Give the Collis Curve Toothbrush a Try - It's newer and better than your old toothbrush
For many years American dentist George Collis felt that toothbrushes were difficult for his patients use. The complicated ‘scrub and roll’ technique was hard to teach to children, and many adults also failed to apply it properly. Drawing from his experiences trying to brush his elderly father’s teeth, who had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s at the time, Dr. Collis invented the first ever 3-sided curved bristle toothbrush.

Three-sided Toothbrush
Clean the top, side, and deep into your Sulcus
The two outer rows of curved bristles gently nestle their way between the tooth and the gum line to remove plaque and food debris from the sulcus.
Complicated Brushing
The straight bristle toothbrush requires complicated brushing techniques to reach the sulcus. Some of these include the modified stillman, bass, and fones.
Simplified Brushing
Just do what comes naturally by moving our brush back and forth over your teeth. The unique design of the curved bristle takes care of the rest!
The sulcus
The sulcus is the space between the tooth and the gums.
Food Debris and plaque accumulate in this pocket.
Your Enamel thins out in the sulcus, so cavities here are especially dangerous to the pulp.
The Collis Curve Toothbrush was specifically designed to be easy to use for people with a disability self-brushing or for caregivers providing assistance brushing.
People with disabilities have higher rates of dental caries, gingivitis, and periodontal diseases due to an inability to perform adequate personal oral hygiene on their own or without an assistive device like The Collis Curve Toothbrush.
Some contributing factors may be:
Poor physical coordination or motor skills (like inability to rotate wrist or grip toothbrush)
Poor cognitive skills
Inability to comprehend and learn the importance of oral health (making it necessary to rely on a caregiver for supervision or assistance)
