Anyone who has ever wielded a toothbrush knows that, try as hard as you may, it can be challenging to clean all those hard-to-reach areas — like along the gum line and the backs of teeth. This is especially the case for those who may have limited dexterity or sensory difficulties that make regular brushing unpleasant.But this strange-looking Swiss-designed manual toothbrush has garnered many fans for giving them a “life-changing” clean, and with much less effort than traditional toothbrushes. The Edel+White CleanCurl 3D toothbrush has a regular brush head at its center that’s flanked on either side by two layers of longer bristles that curve inwards to create a bridge shape. These bristles hug the teeth and brush perfectly along the gum line, as well as the no man’s land that is the backs of teeth, all at once for a true three-dimensional clean. This means you can spend less time brushing, while still getting a thorough cleaning.As some reviewers also pointed out, even electric toothbrushes have their limitations because, despite their vibrating bristles, you still need to rotate the brush around the teeth to reach the entire surface, which can be difficult and inconvenient for many people. “They clean better than any electric toothbrush I’ve ever used,” one Amazon customer claimed. “The heads are a little smaller so you can reach more areas.”Additionally, for individuals with diminished grip strength or who are averse to the feel of a vibrating toothbrush in their hand, the CleanCurl proves to be a more comfortable alternative thanks to its ergonomic and easy-grip handle.The CleanCurl uses soft bristles that absorb impact and reduce the chances of brushing too hard. Though it may seem counterintuitive, dentists previously told us that soft-bristled toothbrushes, when used twice a day, can be just as effective as a power-operated option, without causing excessive damage to the teeth and gums. “Now no more bloody gums because he can brush softer and get the cleaning he needs,” one reviewer said of their son who has braces and was finding himself brushing too hard to get rid of plaque buildup on his teeth. Available in packs of one, three or five, these innovative toothbrushes can be useful to more than just those with specialized needs, but to anyone who wants an easier, more effective clean.

The regular brush I found I was gripping way too hard and overdid it on the gums. The sonicare buzzing handle was like holding live electricity up my arm. Gave this a try as a what the heck. Okay it looks very strange. But the handle shape is fantastic to hold. The black side bristles are easier to feel against the gumline. And it still leaves that slippery clean feeling when done. After two days and deciding I might love a toothbrush, I came back for a 3 pack. Thank you for helping a lady with sensory neuropathy! Worth a try if you have gum issues as well…this little brush gets right in there and actually feels good.“ — Amazon customer“Bought this for my son because he has a hard time brushing with braces and leaves a lot of plaque. This toothbrush has been awesome for him. His teeth are visible cleaner and he says he it is easier for him to use and not brush hard like he was doing before. Now no more bloody gums because he can brush softer and get the cleaning he need!! I would definitely recommend for people with braces!!” — Lacey“An excellent, excellent brush! My dentist was finally satisfied after years of visits and degrading oral health. This makes keeping the gumline cleaning automatic. Highly recommend - even though it looks funny! It seems to clean faster and more efficiently, as well, for those who don’t want to keep a brush in their mouth too long. The handle is easy to handle as well.” — R E“I didn’t even know toothbrushes like this existed but I am so glad I found them! I’ve been losing grip in my hands so the fact that this came with a handle that I could actually put my hand in, really helped. I wad also surprised to find that the bristles are curled which allows you to get both sides of the tooth at the same time. With the curl, I don’t have to brush as long which allows me to stay more comfortable. It cleans my teeth well and is the perfect fit. If you have grip or weakness issues, I highly recommend this.” — Kindle customer“The brushing end of this soft brush, curl inwards at the ends, making the edel+white CleanCurl 3D Toothbrush the BEST to use even before you clean teeth tour with a manual or electric toothbrush. The curly ends cleverly dislodge food bits stuck between teeth or food stuck between teeth & gums in the dark recesses of your mouth. If you use this edel+white CleanCurl 3D toothbrush even AFTER you use your manual/electric brush, you’ll be shocked how much food bits your standard brush has left behind.As a daily user, I believe that many folks will benefit by using this innovative brush.” — Quincy Girl“This is the last toothbrush you’ll ever buy. I would like to buy a whole pallet of these toothbrushes so that I never run out. They clean better than any electric toothbrush I’ve ever used. They’re soft but firm bristles. They get behind the front of your teeth and that was my biggest issue with all other toothbrushes. The heads are a little smaller so you can reach more areas. It’s like an automated car wash for your mouth. I have been telling everyone I know about them. They’re life changing. Will be placing more orders in the future.” — Joshua TewIf you want to shop for more ergonomic products that make taking care of your oral health easier, take a look at these from previous HuffPost coverage:AmazonA hybrid water flosser and electric toothbrush that "completely changed" a HuffPost contributor's oral care routineContributor Shawna Hudson was disillusioned by bulky countertop water flossers that aren't travel-friendly, and the Soocas Neos II Ultra presented a great solution, she shared in a review. "The thoughtful design of this handy two-in-one device is sleek and slimmer than a traditional water flosser," she wrote. "And while it’s still heavier and slightly bigger than your average electric toothbrush, it’s not so big to where it’s unmanageable."Equipped with two modes, the device is both an electric toothbrush and a water flosser, which Hudson called "top-tier." top-tier. "It basically feels like a power washer for your teeth. The water tank on the back of the brush is super easy to fill and doesn’t run out while you’re brushing either," she said. The brush comes with two brush heads, a travel case and a charging cable (one charge lasts up to 30 days). "I’m totally in love with how easy to use this device is and how expertly it cleans my teeth. As a frequent traveler who likes to consolidate as much as possible, this is also going to be game-changing for me moving forward," Hudson wrote. You can get it in two colors.AmazonA 3-in-1 reusable electric flosser with 12,000 vibrations per minuteIf you want the ease of a floss pick without the volume of disposable waste, as well as an easier handle, an electric flosser might be for you. This battery-powered offering from Slate was invented by a dentist and uses 12,000 vibrations per minute to effectively floss between your teeth. The floss heads, which are reusable for up to a week, also act as tongue scrapers and gum brushes, so you're getting your whole mouth clean. The gadget comes in two colors.AmazonA 2-pack of ultra-cheap, ultra-effective flossing toothbrushesFormer shopping writer Haley Zovickian previously wrote about her love of the Mouthwatchers flossing toothbrushes, which have super-thin bristles to help them get into tight spaces for a deeper clean."Within about a week of switching from a regular brush to this one, my previously coffee-stained teeth looked markedly whiter, my plaque was less visible and my gums looked healthier," Zovickian wrote. "My mouth also feels remarkably cleaner, a result that reviewers echo. I can’t help but feel that this model is toothbrushing the way it should be." The brushes don't go deep enough to replace flossing, as reviewers confirm, but they do help in between by dislodging debris.
