PRO-SYS® VarioSonic Plus+: Achieve Professional Dental Cleaning at Home

The human mouth is a bustling ecosystem, home to billions of bacteria, some helpful, some harmful. These bacteria, along with food particles and saliva, constantly form a sticky film on our teeth called plaque. This seemingly innocuous film is the primary culprit behind many common oral health issues, from cavities and bad breath to gingivitis (gum inflammation) and even more serious periodontal disease.

Why Traditional Brushing Might Fall Short

While manual toothbrushes have been a mainstay of oral hygiene for centuries, they have inherent limitations. Effectively removing plaque requires consistent technique, adequate time, and reaching all areas of the mouth, including those hard-to-reach back teeth and the spaces between teeth. Many individuals struggle to maintain the proper brushing technique for the recommended two minutes, often applying too much or too little pressure.

Enter the Sonic Revolution

This is where sonic technology steps in. Sonic toothbrushes, like the PRO-SYS® VarioSonic Plus+, utilize high-frequency vibrations to generate a powerful, yet gentle, cleaning action. Instead of relying solely on the physical scrubbing motion of the bristles, these toothbrushes create rapid micro-movements that dislodge plaque and bacteria even in areas that are difficult to reach with a manual brush.

The PRO-SYS VarioSonic Plus+: A Closer Look

The PRO-SYS VarioSonic Plus+ stands out in the world of sonic toothbrushes due to its comprehensive approach to personalized oral care. Let’s delve into its key features:

Five Modes for Customized Cleaning

Not all mouths are created equal, and neither are their cleaning needs. The VarioSonic Plus+ recognizes this with five distinct brushing modes:

• Gentle: This mode is a savior for individuals with sensitive teeth or gums. It provides a lower-intensity vibration that effectively cleans without causing discomfort or irritation.
• Clean: The everyday workhorse, this mode delivers a thorough clean, removing plaque and debris to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
• Whitening: This mode focuses on polishing away surface stains, helping to restore the natural brightness of your teeth. It’s a great option for those who enjoy coffee, tea, or other staining beverages.
• Massage: Healthy gums are just as important as healthy teeth. This mode provides a gentle, pulsating action that stimulates blood flow in the gum tissue, promoting overall gum health.
• Deep Clean: For an extra-intensive clean, this mode offers a more powerful vibration to tackle stubborn plaque buildup.

Five Unique Brush Heads: Precision Cleaning for Every Need

Just as different areas of your mouth have different cleaning requirements, the VarioSonic Plus+ offers a range of brush heads designed for specific purposes. The variety kit includes five brush heads each designed to address specific dental needs. Whether you’re tackling sensitive teeth or focusing on gum care.

The Pressure Sensor: Your Gum’s Guardian Angel

One of the most common mistakes people make when brushing, whether manually or with an electric toothbrush, is applying too much pressure. This excessive force can damage the delicate gum tissue, leading to recession, and can also wear away tooth enamel over time, increasing sensitivity and the risk of cavities.

The VarioSonic Plus+ features a built-in pressure sensor that acts as a safeguard against this harmful habit. If you press too hard while brushing, the sensor will trigger an alert, usually a change in vibration or a visual indicator, prompting you to reduce the pressure. This helps you develop a gentler, more effective brushing technique, protecting your gums and enamel in the long run. The sensor is not adjustable, but designed for optimal protection.

The Two-Minute Timer: Ensuring a Thorough Clean

Dentists universally recommend brushing for a full two minutes, twice a day. However, studies have shown that many people fall short of this recommendation, often brushing for less than a minute. The VarioSonic Plus+ incorporates a two-minute timer with quadrant pacing. Every 30 seconds, the toothbrush will briefly pause, signaling you to move to a different quadrant of your mouth (upper right, upper left, lower right, lower left). This ensures that you spend adequate time cleaning each area, promoting a consistent and thorough clean.

Behind the Bristles: The Science of Sonic Cleaning

So, how does sonic technology actually work its magic? It’s all about the power of high-frequency vibrations. The VarioSonic Plus+ generates thousands of vibrations per minute. These rapid movements create a phenomenon called “fluid dynamics.”

As the bristles vibrate, they create tiny bubbles in the toothpaste and saliva mixture. These bubbles are then forced into the hard-to-reach areas between teeth and along the gumline. When these bubbles collapse, they create a gentle, yet powerful, cleaning action that dislodges plaque and bacteria, even beyond the direct reach of the bristles. This is significantly more effective than the simple scrubbing action of a manual toothbrush.

Long-term Benefits for lasting health

Regular use of a sonic toothbrush, like the VarioSonic Plus+, can lead to a range of long-term oral health benefits:

• Reduced Plaque and Tartar: The superior cleaning action helps prevent the buildup of plaque and tartar (hardened plaque), reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
• Healthier Gums: By effectively removing plaque along the gumline and stimulating gum tissue, sonic toothbrushes can help prevent and even reverse gingivitis.
• Fresher Breath: Removing bacteria that cause bad breath leads to a noticeably fresher mouth.
• Whiter Teeth: By polishing away surface stains, sonic toothbrushes can help maintain a brighter smile.
• Reduced Tooth Sensitivity: By promoting healthy gums and preventing enamel erosion, sonic toothbrushes can help reduce tooth sensitivity.

Choosing a toothbrush that is correct for you.

Consider sensitivity, gum health and budget.
