Donfeel tabletop oral irrigators: comparing the most popular models

Oral irrigators are a relatively new type of household appliance that has made home oral care fundamentally more effective. Devices from the Russian company Donfeel, which produces portable and tabletop irrigators, are in demand. For a family, a desktop or stationary household appliance with a greater safety margin than portable models is suitable. Let us examine in detail how the Donfeel OR-830, OR-820M and OR-820D compact devices differ from the point of view of technical parameters and equipment.

What types of irrigators are there?

An irrigator is a device that, by creating a pulsating stream of water, cleans the teeth, gums and tongue. Such devices began to be produced relatively recently, but every year they become more and more popular. Today they are recommended to their dental patients. Irrigators help maintain healthy teeth and gums, protecting against caries, periodontal disease, plaque, tartar, gingivitis and other problems. They are also suitable for caring for orthodontic structures: braces, implants, crowns, bridges and dentures.

There are three types of irrigators:

• flow-through;
• stationary;
• portable.

The first ones do not have a liquid reservoir. They are connected by a tube directly to the tap. These are the very first models that are now rarely used. Stationary and portable are equipped with water tanks. They are multifunctional, with several operating modes. These irrigators have a power switch that allows you to regulate the pressure and pressure of the jet. Portable and stationary devices can be used by almost everyone without restrictions: children, patients with sensitive gums, as well as people who have braces installed.

Waterpik models and their advantages

We offer stationary and portable irrigators for braces, which deliver a stream of water with 1200-1450 micropulses per minute. As a result of the formation of weak hydraulic shocks, plaque and food debris are effectively removed. Microimpulses have a comfortable and safe effect, massage the gums well, stimulate blood circulation, and remove plaque even in hard-to-reach places.

Features of different types of irrigators:

• Stationary. Devices with an enlarged water tank (500-1000 ml), powered by electricity. They are equipped with various nozzles, have greater power and the ability to adjust the liquid pressure, which allows you to effectively clean bracket systems, etc. The disadvantages include an increased level of noise and vibration.
• Portable. Compact and lightweight devices powered by rechargeable batteries or rechargeable batteries. They have a reservoir with a volume of 300-450 ml, which is enough for one procedure. Disadvantages - the need to recharge once every 5-7 days.

When determining which irrigator is best to choose for braces, you need to take into account the conditions of its use. For those who frequently travel on business, it is better to buy a portable model for cleaning dental structures in any conditions.

Irrigators for braces: orthodontic attachments

The irrigator can be equipped with various attachments. Main types:

• Standard. Suitable for routine cleaning of the oral cavity. It has a curved shape and a small diameter nozzle. With its help, 1-2 teeth are washed. It does not allow you to completely clean your braces.
• Massage room. Equipped with a round head with bristles designed to massage the gums, which helps stimulate blood circulation in the gums and strengthen the tissue. Doctors advise using an irrigator with massage attachments for people who wear braces. Metal elements cause discomfort and pain due to constant displacement of teeth. A light massage of the gums can reduce pain and speed up the regeneration process.
• Periodontal. Used to clean periodontal pockets. Indicated for periodontal diseases. Also suitable for cleaning braces.
• To remove plaque. These attachments are equipped with several tufts of bristles that remove deposits from teeth through mechanical action. A pulsating jet of liquid performs additional cleaning. Plaque removal attachments can be used to maintain braces.

• Orthodontic. Designed for cleaning any orthodontic structures. It has an elongated nozzle and a curved neck with a narrow tip, which allows you to penetrate hard-to-reach places, clean locks and places where braces come into contact with your teeth.

Stationary irrigators are produced with a large number of attachments. As a rule, the kit includes 1-2 standard ones and several special ones. They can be purchased separately, you just need to make sure that they fit your specific device model. Which irrigator should I buy for braces? Let us list the main selection criteria.

In what price segment and for what audience is the device intended?

Jetpik products belong to the high price segment , but the cost of the devices justifies the money spent.
The multifunctional device allows you to reduce the frequency of visits to the dental office and avoid many diseases of the oral cavity.

The price of Jetpik irrigators is formed from objective factors and is within affordable limits, and a wide range is designed to meet the needs of each consumer.

Irrigator for braces - how to choose

When buying an orthodontic irrigator, pay attention to the following points:

• For a family, choose a stationary irrigator with a large number of attachments and a large liquid reservoir. If you often travel on business, a portable model is suitable. However, the kit may not include an attachment for braces. They will have to be purchased additionally.
• Make a choice in favor of models with several operating modes. Such irrigators allow you to change the pressure level and jet pressure.
• Make sure the device is compatible with orthodontic attachments. Even if they are not included, it should be possible to attach them.

There is a separate nozzle for each family member. Typically, manufacturers mark them with different colors so that consumers do not confuse them and use only their own. We will describe popular models and advise which irrigator for braces is best to choose.

Features of application

The characteristics and equipment of irrigators are constantly being improved. But the design and operating schemes are almost the same in all devices and consist of a small hydraulic pump equipped with pressure control, as well as a container for liquid and nozzles, which are attached to a special handle.

The method of using all devices is the same, the only difference can be in the type of irrigator.

They can be divided into three categories:

1. Stationary devices . These devices are connected to the network, attached to a surface with suction cups, or hung on the wall. Convenient for family use. A person simply plugs in the device, removes the handle from the stationary device, attaches the attachment, turns it on and uses it.
2. Portable devices are compact and suitable for those who are often on the road. The device is already ready for use; just select the attachment and turn it on.
3. Devices connected to the tap . They are simple, inexpensive, and the principle of use is similar to stationary ones.

Cleaning your mouth with an irrigator will not take you much time. The general usage pattern looks like this:

• brush your teeth with a regular toothbrush and toothpaste;
• install the nozzle and turn on the device;
• clean the oral cavity with a jet of liquid, paying attention to the interdental spaces, gum line and teeth, to achieve this, the jet tip should be directed perpendicular to the teeth (at a distance of 2-3 mm from them) and easily clasped by the lips, light holding will help the waste liquid flow out unhindered mouth

How to use a irrigator to clean braces

The procedure is carried out in front of a mirror above the sink. Fill the tank with water or a special balm and plug it into the mains if it is stationary. First you need to select a weak operating mode, and then increase the pressure and jet pressure. Direct the nozzle towards the teeth at an angle of approximately 80°, working on each tooth and hard-to-reach areas. Particular attention should be paid to locks and joints between the structure and the enamel. The procedure lasts 3-5 minutes. You can complete it with a gum massage, which is performed with another attachment.

On our website you can find a good irrigator that is suitable for caring for braces. When purchasing, make sure that the appropriate attachment is included in the package.

Personal acquaintance

We invite you to study the reviews of our visitors about the most popular models of Donfeel irrigators.

I have been using the OR-820M device for two years. Satisfied with the device. Cleans well, there are enough attachments for all family members. My husband uses it to rinse his nose, so he gets rid of the constant need to use nasal drops.

Maria, 36 years old

The circumstances were such that a year ago I had to have my teeth splinted. It is very difficult to clean such a structure well with a regular brush. Therefore, I purchased the OR 830 irrigator and I can say that in my case it is a necessary and irreplaceable thing.

Alexey, 43 years old

I was given a device for my birthday (OR-840 air). It copes well with its functions, we have been using it for more than six months now. Among the shortcomings I can highlight: the small capacity of the reservoir and the on/off button is a bit harsh for me.
