What does the TePe Size Finder actually measure?
It helps identify the correct TePe interdental brush size for each space between the teeth, since interdental spaces can vary throughout the mouth.
The TePe Size Finder is intended for single use
We encourage patients to take it home and reassess their interdental spaces over time. As their oral health improves and inflammation decreases, they may find they need to transition to a larger interdental brush size for a more effective fit.
How does the Size Finder connect to TePe brush colours?
The TePe Size Finder is colour-coded to correspond with TePe interdental brush sizes, making it easier to match the right brush to the space.
Can dental professionals use the Size Finder chairside with patients?
Yes – TePe describes it as useful for both at-home users and dental professionals, and it can help support personalized product recommendations
Should the Size Finder feel snug or loose?
It should feel snug enough that the bristles contact the tooth surfaces, but the wire should not touch the teeth or gums.
What if the Size Finder won't fit into a space?
Never force it. If it does not slide in gently, then floss might be a better option for cleaning between your teeth.
What do I do after I find the right size?
Once the correct size is identified, the patient can choose the matching TePe interdental brush size for daily interdental cleaning.
