Interdental picks are commonly made from nylon, plastic, wood, and in some cases 100% post‑consumer recycled plastic.
Some interdental picks and their handles are made with post‑consumer recycled plastic; certain listings specifically state the product is made from 100% post‑consumer recycled plastic.
Features that improve access include tapered, soft or thin bristles; a flexible, bendable wire to navigate around braces and dental work; thin profiles or pick ends; and floss‑pick designs that slide more easily into narrow gaps.
Interdental brushes have tapered brush heads with soft, flexible bristles on a bendable wire to reach narrow spaces and clean around braces. Floss picks are handled flossers with a length of floss between prongs and often include a pick or fold‑away pick on the handle for removing debris.
