I use the $20 Braun toothbrush and it works better for me, because of
the way my mouth is shaped.
Incidentally, when I was younger, I smoked and didn't keep up on my
cleanings. I lost 3 big chompers due to gingivitis and periodontal
disease. I had periodontal surgury a few years ago, and I had implants
(permanent teeth) to replace the lost molars. Last year the first one
went in, and my clarinet embochure improved remarkably. This year the
implants are in the other side, and the crowns go on in a couple of
weeks. I'll let you know if my embochure is stronger. I have found it
very difficult to have good embochure muscles where the molars are gone.
Since I am such an airhead, I keep floss and toothbrushes all over
the place, in the car, in my clarinet studio, in my clarinet case. I
don't ever want to lose anymore teeth. ANNIE
