10 Best Oral Irrigators in 2020

According to many dentists, an irrigator is not only an indispensable device for thorough cleaning of the oral cavity, but also an excellent assistant in the prevention of dental diseases.

The modern market is filled with models of stationary and portable irrigators - it is up to the buyer to decide which one is better to choose.

A detailed review and rating of new and proven devices that have earned high marks from experienced users and experts will help you understand the features and differences of devices.

Why do you need an irrigator?

1. For the prevention of caries. The irrigator helps get rid of plaque on the teeth and tongue. It also cleans hard-to-reach places - molars, wisdom teeth, interdental spaces and orthodontic structures.
2. For the prevention and treatment of gum diseases. The irrigator improves blood circulation in the gums and accelerates the regeneration process. This helps strengthen them and reduce bleeding.
3. For the care of implants, crowns, bridges, braces and other structures. The irrigator rinses them and the cavities behind them.
4. To eliminate the causes of bad breath.
5. For the prevention of gingivitis. The disease can occur in pregnant and lactating women due to deterioration of blood supply to the mucous membranes.

There are no contraindications to using the irrigator.

Waterpik WP 450

The veteran of the fight against bacterial plaque, Waterpik WP 450, closes the top five most popular portable irrigators. It is preferred by conservatives who value stability and tradition. The model fully meets these needs. An easy-to-use and reliable model of stars from the sky is in short supply, limited to modest technical indicators and a respectable price.

Sliding power and mode switches evoke real nostalgia among connoisseurs of retro style. There are only two modes, designated by Roman numerals I and II. But the set includes four interchangeable nozzles:

• Standard;
• Orthodontic;
• For implant care;
• For cleaning the surface of the tongue.

The case is made of high-quality plastic that is protected from moisture. The installed nozzle is securely fixed, there is no play or leakage.

Types of irrigators

Irrigators are stationary and portable. For home use, it is better to choose a stationary one - it is more reliable and will last longer. Some of them can be mounted on the wall. This is useful if you have limited sink space.

If there is no outlet in the bathroom, you can choose a portable irrigator - it runs on a battery and can be charged anywhere. A portable irrigator is lighter and smaller than a stationary one - it is convenient to take it on trips.

The first important parameter for choosing an irrigator is the power of the water jet. A portable irrigator must have a power of at least 520 kilopascals (kPa), and a stationary one must have a power of at least 550 kPa. The second selection parameter is the number of jet pulsations per minute. The optimal value is 1200 pulsations.

Irrigators also differ in their mode switching system. For stationary ones, mode switching occurs smoothly, for portable ones - stepwise. If the waterpik is used by children or people with gum disease, it will be more difficult for them to adjust the comfortable power on a portable one.

Top 10 best models according to the Techrevizor channel:

Nozzles and their types

The irrigator comes with one or more attachments. Remember that each family member should have their own. Nozzles can be purchased and changed. Here are the types of attachments:

• The standard brush head is suitable for cleaning healthy teeth and gums.
• An orthodontic attachment is needed to remove plaque under braces and under the gingival margin. For these purposes, you can use a standard attachment, but the orthodontic one is more convenient.
• A periodontal nozzle with a thin soft rubber tip directs the jet beyond the gingival margin and into the periodontal pocket. It cannot be used at maximum power.
• The plaque remover is effective for treating implants, crowns and bridges. At its tip there are 3 tufts of bristles.
• The tongue cleaner removes plaque from the tongue and cheeks, eliminating the cause of bad odor.
• For additional plaque removal there is a brush attachment. But it cannot replace a regular toothbrush.
• A nasal nozzle is needed to irrigate the nasal cavity during the treatment or prevention of rhinitis and sinusitis.

A standard waterpik head should be replaced approximately every six months, while periodontal, orthodontic and brush heads should be replaced every three months. Remember that each family member should have their own nozzle.

Types of irrigators

Differences in design

Stationary

The design is large, not suitable for frequent transportation due to its size and power connection. Depending on the volume of the container, it can be individual or family, used by several people; for this purpose, the kit includes attachments with different color markers.

Portable

This is a mobile irrigator that runs on battery power. The water tank is small, but its volume is enough for cleaning one time. The jet pressure is much lower than in stationary ones. Convenient for travel or when used by one person. The cost is higher, but the equipment is minimal.

From the water supply

The design is simpler than the previous ones. It is connected to a water supply tap and operates from its pressure, therefore it does not have a container for liquid. The disadvantage of the design is the inability to use liquids other than water. It is difficult to regulate the water pressure and, most often, there is a complete lack of modes.

According to the operating principle

Irrigators are divided into categories based on the principle of supplying a stream of water. 80% of irrigators on the market are pulsed.

Pulse

Creates water hammer with a thin stream of water, the number of pulses is from 1200 per minute or more, depending on the model. Microscopic hydraulic shocks increase the effectiveness of removing plaque from teeth. We recommend it to people susceptible to gingivitis and periodontal disease.

