The Soladey 5 Ionic Solar Toothbrush is a state of the art manual toothbrush designed for thorough but gentle brushing. It converts light energy in to the ionic micro-charge which spreads over the teeth and mouth surfaces. The micro-charge breaks the bonds between bacteria and plaque and the tooth surface, allowing the teeth to be brushed clean. By using the electrical charge rather than mechanical force, this toothbrush can clean the teeth while protecting delicate enamel and gum tissue.

The Body of the Toothbrush

The Soladey 5 is latest ionic toothbrush model from Soladey. While the function is similar to earlier models, it differs in its sleek contemporary design, larger solar panel and colour range. The Soladey 5 is available in white, blue, pink or black. 

The Head of the Toothbrush (Bristles)

The Soladey 5 comes with the latest model of 'Charcoal Honeycomb' toothbrush heads. These brush heads are constructed of specially designed medium textured bristles which contain charcoal and silver ions.

Each bristle has a honeycomb cross-section (normal bristles have a rounded section). The angled honeycomb shape of each bristle aids plaque removal.

Once the bristles are mounted on the brush head, they are cut to produce a ridge of bristles which are great for reaching the notches in between the molars giving better contact. 

General Features

• No need for batteries and charging units, the solar panel powers the toothbrush during use.
• Enables thorough cleaning of the teeth and gum line with gentle pressure, reducing mechanical erosion of dental enamel and damage to the gum line, which can result in gum recession. 
• Durable construction.
• Replaceable heads available, with different sizes and textures.
• Reduces the pH of the mouth, reducing acid erosion
• The ions remain in the mouth for a while after brushing, reducing the build up of plaque.

How the Soladey 5 Toothbrush Works

Light enters the solar panel, situated on the end of the handle. Once the rod and bristles are wet and the toothbrush is in the mouth, a circuit is formed and ions travel up the titanium rod into the bristles of the toothbrush. The ions travel out of the bristles onto the surfaces of the teeth and mouth. 

Prior to cleaning the teeth, a biofilm of plaque coats the teeth and tartar and plaque adhere to the teeth surface. These are kept in place with strong positively charged electrical bonds. It normally takes a lot of scrubbing to break these bonds, but normal scrubbing techniques wear away the enamel and damages the gum tissue. This is exactly what we wish to avoid.

By using this ionic toothbrush, a stream of negatively charged ions, effectively release these bonds, allowing the plaque to be brushed away with a gentle action. These ions travel all around the mouth in the saliva and across damp tissues. This means that this brush can clean in places that the bristles don't actually touch - hence, cleaning along the gum line is more effective, the ions penetrate just under the gum line (where the bristles can't reach) and flossing becomes easier. 

How to Use the Soladey 5

The Soladey 5 toothbrush is ready to use out of the box. Just slide the toothbrush head onto the titanium rod, wet the titanium rod, make sure the light in the room is on, or stand near a window, or step outside. Start brushing. Take care, to hold the brush so that light can enter the solar panel. Hold the brush at 45 degrees to the gum line.

It is not necessary to use toothpaste, but if you do, you can use less than you would with normal manual toothbrushes. 

Please get the full benefits of this ionic toothbrush by adopting a light brushing technique. In effect the brush is moving saliva with the current around the mouth, and gently removing debris which has been loosened by the stream of ions.

Remember to brush the teeth, every inch of gum line, the tongue and the palette. Augment your brushing with flossing and the use of interdental brushes if advised by your dental hygienist. 

We recommend spending longer than two minutes brushing the teeth, not only giving each tooth 5 seconds of brushing, but also each section of gum line. This means that to thoroughly brush your teeth and to protect your gums, it should take 4-5 minutes. 

Optimising your oral care, not only saves your teeth, but it is one of the most anti-ageing activities we can do each day. With great oral hygiene we can reduce out chances of periodontal disease, loss of teeth, bone loss and oral cancer. Besides, poor gum health is linked to cardiovascular disease, stroke, dementia, diabetes, certain cancers, kidney disease, arthritis. 

Maintenance

Keep the titanium rode clean.
Regularly remove the toothbrush head, clean the rod and replace the head.
Replace the bristles every 3-4 months.

WARNING

Do not use if you have a pacemaker fitted. 
Always keep the bristle head on the rod unless you are cleaning the rod or replacing the heads.
