaments are the number one. Nylon filaments are a kind of toothbrush bristles with excellent performance. They have excellent bending resilience and fatigue resistance, and are often used on electric toothbrushes. PBT toothbrush filament is a more popular toothbrush filament material in recent years. It has excellent strength, toughness and resilience, and its unit price is lower than nylon filament. It is one of the economical substitutes for nylon toothbrush filament.
When we buy a toothbrush, we often only pay attention to the shape, pattern, color, handle and price of the toothbrush. However, choosing the right toothbrush filaments is effective for cleaning teeth and protecting the oral cavity.
Generally, the diameter of adult toothbrushes is between 0.18-0.28mm, the diameter of children’s toothbrushes is 0.12-0.15mm, and the diameter of some electric toothbrushes can reach 0.05mm. The materials available for toothbrush making are: nylon bristles, PBT bristles, PP brush filaments, etc. Different toothbrush filaments have different abilities to clean the oral cavity. High-quality nylon silk wool is strong, wear-resistant, elastic, and has strong cleaning ability. PBT bristles are soft, more caring for gums and enamel, with good resilience, and the brush filaments are not easy to deform and have a long service life; PP toothbrush filaments have poor recovery, are easy to bend and fall back, and the bristles are too hard. Brushing too much will damage the gums. To increase the gap between the teeth, it is mostly used in hotels or some relatively cheap toothbrushes.
No matter what kind of toothbrush filament is made of, it is required to be moderately soft, hard and elastic, and the bending recovery rate should not be lower than 40%, which is beneficial to reduce the wear of the gums. The wire diameter is uniform, the brush hair is smooth and does not get stuck, the hair bundles are arranged more neatly, no forks, the spacing is moderate, and the hair ends are smooth and flat. In addition to processing and use, the most important issue is safety. Generally, toothbrush filaments are required to pass the US FDA food-grade certification, and some also need antibacterial functions.
