I reviewed the Luna by Foreo awhile back and I really liked it. I'm actually still using it regularly. So when I had the chance to try out the Issa by Foreo, I readily accepted. The Issa is unique in that it is the world’s first electric toothbrush made completely out of silicone. Through the revolutionary combination of high-intensity pulsations with silicone bristles, it delivers complete oral care that removes plaque, prevents cavities, breaks up stains and cleans the gums in a uniquely gentle way that does not damage tooth enamel or cause gum recession.
The Facts: The Foreo Issa is unique and cool looking as far as electric toothbrushes go. It is constructed of non-porous and bacteria resistant silicone and is completely waterproof. It features an ergonomically designed handle and a 3D flexible brush head that adjusts between 8 speed pulsations to your preference. The Issa requires no charging dock and can be used about 365 times per charge. The silicone brush head only needs to be replaced once a year.
Usage: Per the instructions, the Issa should be used like a manual toothbrush with your regular toothpaste. You apply toothpaste, turn it on and adjust the intensity using the + and - buttons. You're advised to use wide, circular movements from the edges of the teeth to the gums on the inner, outer, biting and chewing surfaces, going back and forth horizontally. I'm currently a Sonicare electric toothbrush user and employ a quadrant method when brushing my teeth. My brush pulses every 30 seconds for a duration of 2 minutes and the Issa does the same thing. The sensation of the silicone bristles is definitely quite a different experience than the bristles of a traditional type toothbrush and can take a little getting used to since they just softly rub up against your teeth. The trick with the Issa is that you don't have to apply much pressure when using it because of the sonic action. The first few times I used it, I was left with a feeling like my teeth were clean yet unbrushed at the same time if that makes sense. Interestingly the instructions of the Issa directs that flossing be done after brushing which I was thought was a bit odd since my dentist has always told me to floss first. CONTINUE READING ≫
