FAQs
Are these brush heads hygienic?
The brush heads use the industry's most advanced copper-free tufting process, which effectively inhibits bacterial growth. They are also the first brush heads to get a global certification for food safety from TÜV Rheinland Germany.
What kind of bristles do the brush heads use?
The Gum Care brush head uses ultra-thin PBT bristles tapered to just 0.02mm at the tip, meaning they can reach deep into the gaps between teeth. The Super-Clean and Ultra-Whitening brush heads use premium DuPont bristles to effectively clean teeth.
Is it normal for there to be a gap between the brush head and the handle?
Yes, it is normal for there to be an approximately 1mm gap between the brush head and the handle. This is to reduce the vibrations transferring between the two.
How often should you replace the brush head?
Dentists recommend changing the brush head every three months or immediately if there's any damage or deformation to the brush head. The Wave brush heads come with 90-day reminder bristles, so you always know when it's time for a change!
Which brush head is the most suitable for sensitive teeth?
We recommend using the Gum Care brush head if you have sensitive teeth. It has ultra-thin, soft bristles that, combined with Wave's 60° oscillations, deeply clean teeth while being gentle on gums.
What's the difference between white and transparent color of toothbrush head?
Only colour difference. Both white and transparent are compatible to Laifen ABS Plastic, Aluminum Alloy and Stainless Steel toothbrush
How long does the Laifen Wave take to fully charge?
The Laifen Wave uses 5V 1A, so it can fully charge in approximately 2.5 – 3 hours.
Why does the Laifen Wave have a 60° oscillation range?
The short answer? A 60° oscillation range perfectly aligns with the dentist-recommended Bass brushing method.
The long answer is a little more scientific...The Laifen Wave’s design is the key to cleaning the gingival sulcus (where the gums meet the teeth) and interdental spaces, but an oscillation range that is too large or too small would impact the brushing experience.
To ensure that the Laifen Wave delivers the best experience possible, we consulted with dentists and conducted extensive research on over 300 oral data points.
The end result was the creation of an electric toothbrush that can truly clean the gum sulcus, remove plaque, and deeply clean teeth, all while being gentle on your gums.
The 60° oscillation range represents an all-around improvement in the brushing experience delivered by a next-generation electric toothbrush.
What does Flight Mode do?
After Flight Mode is enabled, it must be disabled before the toothbrush can be used. This avoids accidental mistouches while storing or carrying the toothbrush, thereby preventing any undesired power drain.
How much force does the button require?
The Wave’s pressure-sensitive button requires a small amount of force to activate. As the button is recessed and everyone’s fingers have a different shape, the exact amount of force may vary slightly between users, and it may take a short period to become fully accustomed to using the button.
When should the brush heads be replaced?
Over time, the brush head will begin to have wear and tear on the edges.
Typically, the brush head should be replaced when it becomes overly deformed, or after three months of use, regardless of the wear and tear on the brush head.
Does the Laifen Wave consume power while in Sleep Mode?
When the handle is in Sleep Mode, the power consumption will be severely reduced, only drawing a negligible amount of power.
The Laifen Wave also includes a BMS charging protection system, which supports charging on the go, meaning that there’s no need to wait for the battery to become extremely low before charging.
