This method effectively eliminates plaque and scale, and stimulates the gums to maintain their normal shape. The flutter method refers to brushing teeth at a 45-degree angle between the bristles and the teeth, so that part of the toothbrush bristles enter the gap between the gums and the tooth surface, and the other part extends into the gap between the teeth, making a short distance of vibrating back and forth. When brushing the occlusal surface, the bristles should be placed flat on the tooth surface for a short distance of vibrating back and forth. You can brush 2-3 teeth per area. Brush the inside and outside of the tooth. Although this method is also a horizontal brush, because it is a short-distance horizontal brush, it basically vibrates horizontally in the original position, and compared with large-scale horizontal brushing, it will not damage the neck of the tooth and is not easy to damage the gums.

Physiological brushing: This is when the tip of the bristles is in contact with the tooth surface and then gently brushed towards the gums. This method acts as a slight irritation as food passes through the gums, promoting blood circulation to the gums and helping to keep the periodontal tissues healthy.
