Ting Tang Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 My 11 year old is getting an expander and then braces, and he won't be the last in the family. Do you have one that you love? Would buying a cheap $30 one be good enough? We already use an electric toothbrush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dianthus Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 I bought a kids waterpik on Amazon when dd was about 7 in an expander and used for her first round of braces. However, I'd just buy the one from Costco. It is waterpik brand and comes with a travel model, so you'd have 2 waterpiks if you need one for another child. They regularly go on sale. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look a wee bit different from ones our dentist gives us? We've always struggled with them, lol. We will use them in conjunction with the water pick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She prefers this over waterpik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
