Flossing toothbrush introduced by Waterpik

May 16, 2018
The world's first flossing toothbrush, the Sonic-Fusion, has been introduced by Waterpik. The Sonic-Fusion combines Waterpik's Water Flosser and Sonic Toothbrush technologies, so patients can brush and floss at the same time.

Waterpik has introduced the world's first flossing toothbrush, Waterpik Sonic-Fusion. Designed for self-professed "flossing failures" who value gum health but can't commit to the extra step, Sonic-Fusion offers an effective, one-step oral care regimen for a complete clean.

By merging the latest Waterpik Water Flosser and Sonic Toothbrush technologies, Sonic-Fusion enables brushing and flossing at the same time. As the Sonic Toothbrush head cleans tooth surfaces, the Water Flosser jet inside the brush head targets plaque and debris between teeth and below the gumline where toothbrush bristles can't reach. This flexible device also allows for brushing and flossing separately with the touch of a button.

Waterpik Sonic-Fusion delivers all the clinically proven benefits of the Waterpik Water Flosser. (i) According to the manufacturer, the Sonic-Fusion is up to two times as effective as regular brushing and flossing and removes up to 99.9% of plaque from treated areas.

"I had the opportunity to test Sonic-Fusion with my patients, and I was truly amazed by the results that I saw," said Chris Salierno, DDS, who tested Sonic-Fusion with his patients who struggled with home care. "My patients had significantly less plaque buildup, less bleeding, and less inflammation of the gums. It appears to me that Sonic-Fusion is not only a more effective way to brush and floss, but it's also easier, so I found that my patients were actually flossing more often than they normally would."

The new Sonic-Fusion features specially engineered Waterpik Water Flosser and Sonic Toothbrush technologies, as well as the following:

  • Compact, all-in-one design that requires less counter space
  • One-handed mode control
  • Three modes (brush, floss, brush and floss)
  • Advanced water-pressure control and 10 settings for custom comfort
  • Two-minute brushing timer with 30-second pacer
  • Reservoir capacity of 60-plus seconds
  • LED recharge indicator
  • Two patented Water Flossing brush heads
  • Deluxe toothbrush case
  • Three-year limited warranty

Waterpik Sonic-Fusion has earned the American Dental Association Seal of Acceptance. The extensive review of the clinical research by the ADA Council on Scientific Affairs confirmed that it helps remove plaque along the gumline and between teeth and that it prevents and reduces gingivitis.
