A member asked:
Would proxabrush space my teeth if i put it tight between the teeth and gumline?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Proxibrush will not push teeth apart. If gums are inflamed and you clean them they may shrink, making it appear that there is space between teeth. Take the proxibrush to your dentist for instructions on proper use. For many people proxibrush can be very effective.