Pros of a pulse irrigator:

• The impulses do not cause discomfort.
• Performs a massage of soft tissues, improves blood flow in them.
• Highly effective in removing old and fresh plaque in the space between teeth and in the postmolar area.

Minuses:

• Requires frequent replacement of attachments.

Microbubble

Most dentists call this technology the most effective. It works on the principle of saturating the supplied water stream with air bubbles. This mixture effectively removes all food debris from the interdental space, removes plaque, and reduces the number of pathogenic bacteria in the mouth. Models with microbubble supply operate in soft and standard operating modes and differ in the strength of the supplied jet. Can be used for washing the nasopharynx and nose, treating periodontal disease, gingivitis, periodontitis.

Pros:

• Special attachments strengthen gum tissue and stop the development of various diseases.
• Excellent for cleaning crevices between teeth and gum pockets.
• Antibacterial effect due to air bubbles.

Minuses:

• Cannot be used for periodontitis.
• The price is 30% higher compared to impulse.

Monojet

Design with connection to the water supply system, which ensures a constant flow of water, the pressure is maintained by the water supply system. This is an adapter for a faucet with a hose that turns into a handle with a nozzle. Since there is no container for pouring the necessary liquid, a special capsule with antibacterial liquid may be included with the device. Monojet effectively fights the occurrence of various diseases of teeth and gums.

Pros:

• Simplicity of the design itself and its use.
• Low cost.
• Can be used without a power source.
• Combating gum and dental diseases.

Minuses:

• Low efficiency compared to the previous two.
• Installation on the tap before each use, not in all models.
• Demanding about the quality of tap water.
• No modes.
• Difficult to regulate pressure.
• Morally outdated.

Balms for irrigator

The use of special balms for the irrigator can enhance the effect of the procedure, as their components have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. The choice of liquid depends on your goals. Some liquids help strengthen enamel, others are effective against inflammatory gum diseases, and others have a complex effect. On our website you can buy liquids for irrigators from the companies Donfeel, Professor Persin, Albadent and Iriks. The store also has profitable sets of several bottles.

How to choose a liquid for an irrigator

When choosing a liquid for an irrigator, you should take into account its composition and purpose. You should not pour running water into the irrigator - it may contain impurities harmful to the enamel. Depending on the active substances, solutions can be intended for:

• Strengthens enamel due to fluoride content.
• Treatment and prophylactic purposes. This rinse usually contains antiseptics and herbal extracts.
• Fresh breath. The composition usually includes mint, menthol or eucalyptus.
• Treatment of periodontal disease - contains bioantioxidants and anti-caries additives.

Allergy sufferers are advised to choose hypoallergenic balms.

How to choose a liquid for an irrigator

Which irrigator liquid is best? This question cannot be answered unambiguously. Each formulation is designed specifically to address specific dental problems. For example, liquids with a wound-healing and antiseptic effect are suitable for treating gums prone to bleeding, and formulations with fluoride and calcium are suitable for cleaning teeth with increased sensitivity.

It should also be remembered that professional formulations are not suitable for home use. Such products have contraindications, so treatment is carried out only under the supervision of a dentist.

If a patient has a tendency to allergic reactions, he is prescribed hypoallergenic balms with the most neutral composition. For children, you should choose products that do not contain alcohol.

To avoid complications, when choosing a liquid for an irrigator, it is recommended to consult a dentist. This rule applies to both therapeutic and prophylactic agents.

Irrigator care

Here are a few rules for caring for irrigators:

• Do not touch the charger with wet hands;
• Do not allow the device connected to the network to come into contact with water;
• Carefully monitor the integrity of the cord;
• Do not wipe the case with alcohol;
• The device should not be located near heating devices;
• Fill the reservoir only with water and special balms for the irrigator;
• While the irrigator is operating, do not hold the pause button for long - the motor may burn out;
• Use only attachments recommended by the manufacturer;
• If you take the waterpik on the road in winter, there should be no water in it - otherwise it will freeze and the device will break. To remove all the water, turn on the irrigator and let it run until all the liquid comes out.

How often should you use an irrigator?

Considering that this device is used as an auxiliary measure and does not replace standard cleaning, the frequency of use should be chosen depending on the general condition of the oral cavity of each person.

It is believed that it is correct to carry out this treatment every time after eating. It is clear that due to certain circumstances, this is practically impossible. In this regard, cleaning 2 times a day will be sufficient.

First you need to brush your teeth very well, carefully treating each one separately. After this, you can proceed to rinsing the oral cavity with an irrigator. The final stage will be massaging the gums with water. It is better to apply more pressure to achieve the best results.

If everything goes well during the first 2 weeks, then use of this product can be continued and the number of procedures can be reduced to 4-5 per week. If any problems arise, you cannot put off visiting a doctor and you must stop using it.

It is prohibited for use by children under 6 years of age, persons who have undergone dental surgery and those who have an exacerbation of diseases in the oral cavity.

