GUM® Interdental Size Indicator
Discover our latest innovation. Our GUM® Interdental Size Indicator works seamlessly with the GUM TRAV-LER range of 10 brushes, allowing you to prescribe the ideal size for each patient's unique interdental spaces. Size Made Easy: With our new GUM Interdental Size Indicator, you can choose the right brush size in seconds – compatible with GUM TRAV-LER® interdental brushes. How It Works: Gently insert into the interdental space. Do not force. Look for the visible color at the gumline – this indicates the correct size. Match the color to the GUM TRAV-LER. The color you see is the brush size your patient needs: - For brush sizes ISO 1 to ISO 5, match the color shown on the GUM Interdental Size Indicator to the color of the GUM TRAV-LER. - If the GUM Interdental Size Indicator doesn't fit, recommend the ISO 0 size. - For larger openings (ISO 6+), place the brushes directly.
