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.

Irrigator Aquajet LD A7 and its features

An irrigator is a compact complex from the manufacturer Little Doctor that delivers a stream of water, rinse aid, medicinal liquid or other solution under pressure. The nozzle is directed to the tongue, oral mucosa, gums and teeth. Thanks to pressure regulation, cleaning is quick and injury-free.

Dentists note that in combination with traditional methods of cleaning the oral cavity (dental floss and paste), the effectiveness of care increases to 95%.

The Aquajet LD A7 container is made of plastic, so it is easy to control the liquid level in it. In total, the device has 4 attachments at once, and this allows the whole family to use only one device, without spending money on purchasing several.

Aquajet has a number of features:

• The tank can be filled with ordinary warm water or special solutions. Due to the variety of their compositions, they have a therapeutic and bactericidal effect;
• The device has a switch - with one movement of a finger, the optimal speed of liquid supply is selected, so it is convenient to use the irrigator at any age. There are 4 speed modes in total;
• The aquajet is compact, fits comfortably in the palm of your hand, and has a special compartment for attachments;
• You can clean not only your teeth, but also your cheeks, tongue, and inserts.

Aquajet LD A7 has undergone numerous tests at medical and dental institutes and experts have confirmed its safety and ease of use.

An “empty” irrigator can only be turned on upon purchase to check its functionality. Frequent such manipulations will lead to the fact that it will quickly become unusable.

Advantages and disadvantages

Using the device provides a number of advantages:

1. Protection of the oral cavity from inflammatory diseases.
2. Improving the activity of the salivary glands for the prevention of salivary stone disease.
3. Implementation of professional dental hygiene at home, which is comparable to expensive procedures in clinics.
4. Cleansing microbes from mucous membranes, braces, implants and dentures.
5. The directed jet has unique massage properties, which helps accelerate regeneration by improving blood flow.
6. Aquajet LD A7 is one of the most affordable irrigators, which for many remains an important advantage.

The irrigator is easy to use, but during operation it creates a lot of noise, this is its main drawback. Breakdowns are rare; with proper use, the risk of damage is minimal.

You should not use the irrigator too often, and especially not replace your usual oral hygiene products, since everyday procedures have an adverse effect on the gums. It is better to purchase it in trusted stores to avoid buying a fake.

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.

We bring to your attention a video review of the A7 model:

Equipment

The irrigator is supplied complete with 4 replaceable nozzles, screws for fastening and a user manual. All attachments are tinted in different colors for easy use by all family members.

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.

Equipment

► The device comes with the following configuration:

• container;
• irrigator;
• warranty card;
• cover for fastening;
• wall mounting tool;
• instructions for use.

► Nozzles are supplied with the irrigator, 4 types in total:

• standard nozzles (2 pcs.);
• a spoon attachment designed to clean the surface of the tongue;
• periodontal nozzle with medical silicone for cleaning gum pockets.

After 6 months you will need to replace the attachments with new ones.

► In addition to the standard set of attachments, there are additional ones. They are purchased separately:

• orthodontic – needed for cleaning orthodontic structures and for washing hard-to-reach areas;
• nasal – a nozzle with a special seal that reduces pressure for high-quality rinsing of the nose.
• attachments for implants;
• dental attachment for introducing medication into the gums.

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.

Indications and contraindications

There are many indications for using the Aquajet LD A7 irrigator:

• prevention of caries - the jet removes accumulated food and bacteria even from difficult-to-reach places, preventing tooth decay and destruction;
• unpleasant odor - often occurs due to insufficiently thorough cleaning of the mucous membrane, so it is important to use an irrigator for this phenomenon;
• lactation and pregnancy - the risk of periodontal diseases during this period is significantly increased. The device will prevent such manifestations;
• plaque removal - this aspect is especially important for patients with braces, bridges and other orthodontic structures. In this case, very thorough cleaning is needed over the entire surface of the oral cavity and teeth;
• installation of implants - Aquajet LD A7 from the Little Doctor company is necessary to prevent implant rejection;
• bleeding gums;
• treatment and prevention of periodontal diseases, especially periodontitis and gingivitis - acute stages of inflammatory diseases are always treated by a doctor, but in the future the irrigator allows you to avoid repeated problems;
• dental stones.

There are very few contraindications preventing use. Patients with acute periodontal disease and people who have recently undergone dental surgery will have to give them up for a certain period. It is also not recommended for children under 6 years of age.

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.

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.

Additional questions

► How much does it cost?

In addition to the device, a package with attachments is purchased (price - 150 rubles). The additional expenses don’t end there, as you need to purchase special balms and liquids.

What are the main advantages?

Experts advise using irrigators as an additional means of hygiene, that is, as an alternative to professional teeth cleaning in clinics. Using such devices, you can remove up to 70% of plaque at home.

1. Thanks to the convenient shape of the brush and the flow of the jet, brushing your teeth with an irrigator will remove food debris from hard-to-reach places. This factor is especially important if a person has braces, crowns or implants. Orthodontic constructions require thorough cleaning of the enamel surface under the elements of the system and between the teeth, where many bacteria accumulate. Unfortunately, conventional hygiene products, such as brushes and dental brushes, are not able to remove all plaque, which is why dentists advise using irrigators.
2. In addition to strengthening the enamel, Aquajet LD-A7 has a positive effect on the condition of the gums by massaging them. Stimulation of soft tissues is not only an effective prevention against bleeding, but also a pleasant tactile process.
3. Carrying out daily hygiene procedures is extremely necessary not only for people with braces, but also for everyone else. Poor sanitation of the oral cavity negatively affects the structure of the teeth, provoking the development of inflammatory processes. Doctors recommend using irrigators after brushing with a regular brush as an additional procedure to reduce the risk of gingivitis and periodontitis. According to statistics, more than half of the subjects who used the irrigator during the study noted positive results after two weeks.
4. Among the positive effects that occur during the use of Aquajet irrigators, one can note an improvement in the functions of the salivary glands.
5. It is known that the best way to keep enamel in good condition is good hygiene. An irrigator allows you to remove tartar at home. Depending on your needs, you can use special therapeutic, prophylactic or whitening liquids, which will increase the effectiveness of cleaning with the help of an irrigator.
6. In addition to its therapeutic functions, using an irrigator will freshen your breath, which is very important after eating.

Speaking about the advantages of using an irrigator, the negative aspects should also be noted. The only drawback during the operation of the Aquajet device is the loudness of operation, which is typical for such devices. Also, the use of an irrigator is not recommended after dental surgery and during the acute stage of inflammatory processes.

Aquajet LD-A7 compares favorably with similar models due to its excellent functional characteristics and workmanship. With this device you can achieve excellent results at home, comparable to professional teeth cleaning in dental centers.

A few minutes a week, and after 14 days you can notice the first results. In conclusion, we suggest you watch the video, which discusses the main characteristics of this device.
