Why I Created the Angled Toothbrush: A Personal Journey to Better Oral Care

By Aline Peixe Nebot

As someone who has always taken oral health seriously, I used to think I was doing everything right. Brushing three times a day? Check. Flossing? Of course. Regular dental checkups? Absolutely. Yet, despite my best efforts, I kept running into the same frustrating problems: cavities, bleeding gums, and those dreaded deep cleanings at the dentist's office.

What baffled me most was that these issues always seemed to pop up in the same spots—at the back of my mouth and along the inner surfaces of my teeth. My dentist told me it was because those areas are notoriously hard to reach, even for people with great oral hygiene routines.

But I couldn’t accept that. How could something as basic as cleaning your teeth have a blind spot? Surely, there had to be a better solution.

The Eureka Moment

One day, out of sheer frustration, I started experimenting with my toothbrush. I bent the handle to a 45-degree angle, thinking it might help me reach those tricky areas better. And to my surprise, it worked!

Suddenly, I could feel the bristles making contact with surfaces that had previously been out of reach. After a few weeks of brushing this way, I noticed my gums had stopped bleeding, and my next dental visit confirmed it: no new cavities.

It was a small change, but it had a massive impact. And that’s when it hit me—if this simple tweak could help me, it could help so many others struggling with the same problem.

The Birth of Curvy Oral Care

That’s how Curvy Oral Care and the angled toothbrush were born. I wanted to create a tool that anyone could use to improve their oral health without having to wrestle with their toothbrush or settle for incomplete cleaning.

The angled design is specifically engineered to reach every corner of your mouth, especially those back molars and interior surfaces that regular toothbrushes often miss. It’s all about making it easier for people to take care of their teeth and prevent issues like periodontal disease, which has far-reaching impacts on overall health.

Why This Matters

For me, this isn’t just about selling toothbrushes—it’s about empowering people to take control of their health. I know firsthand how frustrating it can be to feel like you’re doing everything right and still coming up short. That’s why our mission at Curvy Oral Care is to raise awareness about the connection between oral health and overall wellness.

Creating the angled toothbrush was my way of solving a problem I refused to accept. I hope it can do the same for you—and help you discover how transformative good oral care can be.