Misconceptions

1. “An irrigator can replace a toothbrush.”
   Using a toothbrush is essential for quality oral care. An irrigator is an additional hygiene product; it can replace dental floss, but not a brush and toothpaste.
2. “It is enough to use the irrigator a couple of times a week.”
   The irrigator should be used every time after brushing your teeth, that is, in the morning and in the evening.
3. “You definitely need to use balms for irrigators.”
   You can use an irrigator with regular warm water. It must be filtered or boiled. Irrigator balms help fight some diseases, but their use is not necessary.
4. “Irrigators can be filled with herbal infusions and regular mouth rinses.”
   Only water and special balms can be poured into the irrigator. Mouthwashes foam heavily in the reservoir, and herbal infusions leave a sediment. All this can quickly break the device.
5. “The fluid supply hose must be long
   . The hose should not be too long, as you will still have to bend over the sink when using the waterpik. There is no point in using the device while standing.
6. “The more power levels a irrigator has, the better it is.”
   Modern irrigators have smooth power adjustment, and the number of divisions on the toggle switch is quite arbitrary.

Advantages of portable irrigators

The main advantage of portable oral irrigators is the ability to take them with you on the road. This device will fit in your purse or backpack. There are even folding devices, the size of which when folded does not exceed 13 cm. Other advantages can be highlighted:

• They make virtually no noise.
• Powered by batteries.
• Easy to use even for children.
• They have a stylish design.

Portable oral irrigators have few disadvantages. They come with fewer attachments than stationary ones, but they can be purchased separately for any model. Portable devices have a small reservoir for liquid, but it is enough for one procedure, and after its completion, the water still has to be poured out of the container. They are not cheap, but the choice of portable models is so wide that you can easily choose a high-quality, functional and stylish irrigator at a very reasonable price.

Total: which irrigator is better to choose?

The choice of irrigator depends on your lifestyle, the nature of your dental problems and the number of future users.

Stationary or portable

— If you need the device on business trips and trips, choose a portable, travel irrigator. Pay attention to the volume of the tank, the presence of a carrying case and the battery capacity. When choosing a portable irrigator, check whether it has a remaining charge indicator. If it is not there, a sudden discharge of the device can be an unpleasant surprise.

— If it is possible to install a stationary irrigator at home, choose it, it will last longer. When purchasing, pay attention to the length of the cable - it should allow you to place the device in a convenient place. Among the advantages of a stationary irrigator are: high power, a spacious tank, and a large selection of nozzles.

Recommendations

— If you need an irrigator for braces, dentures or crowns, choose an irrigator with a special attachment included. — If you are buying an irrigator for a large family, choose models with a large tank and the required number of nozzles. — If the irrigator will be used by children or people with gum disease, then the operating mode should be more gentle. The lower the minimum power of the device, the more comfortable they will be.

Revyline RL 210

Almost every fourth portable irrigator purchased in 2019 was of this brand. The RL 210 went on sale only at the beginning of this year and in such a short period of time it was able to fall in love with customers so much that there was no place in their hearts for many other models. This model has everything it needs for such success.

The high level of maximum pressure of the water flow, good equipment and low cost of the device are the most important qualities that ensured its victory. The irrigator has a classic body design. A small reservoir is made in the form of a flowing drop of resin on the back surface of the body. The control panel is simple: a power button and a button for switching operating modes.

Revyline RL 210 can operate in three modes: normal, soft and pulsating. You can charge the built-in battery either from a household electrical outlet or via a USB cable (supplied) from other gadgets. The charge lasts for 14 days of operation, provided that the irrigator works twice a day for two minutes.

Dentist advice: what should you consider when buying an irrigator?

1. For home care, it is better to use full-fledged portable devices; leave the portable ones for travel.
2. For family use, buy irrigators with a spacious water tank and a sufficient number of nozzles.
3. For prevention, you can buy a budget option with classic attachments, but when installing implants, braces, or for systematic dental diseases, give preference to models with expanded equipment.
4. For people with sensitive teeth and children, the irrigator is only suitable with adjustable pressure and gentle mode.

Experts on the benefits and harms of an irrigator

Experts recommend that you be very careful when choosing equipment. A positive result can be achieved by choosing the optimal model.

An important factor in success in the fight against inflammatory processes and bleeding gums is the correct handling of equipment. When discussing the benefits and harms of an irrigator, let's think logically.

Will doctors really use technology that can cause negative consequences for the patient? Will the staff of the dental office, and the entire clinic, put their reputation on the line? The answer is obvious - no.

This means that it is completely absurd to say that an irrigation device can cause harm. On the other hand, ignoring the opinion of experts can be harmful.

The neat cylindrical irrigator looks elegant and at the same time very modern. The device is quite compact and lightweight (less than a kilogram), but its reservoir holds 600 ml of water, which is enough for a couple of procedures.

The device uses ultrasound to saturate the liquid with many microscopic air bubbles. In this case, water is supplied pulsed at a high frequency, reaching 1900 pulses per minute.

The irrigator operates in virtually one mode, but has a flexible 10-stage pressure control system (from 390 to 650 kPa).
