Oral BreezeShowerBreeze | Flosser for Teeth, Gums, Braces | Water Jet Dental Irrigator | Treats Gum Disease Naturally | Easy Shower Installation | 15 Seconds Daily for Preventative Care

I don't normally write reviews but I was really impressed and happy with this purchase (so far).I wanted a water flosser and did a mild amount of research. Every site is pushing the Waterpik and related products. I think I found this one on reddit and several features just make sense. No motors, no pumps, no battery to break. From an engineering standpoint this is such a simple product you can probably repair this forever.No reservoir is nice since you never run out of water. In the shower it's great since you can use with reckless abandon 1,2,3, 5 mins etc. The connection to the water line is also great since you have huge pressure. I'm actually worried that I might badly injure myself if I hit myself in the eye at full pressure. I have never used a waterpik but I was originally concerned about how strong the pressure is. No concerns here.In fact a side benefit I have found is that at full pressure it works as a tiny pressure washer for your shower. I was even able to clean off soap scum and lightly clean the grout.Downsides: not very attractive, possibly a bit dangerous at full pressure.Feature Request: different tips with different spray patterns. Maybe a wider spray pattern. A better looking hose.

I believe the product is great when it's working correctly. I haven't really noticed any issues as other have had with reduced shower pressure. Obviously it will reduce when using the pik but otherwise no issues.Unfortunately my problem is the hose keeps coming off the the pik. It's not held on very strongly, just pushed over a feathered coupling. With the water pressure low it will stay on, but that seems to do nothing for my teeth. When it's high enough to effectively work, it keeps blowing the hose off.I've spent the last 30 min relentlessly trying to find a way to contact the seller and have them possibly offer a fix for this, but there's literally no links on both my order history or sellers page I can find to contact them, so no luck there. I would easily rate this 5 starts if I was able to contact the seller and they were able to offer me a fix.--[EDIT/UPDATE]--Shortly after my writing my review and also contacting the company about the hose issue mentioned above, I received an email reply saying they're shipping me a new product. I actually didn't request a replacement thinking I'd have the same issue, but they sent one none-the-less. A few days later I then received a call from the owner himself wanting to know how the replacement was working out. I was thoroughly impressed with this and we had a great conversation.After reading my review and support call he knew exactly what the issue was and said that it was corrected with the new product shipped to me. I told him that I'd found an inexpensive fix already though by using a small 5/32" hose clamp which seemed to fix the problem. I told him that I was satisfied with the fix and would actually send him back the unopened replacement. To my surprise, he wouldn't have it; He said no customer of his was going to use his product with a workaround hose clamp fix! But he also wanted me to test the new product to see that the error was corrected, which I agreed with him.I've had the new unit installed for several days now and to my surprise it seems to be working just fine. So as promised in my initial review, they get 5 stars :) Great product and exceptional customer support. I was thoroughly impressed! Thanks Tom!--[1 Year Later]--Before I begin, let me give a brief back story. About 5 years ago my dentist advised me to have a scaling and root plaining procedure done due to concerns of early periodontal disease (I was ~30 at the time). This is where they take a mini-ruler-type device and measure how far down it can go between your teeth and gums. At the time, most of my teeth had less than good measurements, with ~3 being high concern, so I took his advice and paid for the ~$350 procedure.About 2 years later I switched dentists, and he also noted concerns about my gums. I told him I had the procedure done a few years ago; however, he was convinced it either didn't work, the previous dentist didn't do it correctly, or I was just mistaken about what procedure I had. I have a history of sticking money into dental work that's went bad, so I wasn't interested in paying for the procedure again and declined his advice.I bought the ShowerBreeze in Dec, 2011 as a X-mas gift for my wife and I, but mostly in preparation for braces I was having installed Jan, 2012. I had a few initial issues with the product (detailed above), but received a replacement product and have not had any issues since.Fast forward 1 year: I've used the ShowerBreesze [almost] every day since and had my 6 mo. checkup about a month ago. Both the dentist and dental hygienist were simply blown away at how amazing my teeth and gums were, even more so given I have braces (apparently people with braces are highly problematic). They literally told me I had the cleanest teeth & braces they'd seen in years! The BEST part though, is ALL signs of periodontal disease were gone!!! Not only gone, but my gums actually grew back to above normal standards.I'll admit I have become obsessive with cleaning my teeth since I had braces put in, but brushing and flossing alone will not prevent or cure periodontal disease. Otherwise, the only change in my cleaning habit was using the ShowerBreeze. I've never used other water pick type cleaners before, and I'm sure other products can and do produce similar results, but I will attest that the ShowerBreeze does for sure. $30 and a year of use was more successful than all my professional periodontal work!I actually look forward to using this every day! The level/feeling of clean my teeth get from this is something you just have to try for yourself. When my wife first opened this on X-mas, she gave me kind of a look that said she'll never use it. A few weeks later she told me she tried it out, but it tickled her mouth/tongue too much and quit using it. I don't know if this is common, but it did this to me too at first. However, if you use it daily, it goes away after about 2 weeks (believe me, it's worth sticking it out!). Once that was over though, she said she too can't believe how much cleaner her mouth feels.The only drawback so far is that the only time I can really use it is in the shower. I know they make sink versions of this, but when using in the shower there's a lot of spray! A lot! Using something like this over the bathroom sink would cause almost the entire mirror and counter to become soaked in water. There's also likely to be far less pressure from a sink version too. When using the ShowerBreeze, I have the shower turned full on and the bypass valve at about 90%, so the water pressure is pretty intense. Though it works well for cleaning out all the small bits and pieces of crud that get stuck in my braces.tl;dr - Pretty sure ShowerBreeze cured my periodontal disease issues and recently gave me the best dental exam ever!

Many many years ago, I tried a battery operated "flossing" device. It was a few vibrating tough plastic wire massaging near the gaps between my teeth. I never looked back at those things again.Recently I realized that I need to do more flossing. I looked at Amazon reviews and concluded that oral irrigation works. I like to buy things that make sense, this is one of those. There will be no mess in the shower, the pressure should be more than enough, and there's an unlimited supply of water.My shower head is about a year old, plastic with hose. So the installation is super easy. I just twist off the old shower head, wound 3 rounds of tape, and screw in the device. No tools are needed. The stick on (screw optional) tip holder can also allow you to hang sections of long tubing when not in use. If you forget to turn off the ShowerBreeze valve before turning off the water supply, the tip holder can still hold the tip in place when you turn the supply back on. Otherwise the tip will fly around. Someone recommended 6' of tubing. This is good as you can clean grout at the other end of the bathtub.ShowerBreeze is a piece of chrome that is well made. The valve handle adjusts the pressure from normal shower, to no shower, to both. There is enough pressure to do both at the same time.My shower head is relative new that should meet CA standards. So I do not notice any drop in pressure when I plumbed in the device without turning it on. BTW I brought a bathroom sink faucet in the local hardware store and another online from Texas. Everybody like to use the Texas one because of higher flow. If you notice drop in pressure, you should try a CA shower head that should perform better under lower flow.My ShowerBreeze tip shoot a simple jet stream continuously. If the pressure is strong enough for your teeth, its too much for your tongue. That happens when you move the tip around in your mouth. I think I will use the right hand to vary the pressure while I use my left hand to clean inside the mouth. I can apply high pressure only when the tip is dead centre between teeth. Of course I need a mirror to do that.6' of tubing allows you to clean sitting down in the tub. In this case I would use my finger as a shield when the tip is not in optimum position.4 stars for lack of pressure control near the tip. I don't think it's easy or cheap. But that's a useful thing to have.
