The short wire brushes are narrow enough to fit into the space between one's teeth, and they're gentle enough to clean away plaque and dislodge food without causing any discomfort. The TePe Interdental Brushes come in several different sizes and models, making them suitable for anyone's teeth. The Original brush is a short, straight brush with a thumb-and-forefinger grip. The Extra soft brush has the same shape as the Original, but with softer bristles for extremely [sensitive gums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oral-b-io2). Finally, the Angle brush comes on the end of a [toothbrush handle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultim8-smartbrush-system) in order to reach molars. Each of these brushes has its own unique color to allow for easy organization. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Interdental Cleaning Tools:** Opportunity to develop innovative and versatile interdental cleaning tools that provide an alternative to traditional flossing. - **Gentle Dental Cleaning:** Opportunity to create gentle and effective dental cleaning products that remove plaque and dislodge food without causing discomfort. - **Customized Oral Care:** Opportunity to develop customizable oral care products that cater to individual dental needs and preferences. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Dental Hygiene Products:** Opportunity for dental hygiene product manufacturers to create innovative interdental brushes and other oral care tools. - **Healthcare Technology:** Opportunity for healthcare technology companies to develop advanced dental cleaning devices. - **Consumer Goods:** Opportunity for consumer goods companies to create customized oral care products for a personalized dental routine. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tooth Gap Cleaning Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ordo-denta-reach.md) - [Sensitivity-Focused Toothbrush Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brevi-toothbrush.md) - [Compact Pen-Like Teeth Flossers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/morph-floss-pen.md) - [Expanding Dental Flosses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/expanding-dental-floss.md) - [Flossing Electric Toothbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sensonic-electronic-toothbrush.md) - [2-in-1 Flossing Toothbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soocas-neos-ii.md) - [Performance-Driven Toothbrush Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toothbrush-design1.md) - [Flossing Electric Toothbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soocas-neos.md) - [Reduced Pressure Water Flossers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oclean-airpump-a10.md)
