If you are used to a medium or firm toothbrush but want to protect your gums from recession and enamel wear, the Curaprox CS 1560 Soft is your ideal starting point. While it is the "firmest" of the Curaprox soft range, it remains significantly gentler and more effective than traditional nylon brushes. Featuring 1,560 ultra-fine Curen® filaments, it provides an intensive cleaning experience that breaks up plaque while remaining completely safe for your gum line.
Benefits of soft toothbrush bristles
Most people believe "harder" means "cleaner," but the opposite is true for your oral health. The primary benefit of soft toothbrush bristles is their ability to remove plaque effectively without causing "toothbrush abrasion," which leads to receding gums and worn-out enamel. Unlike hard bristles that can act like sandpaper on the delicate gum line, the CS 1560's soft filaments are flexible enough to contour to the tooth's shape and reach into the gingival sulcus—the critical gap between the tooth and gum where bacteria hide. By switching to a soft brush, you ensure a thorough disruption of the plaque biofilm through high-density contact rather than aggressive scrubbing, preserving your natural gum tissue for the long term.
Why the Curaprox CS 1560 is the "Professional Choice"
- 1,560 Curen® Filaments: A dense cleaning surface far more effective at plaque removal than standard, sparse brushes.
- 0.15mm Diameter: Fine enough to reach the gum line without causing irritation or bleeding.
- Octagonal Handle: Automatically helps you hold the brush at the correct 45-degree angle for optimal cleaning.
- Anatomical Reach: The compact, slightly angled head navigates easily into hard-to-reach areas, ensuring every surface is cleaned.
- Superior Material Stability: Unlike nylon, Curen® filaments do not absorb water, meaning they maintain their shape and cleaning power throughout the life of the brush.
Ideal For:
- Transitioning Users: Perfect for those moving away from hard or medium "supermarket" brushes.
- Enamel Protection: Gently cleans without the "notching" of tooth-necks often caused by stiff bristles.
- Healthy Gums: Ideal for maintaining oral health while preventing the gums from pulling away from the teeth.
How to Use:
- The Angle: Hold the brush like a pen at a 45-degree angle, with half the bristles on the gums and half on the teeth.
- The Motion: Use small, gentle circular movements. Only the slightest pressure is needed to disrupt plaque.
- Brush Daily: For best results, brush twice daily for at least two minutes to ensure all plaque is effectively disrupted.
