Features of the nozzles included in the kit

As mentioned above, 5 interchangeable nozzles are supplied with the irrigator at once, each of which has its own functions:

• Standard — there are no bristles on it, it is made in the form of a curved tube that processes directly selected areas. Excellent for dealing with all sorts of plaque. It is comfortable for her to massage the gums, to deal with an unpleasant odor. The nozzle can be used for daily brushing of teeth. In total, there are two such models in the kit, which have color coding. The device is suitable for paired use;
• Special design designed to work with orthodontic constructions and areas between the teeth. It ideally cleans the spaces under braces and other structures, the action of which is aimed at leveling the bite and other operations. In addition, the nozzle will be very useful for people whose teeth are located far from each other. The bristles of this nozzle are soft and not too large, the gums are massaged gently, which eliminates bleeding and improves blood circulation;
• The periodontal tip has the shape of a tube with a soft cone tip made of high-quality polymer. Such a nozzle successfully copes with bacterial plaque. The soft nozzle penetrates into periodontal pockets, removes plaque and plaque from there, the nozzle is an excellent prevention of tartar formation at the gingival margin. The periodontal tip is also used to clean the jaw surface under dentures and bridges;
• Especially for working with the tongue there is a nozzle made in the form of a round spatula. According to dentists, quite a lot of bacteria accumulate on the tongue, so it also needs special cleaning. This nozzle is suitable for everyday cleaning of the tongue, removes up to 99.5% of bacterial plaque and freshens breath.

To replace one nozzle with another, a special button is provided on the body of the device, which, in our opinion, is quite tight, and replacing nozzles with wet hands can be quite difficult.

Despite the fact that the irrigator is a device that absolutely all family members can use, starting from the age of three, nozzles are a subject of personal hygiene, which are recommended for replacement every 6 months.

What are the contraindications?

Despite the huge number of positive aspects associated with the use of an irrigator, there are a number of important factors in the presence of which the use of this device in the oral cavity is not recommended at best, and at worst is strictly prohibited. Professional and experienced dentists distinguish the following:

• Regular bleeding gums of medium and intense type;
• If a person has had implants, prostheses or braces installed just a few days ago, they need to be given some time so that the oral cavity has time to get used to them;
• If the human body has experienced surgery some time ago, then it should be given time to recover;
• The presence of ulcerative formations in the oral cavity is also a serious contraindication for the use of an irrigator;
• Diagnosed suspicion or already determined diagnosis of oncological pathology in the mouth, throat or esophagus of a person.

Since the irrigator is a medical device, we recommend that you consult with a specialist before purchasing it. The doctor will determine if there are contraindications.

How to properly care for the device?

According to the manufacturer, this product is designed for a fairly long service life. In order for the irrigator to last as long as possible, you need to follow simple rules:

• The main unit is strictly forbidden to be immersed in water, so as not to cause a short circuit. After each use, it is recommended to dry the product, wipe it with a soft dry cloth;
• If various kinds of medicinal compositions are used instead of water, the device should be thoroughly rinsed. To do this, the tank is filled with warm water and the irrigator itself is turned on until the water runs out;
• The maximum temperature of the liquid that can be poured into the tank is 50 degrees;
• After each use, it is advisable to rinse the nozzles, and sometimes disinfect them in a solution of chlorhexidine or in hydrogen peroxide at room temperature;
• Store the device in a dry place.

Only purified water should be poured into the tank, in order to avoid clogging of the nozzle nozzles with particles of dirt or salt. Compositions containing infusions of herbs or oily substances are strictly prohibited. It is permissible to fill the reservoir only with special fluids that have been previously approved by the manufacturer.

Features of use and instructions for use

In principle, working with the WI-912 irrigator is not difficult. However, there are a number of important rules. First of all, the manufacturer does not recommend turning on the device if the nozzle is not inserted into the socket, as this can cause the electric motor to overheat and soon disable it. In addition, you should not start the irrigator if the water tank is not filled with liquid.

Your new device comes with an empty battery, so you should charge it beforehand. When this is done, they start filling the tank, this can be done in two ways: through the top hole, removing the tank itself, and through the outer hole, folding the protective cap. The irrigator is filled with either water or a special liquid.

Select and place a suitable nozzle, install it close to the handle. Before using the irrigator, select the intensity of the pressure — this is done using a special button. It is desirable to keep the jet at a right angle towards the gums and teeth.

When the nozzle is in the mouth, it is better to close the lips to prevent splashing. Move the tip by feeling from one tooth to another, trying to linger in the gaps between the teeth themselves. The degree of purification can be seen in the mirror. Excessive application should not be feared, since the jet is distributed over the surface of the enamel quite gently. This allows you to remove plaque and plaque, and save your teeth.

If the device is not used for a long time, it is advisable to rinse it thoroughly. After use, all remaining water should be poured out.

User reviews of B.Well WI-912

Maxim, 35 years old, world

• Lots of nozzles, cleans well. Perfectly kneads the gums, although at first there was a slight bleeding. It disappeared in just 3 or 4 uses. Teeth are visibly whiter. I use ordinary filtered water, I didn’t fill in specialized compounds, but I assume that the effect of them will be even better. High power level, and if necessary, you can adjust the intensity of the jet.

Vera, 26 years old, Yegorievsk

• It cleans teeth very effectively and even effectively, it is a good prevention of bleeding gums. Power can be adjusted directly during use or from time to time, gradually bringing it to the maximum level of work. The kit comes with a fairly large set of nozzles that can rotate, which allows you to brush your teeth and massage your gums from almost any angle and in the most inaccessible places. The case for the device and nozzles is very convenient — it is convenient to take it on the road. For such a functional device and a wide range of equipment, the cost is quite acceptable. In terms of shortcomings, I want to note the not very convenient system for topping up water.

Alexey, 43 years old, Shatura

• This product was recommended to me by a periodontist. Personally, in my opinion, the device is characterized by a very optimal ratio of price and quality. There are many attachments, but I don’t use all of them. However, those that are designed for direct gum massage suited me optimally. The design of the device is attractive, the model does not need a lot of free space, if necessary, you can take it with you on the road. The capacity of the tank is quite enough to work with the entire oral cavity. The assembly is of high quality — even after several months of daily use, I did not find any squeaks or other manufacturing defects, although the case is made exclusively of plastic. I didn’t notice any really ill-conceived moments.
