• Stationary.
• Portable.
• Connected to a water tap.

Which one should you choose? How not to overpay and buy the best one? Our ranking of the best oral irrigators in year, based on feedback from dentists and customers.

What does an irrigator consist of?

• Hydraulic compressor - a pump supplying the necessary pressure of water. This part is absent in the irrigators connected to the tap, in this case the pressure regulates the water supply.
• Storage tank different volumes for filling with water or other solution. Not available in plumbing designs.
• Switch to adjust the jet and the operating mode.

Complete with standard and non-standard attachments. The standard ones are curved and are used for cleaning difficult access areas. Among the non-standard ones stand out:

• Orthodontics - a thin rubber tip, used to clean the space between the gum and the tooth, recommended for people with periodontal pockets.
• Orthodontic - recommended for cleaning braces, looks like a standard nozzle, differs from it by the presence of a small bristle.

What liquid can you use

Simple water or any other liquid necessary to solve a specific problem can be used: herbal infusions, elixirs, special solutions of medicines, they can be offered directly by the manufacturer of the irrigator.

Varieties of Irrigators

Differences in design

Stationary

Large design, not suitable for frequent transport by size and by connecting power to the network. Depending on the volume of the container, it can be individual or family, used by several people, for this, attachments with different color markers are included in the kit.

Portable

This is a battery operated mobile irrigator. The water tank is small, but its volume is sufficient for cleaning at once. The jet pressure is much lower than in stationary ones. Convenient for travel or when used by one person. The cost is higher, while the equipment is minimal.

From the water supply

The design is simpler than the previous ones. It is connected to a water tap, works from its pressure, because there is no liquid tank in it. The disadvantage of the design is the inability to use other liquids than water. It is difficult to regulate the water pressure and most often the complete absence of modes.

By the principle of work

Irrigators are divided into categories based on the principle of water jet supply. 80% of irrigators on the market are impulse irrigators.

Impulse

Creates water hammer with a thin stream of water, the number of impulses from 1200 per minute and more, depends on the model. Microscopic water hammer increases the efficiency of dental plaque removal. Recommended for people prone to gingivitis and periodontal disease.

Pluses of a pulse irrigator:

• The impulses do not cause discomfort.
• Carries out massage of soft tissues, improves blood flow in them.
• High efficiency in removing old and fresh plaque in the space between the teeth and the zapolar area.

Minuses:

• Requires frequent nozzle changes.

Microbubble

Most dentists call this technology the most effective. It works on the principle of saturation of the supplied water stream with air bubbles. Such a mixture well removes all food residues from the interdental space, removes plaque, and reduces the number of pathogenic bacteria in the mouth. Models with a supply of microbubbles operate in soft and standard operation, differ in the force of the supplied jet. They can be used for washing the nasopharynx and nose, treating periodontal disease, gingivitis, periodontitis.

Pros:

• Special attachments strengthen the gum tissue and stop the development of various diseases.
• Perfectly cleans gaps between teeth and gum pockets.
• Antibacterial effect due to air bubbles.

Minuses:

• Cannot be used for periodontitis.
• The price is 30% higher in comparison with the impulse one.

Monostrue

A design with a connection to the water supply, due to which a constant flow of water is ensured, the pressure supports the water supply. This is a tap adapter with a hose that goes into a handle with a nozzle. Since there is no capacity for pouring the necessary liquid, a special capsule with antibacterial liquid may be included with the device. Monostrue effectively fights the occurrence of various diseases of the teeth and gums.

Pros:

• The simplicity of the design itself and its use.
• Low cost.
• Can be used without a power supply.
• The fight against the occurrence of diseases of the gums and teeth.

Minuses:

• Low efficiency in comparison with the previous two.
• Installation on a crane before every use, not on all models.
• Demanding on the quality of tap water.
• There are no modes.
• It is difficult to regulate the pressure.
• Morally outdated.

Criterias of choice

1. Design... It’s more convenient to transport portable. The dimensions of stationary models should also be taken into account; a bulky irrigator does not always fit neatly on the shelves. Based on customer reviews, many recommend using the portable for one person, emphasizing the convenience of storage and versatility.
2. Liquid head... If you already have problems in your mouth, it is important to choose an irrigator with water pressure regulation. For bleeding gums, a weak pressure is used, for healthy gums, a jet with a normal pressure.
3. Operating modes... The most popular modes are pulsation, floss, micromassage, spray, turbo flow. The choice depends on the preferences and condition of the oral cavity at the time of selection, some diseases require a specific regimen.
4. Power... It has a direct effect on the pressure created in the tank. Portable models have a capacity from 250 to 600 kPa, stationary models from 600 to 990 kPa.
5. Ripple frequency... The number of pulses that the device delivers within a minute.Water or special fluid can be delivered in a continuous jet or pulses. If the device has the possibility of impulse supply, the manufacturer indicates its frequency. On average 1200 pulses per minute.
6. Tank volume... For stationary, the optimal indicator is from 0.6 to 1 l, for portable from 0.12 to 0.25 l.
7. Continuous work time... Depends on the capacity of the power source, given the small reservoir of portable irrigators, this criterion fades into the background. Stationary mains powered models are often equipped with a timer that turns off the irrigator after a specified period of time. You do not have to take it out of the socket all the time, use it and forget it, it is very convenient.
8. Equipment... Depends on the type. For stationary irrigators, a set of nozzles can reach 10, for portable irrigators from 1 to 4 nozzles.
9. Guarantee... Availability of warranty service by the manufacturer in your area.

When choosing the best models for our rating, we were guided by the rule: maximum performance, equipment and quality, at a minimum price. For your convenience, the rating is broken down by type of irrigator.
