Irrigator Aquajet LD A7: description, pros and cons, reviews

For a long time, the problem of cleaning teeth and dentures has bothered dentists and patients around the world.

The Aquajet irrigator solves this issue - it allows you to thoroughly clean the interdental space, preserving the health of your teeth and gums for a long time.

Unfortunately, the Russian population is little familiar with such devices, although they help to carry out professional cleaning of the oral cavity at home.

To decide whether you need to purchase an irrigator in a particular case, it is recommended to consider its features, advantages and disadvantages.

What are there

The manufacturer offers 3 models of devices:

• Aquajet LD-A8;
• Aquajet LD-A8 Kids;
• Aquajet LD-A7.

All three devices are designed for gentle cleaning of the oral cavity using a strong stream of water, which perfectly massages the gums and removes plaque.

The A8 model is more powerful and has more attachments included than the A7. And the children's version is presented in yellow and has the ability to change the power level for gentle cleaning of the child's teeth.

All three models come complete with instructions and screws for mounting to the wall - this installation of the irrigator will help save space in the bathroom. A 500 ml tank is enough for one full cleaning.

Review of the LD-A7 model

LD-A7 is considered the optimal budget irrigator model for daily home use. It is suitable for people who have braces, bridges, crowns and implants, as it perfectly cleans teeth in hard-to-reach places.

Model design features

The A7 irrigator has a convenient design that is easily attached to the wall using small screws. The entire apparatus consists of:

• water container with lid;
• device housing with a compressor for water supply;
• irrigator handles with a nozzle and water supply tubes;
• pressure regulator and power button;
• special compartment for storing attachments;
• electrical cord.

Thanks to its compact size, the device fits seamlessly into the bathroom and does not take up much space, and the compartment for attachments makes their storage hygienic and convenient.

The length of the power cord allows you to move the device as convenient as possible, and the water supply tube is twisted into a spiral, which can be easily straightened out and folded back when in use.

Characteristics

Advantages

An irrigator is an indispensable tool for high-quality oral hygiene. It can be used at any age; you just need to reduce the water pressure for children.

Pros of the A7 irrigator:

• Effective action. This model delivers a fairly strong stream of water, which perfectly removes plaque and food particles stuck in the interdental space.

  In addition, the device massages the gums, strengthening them and making them healthy, and improves the functioning of the salivary glands, regularly stimulating them.

• Affordable price. This model is considered budget in comparison with other similar devices, but is not inferior to them in the quality of teeth cleaning and ease of design.
• Ease of use. The long tube and the ability to mount to the wall make the irrigator convenient. And the rubberized feet prevent the device from slipping if it is installed on a sink or cabinet.
• Large tank volume. 500 ml is enough to fully clean the teeth of one person; a larger volume is usually not required.
• Convenient design. The device is lightweight, stylish, and comfortable to hold in the hand of both an adult and a child. And the container for storing attachments is very convenient, as it allows you to put them in one place and not confuse them with each other.
• May be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding. During this period, the woman’s body changes greatly and experiences hormonal changes, which affect the teeth.

  Therefore, it is very important to carry out regular and high-quality oral hygiene and strengthen your gums.

Flaws

Despite its usefulness, the A7 irrigator has several small disadvantages:

• Noise during operation . When turned on, the irrigator makes a characteristic buzzing sound, but considering that you have to use it no more than 2 minutes a day, this does not create much inconvenience.
• Using a toothbrush and toothpaste is still necessary. Despite the excellent removal of plaque from the tongue and from the interdental space, the irrigator cannot perfectly clean the enamel of plaque and freshen breath, so it is necessary to use a toothbrush daily.

  A high-quality electric brush is best suited for these purposes.

• When first used, gums may bleed. This problem occurs in people whose gums are weakened.

  In this case, brushing should begin at minimum power and increase it as the gums strengthen.

• Not recommended for use in acute periodontal diseases. A strong jet of water can damage already inflamed gums, so it is better to avoid using an irrigator until recovery.

  During this period, you need to brush your teeth with a soft toothbrush and medicated paste.

Nozzles

For the LD-A7 model, the manufacturer offers 2 types of attachments:

• AQUAJET LD-SA01. Standard nozzle for individual use, which comes complete with the irrigator. These attachments are also sold separately.
• AQUAJET LD-SA02. This is a special subgingival nozzle on which a flexible tip is installed. It is intended for the hygiene of hard-to-reach places in the oral cavity.

