Waterpik Sonic-Fusion 2.0

Brand: Waterpik Aquarius WP-660

A sonic toothbrush with a water jet running through the brush head, so brushing and flossing happen in one pass. Three modes cover brush only, floss only and both together, with ten pressure settings on the base. Version 2.0 roughly doubles bristle tip speed against the original and ships with full size and compact flossing brush heads plus a travel case. List price hovers near 200 dollars, with 160 dollars seen at warehouse clubs.

For brace wearers who skip flossing out of sheer tedium, the combined stroke is the selling point: water reaches under wires while bristles work the bracket faces. Downsides are money and consumables, since flossing brush heads cost more than ordinary ones and there is no separate orthodontic tip. Anyone who prefers aiming a thin jet at each bracket individually will be better served by a classic flosser.
