Collis Curve Triplefit Periodontal Toothbrush

Purpose

If an individual with FOP has a partially fused jaw, a regular toothbrush may not fit through the remaining opening between their upper and lower teeth. Periodontal toothbrushes are rounded and designed to fit in small spaces and clean the whole tooth. Periodontal toothbrushes are a great alternative to squeeze into tight openings between overbites or limited jaw space. This particular toothbrush was sent to by Samson whose mom reports it has been very useful since his jaw fused.

Tips