For high-quality and safe oral hygiene, each person in the family should have a separate nozzle; It is unacceptable for different people to use the same attachment.

The attachments should be washed regularly and wiped with a soft, clean, dry cloth after use.

What to look for when choosing

Before purchasing a waterpik, please read our following tips carefully:

• The handle of the device must fit securely in your hand.
• Since the device operates from an electrical network, the length of the wire must be sufficient for convenient oral care procedures.
• For frequent transportation, a compact, lightweight device is best suited.
• An irrigator with the ability to regulate pressure will thoroughly clean your teeth and gums.
• The presence of a container for attachments is an additional convenience when storing the device and its accessories.

Brief description of the LD-A8 model

This is a newer variation of the Aquajet device, which has several differences from the previous model:

• Increased power.
• The set includes a fifth attachment, periodontal.
• New compact design.
• Soft controls.

Despite a number of modifications, the device differs slightly in cost from the A7 model and also does an excellent job of cleaning the oral cavity.

The special design of the case now allows you to wash the liquid tank and the attachment compartment using a dishwasher.

The A8 model is available in two colors - white and yellow, for children.

The bright colors of the irrigator will help quickly attract the child to use the device and make brushing their teeth interesting and fun.

The fifth nozzle helps to painlessly and gently clean the teeth of young children and people with affected gums.

Advantages and disadvantages

Irrigators produced by AQUAJET are very popular due to their undeniable advantages:

• The devices are easy to use, have modern technical characteristics and have a long service life.
• To carry out the procedure for cleaning teeth and gums, you can use not only water, but also special medicinal liquids.
• Included with the device, you purchase several attachments for better oral care.
• The devices are made of high-quality and durable materials that ensure a long service life.
• Irrigators have several operating modes, which are set by a convenient regulator on the body.
• Affordable price.

Among the disadvantages of devices for the care and cleaning of the oral cavity, the following points are noted:

• It is not possible to connect the device to a water supply.
• The kit does not include attachments for cleaning the tongue, gums and braces, as well as an attachment for caring for implants and crowns.
• There is no function for rotating the nozzle around its axis.
• The manufacturer does not provide an automatic shutdown function.

How to use the LD-A7 model

The device is quite easy to use, but there are several rules that must be followed:

1. Irrigation should be carried out after brushing and toothpaste. A stream of water will wash away the remaining toothpaste and remove plaque from hard-to-reach places, as well as thoroughly clean the tongue and oral mucosa.
2. Warm water can be used as a cleaning liquid, but dentists recommend special solutions for greater effect.
3. The stream of water must be directed at an angle of 90 degrees to the surface of the teeth.
4. It is necessary to use the irrigator no more than once a day.
5. The duration of the procedure should not exceed 15 minutes.

When cleaning, you need to wrap your lips around the tip so that the liquid flows out. To do this, it is recommended to lean over the sink and then turn on the device.

Reviews

Valentina, 57 years old:

Lately, the LD A7 model has been nowhere without the Aquajet. I don’t clean my mouth that often, but I clean my dentures with it every day. Of course, there are many more positive aspects of use, but I would like to mention the disadvantages. Firstly, this is a short cord; if the outlet is far from the sink, you will have to use an extension cord, which is what I do. Secondly, the weight of the device, I have a small bathroom, so I can’t store the irrigator in it, I have to carry it, and it weighs more than 1 kg. I really hope that these shortcomings will be eliminated in the future, although they, of course, do not interfere with use.

Roman, 17 years old:

I have been using the irrigator for a short time, after installing braces. The brush was inconvenient, but the liquid washed all areas perfectly! No unpleasant sensations, and it also removed stains from coffee! On the advice of the dentist, I purchased a special solution, it has an anti-inflammatory effect. I noticed that my gums began to bleed less, but before this problem was very painful. In general, there are only advantages from using it, I am very pleased!

Inga, 26 years old:

I pay a lot of attention to the oral cavity. I communicate a lot with clients, so it is important that my breath is fresh and there is no plaque on my teeth. I am happy with the irrigator; a toothbrush cannot compare with it. Cleans perfectly, modes can be changed to clean off food residues. Before Aquajet, I didn’t even know that so much deposits accumulated in the mouth, although I monitor my hygiene very carefully. Now I use it regularly.
