You might need a mix for different gaps. Are there any mixed packs? I use blue ones and my gaps are fairly small and tight if it helps

You can buy a pack with mixed sizes in, so you can try a few different ones to see which is right for you

Yes, you’ll need to try the mixed pack to see which size(s) you need as gaps between teeth vary between individuals (and between teeth in one individual). I have to use the thickest one (red?) for a couple of my gaps and then a thinner one for the others. Some, I can’t get a brush in at all so just use tape.

I bought a Phillips water flosser machine. It's very easy to use.

I can't bear those little brushes and they only go through about half of my tooth gaps.

It's not as cheap as brushes initially but long term I don't suppose it's so different. Much less plastic waste too if that bothers you.

I've had mine for about 5 years. No problems

Water flosser. Mine was £20 from Amazon. Works a treat 👍
