How to Brush Correctly: A 7-Step Guide for a Wide-Head Soft Toothbrush
Better brushing isn’t just about time—it’s about angle, pressure, and how long you pause at the gumline. This guide shows a 7-step routine using a wide-head soft toothbrush with dual-layer bristles for a cleaner, more comfortable feel.
Step 1–2: divide your mouth into zones
Instead of brushing everything at once, split upper and lower teeth into left/right sections. This helps you avoid missing the back molars.
Step 3–5: angle, light pressure, and gumline pause
Aim the bristles toward the gumline with gentle pressure. Pause 1–2 seconds at the gumline so the dual-layer bristles can do their job.
Step 6–7: clean the chewing surfaces and rinse thoroughly
Use a slightly flatter angle for the chewing surfaces. Rinse the toothbrush well after brushing to keep it hygienic.
Troubleshooting: what to adjust when you still feel “sticky”
If gumline feels sticky, increase gumline contact time and refine the angle. If gums feel sore, reduce pressure and avoid aggressive horizontal strokes.
