FAQs

• Who is the Balene DuoTech Sonic Toothbrush for? The Balene DuoTech Sonic Toothbrush is ideal for those who find traditional brushing challenging, including people with limited dexterity, special needs, and children who struggle with proper brushing techniques.
• How does the dual-sided head work? The rotating dual-sided head brushes the inner and outer surfaces of teeth simultaneously, ensuring a thorough clean without the need for complex brushing techniques.
• How long does the battery last? The Balene DuoTech Sonic lasts up to 30 days on a single charge, making it convenient for users who cannot charge frequently.
• Is it suitable for people with braces or implants? Yes, the Balene DuoTech Sonic Toothbrush is designed to be gentle yet effective for those with braces, implants, and other dental appliances.
• How do I use the tongue cleaner? The built-in tongue cleaner, located along the neck of the brush head, can be used by gently sliding it from the back to the front of the tongue.
• Will I feel a tingling sensation on my palate when using the brush? Yes, you may. The Balene DuoTech’s sonic technology delivers high-frequency vibrations to the bristles, which can create a tingling sensation. This is normal and usually lessens as you get used to the sensation.
• Why does the brush get “stuck” on my back molars? During the first few uses, the bristles may feel stiff and less flexible. After a few days, the bristles soften slightly, allowing smoother movement. Furthermore as you adapt to the correct Balene brushing technique, you’ll find it easier to manoeuvre the brush.
• What should I do if my gums bleed when using the brush? The 45° angle of the Balene DuoTech’s bristles is designed to reach along the gumline where plaque often builds up. If you notice some bleeding initially, it may indicate plaque buildup where your previous brush missed. The bleeding should stop after a few uses. For expert information read our Guide to Bleeding Gums.
• What are Tyflex bristles, and how are they different? Balene’s Tyflex bristles are crafted from flexible thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), allowing them to adapt to the contours of your teeth for effective, gentle cleaning. They are durable, lasting twice as long as conventional nylon bristles, and feature rounded tips to protect gums and enamel. Additionally, Tyflex bristles are hydrophobic and infused with an antibacterial agent, eliminating up to 99.9% of bacteria to ensure a more hygienic brushing experience.
• How often should I replace the brush head? Replacement frequency depends on individual use, but Tyflex bristles usually last twice as long as conventional nylon bristles and should last six months or more with regular use.
• How should I clean the brush head? After each use, simply rinse the brush head thoroughly with water to remove any toothpaste or food residue.
• Why are my bristles turning yellow? Certain toothpaste ingredients can react with Tyflex bristles, causing a slight colour change. This discoloration does not impact the performance or antibacterial properties of the brush.
• Where can I purchase the Balene DuoTech Sonic and replacement heads? Balene is available at Dis-Chem stores, selected dental practices and pharmacies or online at Dischem. Or buy directly from Ivohealth online here.
