The Braun Oral-B Interclean
is an innovative interdental plaque
remover. Please read the use
instructions thoroughly before
first use.
Thorough, effective oral hygiene
means more than just brushing your
teeth. Plaque bacteria accumulate
particularly in spaces between the
teeth, where a toothbrush cannot
reach – and where gum disease
most frequently begins.
The Braun Oral-B Interclean interdental plaque remover has been
developed with leading dental professionals to disrupt and remove
plaque from between the teeth.
Clinical tests have proven that the
Braun Oral-B Interclean is effecive,
like dental floss, in reducing gingivitis. However, the Braun Oral-B
Interclean is much easier to use
than dental floss – which makes
it much easier to integrate into a
routine of daily interdental plaque
removal. Use the Braun Oral-B
Interclean once a day, every day
and before toothbrushing, so that
any loosened plaque can be swept
away by brushing.
The Braun Oral-B Interclean should
be able to clean most normal interdental spaces. Because every dentition is different, there may be some
interdental areas which neither dental floss nor the Braun Oral-B Interclean can clean properly, such as
under bridges or around implants.
For special interdental needs
please consult your dentist or
hygienist about products such as
Oral-B Super Floss™ or the Oral-B
Interdental Brush System.

Using the Braun Oral-B
Interclean
To ensure correct placement of the
tip at the gumline, always use in
front of a mirror. Interdental cleaning should always be done before
toothbrushing, so that any loosened
plaque can be swept away by
brushing.
●
For hygienic reasons alwa
ys
begin with a new tip, since the
Interclean filament removes
plaque bacteria.
●
To ensure correct placement,
press the new tip into the sleeve
firml
y until it snaps into place (b).
●
Before starting, check that the
filament comes out and rotates
when the switch is pressed (c).
You should also check this
periodically during the cleaning
session.
●
To ensure correct entry into the
interdental space, hold the appliance horizontally, just like a
toothbrush (d), and at a 90 °
angle to the teeth (e). Start with
the space between the two front
teeth.
●
The filament is extremely thin to
be able to pass into the interdental space. For this reason it is
fragile and must be handled with
care.
It is of key importance that the
tip first be positioned at the
interdental space, before the
appliance is turned on.
Slowly push the switch to its end
position and simply hold still two
to three seconds.
●
The cleaning action occurs at the
interdental space, directly at the
gumline. Let the filament do all
the work with its rapidly spinning
movement. Do not move the
appliance back and forth or up
and down between the teeth.
●
First release the switch to turn off
the appliance, then
move to the
next interdental space.
●
Clean the interdental spaces in a
systematic way: first between all
teeth of the upper jaw, then between all teeth of the lower jaw (f).
If you have not been used to regular
interdental cleaning, your gums
may bleed the first few times you
use the Braun Oral-B Interclean.
This may mean that you need to
clean between the teeth more
regularly. Bleeding should generally
stop after a few days; should it
persist after 2 weeks, please
consult your dentist or hygienist.

Because of the rechargeable cells
there is no need for a cord. This
makes handling simple. The Braun
Oral-B Interclean is inductively
charged and electrically safe. It can
be stored and used in the bathroom
without hesitation.
This product contains a
nickel-cadmium cell. In the
interest of protecting the
environment, please do not

at a Braun Service Centre or at
appropriate collection sites provided
in your country. Please also see the

Preserving the rechargeable cell
To maximize the capacity and life of
