• acute inflammatory processes in the gums;
• periodontal disease;
• crowded or crooked teeth;
• tartar;
• gingivitis;
• halitosis;
• diabetes;
• plaque;
• installed braces, fillings, bridges or implants.

Important! Aquajet LD-A8 is recommended for use by children from the moment they begin to use a toothbrush on their own. Remember that the procedure can only be carried out under adult supervision.

Application

• No matter how powerful the irrigator is, it does not replace a regular, manual toothbrush, but acts in conjunction with it. Use it after brushing your teeth - this way you perform two tasks at once: clean those areas that the brush could not cope with, and thoroughly rinse off any remaining toothpaste. In addition, you can use a waterpik after meals to wash away food particles.
• If you have not used such a device before, it is recommended to set it to the lowest power setting first. The Aquajet LD A8 irrigator is equipped with an adjustment lever, next to which there is a scale with four divisions. Low power will correspond to the lower division with the number 1. When the gums get used to the effect, you can gradually increase the pressure.
• To clean your teeth, you can use either plain water or special balms for irrigators. In this case, you will provide your teeth and gums with comprehensive care: not only thorough cleaning, but also long-term freshness of the oral cavity, elimination of inflammation or delicate whitening (depending on the composition of the balms).
• Immediately after use, rinse the reservoir, if necessary, wash the irrigator with a special cleaning product and dry all removable parts. Do not leave water or balm in the reservoir - the liquid must be refilled for each cleaning. With proper care, the Aquajet LD A8 oral irrigator will serve you for a long time.
• Remember safety precautions - do not direct the water stream at the roof of your mouth, throat or tonsils. This will lead to pain and soft tissue injury.
• Some people believe that it is convenient to use an irrigator to wash the tonsils for tonsillitis. This cannot be done - you will damage the already inflamed organ. The Aquajet LD A8 oral irrigator is intended exclusively for treating teeth and gums.

How does the irrigator work?

The device performs the function of additional cleaning of the oral cavity, namely, it penetrates into the space between the teeth and comfortably cleans dentures and braces. The principle of operation is that water or a healing solution is supplied through the device under controlled pressure. This method is especially effective for dense teeth - with a regular brush we only clean the exposed parts of the enamel, and do not reach between the teeth.

Important! The irrigator will give full results only in combination with traditional methods of brushing your teeth.

Liquid can be supplied in various modes:

• continuous;
• micropulsation;
• bubbles.

The hydraulic pump pumps the liquid into the device and transfers it to the surface to be cleaned. You will not feel any painful sensations, because the pressure is minimal and can be adjusted with regulators.

Comparative characteristics of Aquajet LD-A8 and LD-A7

Models LD-A8 and LD-A7 of the Aquajet irrigator are similar in technical characteristics, but they all have slight differences.

For your information! All buttons on the new model are rubberized, making them easy to operate with wet hands.

The removable nozzles and water tank are closed with a lid.

The Aquajet LD-A7 set includes only four classic tips with markings, while the LD-A8 includes a periodontal tip with a rubber tip .

Customer Reviews

Below are some customer reviews. If you have something to say, leave your feedback in the comments below the article, it will be useful to our readers.

The irrigator fully justifies its purpose. It efficiently cleans out food residues and eliminates unpleasant odors. It is easy to care for, just rinse with water and dry well. I’ve been using the device for about a year, so far there have been no breakdowns, but I still identified several shortcomings: 1 - the design is very bulky, it’s inconvenient to hang, 2 - the stream seemed thick to me and the water runs out quickly, 3 - there is no valve for water.

This irrigator has become one of the most pleasant gifts for me. Before this, I used a portable device, which broke down within a few months, but I’ve been using the Aquajet LD-A8 for three years now. A convenient thing that cleans teeth and areas between them very well, gently massages gums and freshens breath. In addition, the device is designed for four people, which allows all members of our family to use it.

I regret that I did not purchase Aquajet earlier. It turned out that the difference between regular brushing with a toothbrush and an irrigator is colossal. The water pressure is not too strong, however, my teeth are now in perfect condition and the problem of bleeding gums has disappeared. The kit comes with many replaceable attachments, so we use the irrigator together with our children (they have braces). I am pleased with the purchase and recommend this device to every family.

Before the Aquajet LD-A8, I used the LD-A7 model. The new device is much quieter, has a comfortable handle that does not slip out when your hands are wet. The container is made of plastic material, it is easy to monitor the water level. I clean at second speed, which is quite enough for me. Disadvantages: bulky design, the device must be used only with filtered water, the liquid in the reservoir is not always enough for complete cleaning.
