The Laifen Wave system offers distinct choices, and the two most popular are the Gum Care (CS) and Super-Clean (GS) toothbrush heads . While they fit on the same handle, they offer completely different brushing experiences. The Gum Care head is defined by its softness and tapered bristles, making it the gentle giant of the lineup. It is designed to soothe and clean without provoking reaction in sensitive teeth.
On the other side of the spectrum is the Super-Clean head. This is the choice for the efficiency seeker. It is designed to scour the teeth clean, removing that "fuzzy" feeling of plaque instantly. It uses a C-shaped profile to wrap around the tooth, ensuring no surface is left untouched. Choosing between them depends on your oral health priorities: sensitivity relief or maximum cleanliness.
Deep Dive into Gum Care (CS)
The Gum Care head is the recommended starting point for new Laifen users. The 60-degree oscillation of the Wave toothbrush is powerful, and the soft bristles of the CS head mitigate that intensity. The 0.02mm tapered tips are capable of sliding under the gum line to remove hidden bacteria. This sub-gingival cleaning is crucial for preventing periodontal disease.Softness Without Compromise
Many people assume "soft" means "ineffective," but the CS head proves otherwise. The density of the bristles ensures that there is enough surface area to remove plaque. The softness simply allows the bristles to contour better to the irregularities of the mouth. It cleans thoroughly without the abrasion that can lead to gum recession over time.The Flat Profile
The CS head utilizes a flat profile which is versatile. It allows for easy control when angling the brush at 45 degrees towards the gum line. This straightforward design makes it easy to master the proper brushing technique. It is a no-nonsense tool that prioritizes safety and comfort above all else.Deep Dive into Super-Clean (GS)
The Super-Clean head is for the user who wants that "polished" feeling. The bristles are firmer and cut to a specific C-shape contour. This shape naturally guides the electric toothbrush heads into the correct position on the tooth. It reduces the user error involved in brushing, ensuring that the gum line and tooth surface are engaged simultaneously.Plaque Busting Power
For those prone to calculus buildup, the GS head is superior. The stiffer Nylon bristles have the structural integrity to chip away at starting calcification. They provide a satisfying scrub that leaves teeth feeling glass-smooth. It is particularly effective for cleaning the chewing surfaces of molars, where deep grooves often trap food.Recommended Usage
Laifen often suggests using the GS head for your morning brush to clear away morning breath and plaque, and the CS head for the evening to gently massage tired gums. This dual approach can maximize the benefits of both designs. Alternatively, you can switch based on your current sensitivity levels.Comparison at a Glance
