Waterpik Orthodontic Replacement Tip, OD-100E is used for water flossing around orthodontic appliances, including fixed braces, brackets, arch wires, and other bonded orthodontic hardware. The dual-action design combines the hydraulic plaque disruption of the Waterpik's pulsating water jet with the mechanical scrubbing action of an integrated tapered brush end, addressing the food trap zones, plaque stagnation areas, and biofilm accumulation sites around bracket bases and archwires that standard string floss and a plain jet tip cannot access adequately. Each pack contains 2 tips.

Dental offices ordering orthodontic replacement tips from their supplier can buy this dual-action version for patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment, since the tapered brush provides direct mechanical contact with enamel surfaces around the bracket base, the most critical area for white spot lesion prevention during orthodontic treatment. The tapered brush component is positioned at the nozzle tip to engage the enamel surface immediately around the bracket base and along the gingival margin where plaque accumulation during orthodontic treatment is most strongly correlated with gingival inflammation, bleeding on probing, and enamel demineralization. The water jet simultaneously flushes dislodged plaque, food debris, and bacteria away from bracket surfaces and through interproximal spaces where string floss typically cannot be threaded during orthodontic treatment without a floss threader under the archwire. Clinical evidence demonstrates this dual-action cleaning is up to three times more effective for removing plaque around braces compared to toothbrushing and string floss combined.
