CURAPROX CPS 08 PRIME INTERDENTAL BRUSHES (5 pcs) – for moderately wide spaces between the teeth, 0.8 mm

When should you choose Curaprox CPS 08 prime interdental brushes?

Curaprox CPS 08 prime are interdental brushes from the Swiss manufacturer Curaprox for cleaning moderately wide spaces between the teeth. The pack contains five brushes. With a passage diameter of 0.8 mm and an effective cleaning diameter of 3.2 mm, the CPS 08 is a medium size in the Curaprox CPS prime range. The CPS 08 prime is colour-coded pink.

A toothbrush cleans only the outer, inner and chewing surfaces of the teeth – it cannot reach the spaces between them, where plaque collects most easily. Interdental brushes are designed precisely for these spaces. CPS prime brushes are built around a thin but strong surgical wire and ultra-fine, extra-long filaments that open up in the gap like an umbrella and fill it.

Thanks to this construction, Curaprox says that a single movement – once in and once out – is enough to clean each space. The brushes use the Curaprox click system and fit all Curaprox interdental holders, so you keep the handle and replace only the brush.

How to use

How to clean between the teeth with CPS prime brushes:

• Attach the brush to a Curaprox holder (click system).
• Gently insert the brush into the space between the teeth, close to the gum line, without force.
• Move it once in and once out – a single controlled movement per space is enough.
• Rinse the brush thoroughly after cleaning and let it dry.
• Clean once a day; it can be done before or after brushing, as long as it is done daily.

Who is it for?

The CPS 08 prime is intended for adults whose interdental spaces match this size – moderately wide gaps. Interdental spaces often differ within one mouth, so many people need two or more sizes. Ideally, your dentist or dental hygienist should determine the right size for each space.

Important notes

• Never force the brush into a space – if it does not go in with gentle pressure, choose a smaller size.
• Check the brush for visible damage before use and replace it when the wire is bent or the filaments are worn.
• Slight bleeding in the first days of cleaning may occur when the gums are inflamed; if bleeding persists, consult your dentist.
• Whether a holder is included depends on the pack version – the brushes fit any Curaprox holder.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

1. How do I know whether the CPS 08 is the right size for me?

The brush should slide into the space with gentle resistance and fill it. If you have to push, it is too large; if it passes through with no contact, it is too small. Your dentist or dental hygienist can measure your interdental spaces and recommend sizes.

2. Do I need a holder?

CPS prime brushes use the Curaprox click system and fit all Curaprox interdental holders. If your pack does not contain a holder, you can keep using a holder you already have.

3. How often should I clean between my teeth?

Curaprox recommends interdental cleaning once a day, with one in-and-out movement per space.

4. How long does one brush last?

Thanks to the strong surgical wire, the manufacturer cites a long service life. Replace the brush as soon as the wire is bent or the filaments are worn.
