Tiger Kasei's dental care brushes are created with the emphasis placed squarely on usability.
(1) The surfaces of our toothbrush heads feature a two-step structure that allows the bristles planted on the higher step to reach the back teeth more easily, as well as incorporating stronger resistance to improve the overall effectiveness of brushing.
(2) Because the bristles are tapered to a point, they are more effective in removing food particles that become stuck in periodontal pockets and in preventing the build up of plaque.
(3) The handles of our toothbrushes incorporate a universal design that simplifies the holding and use the brush. The handles are a little thicker than those of conventional toothbrushes, consisting of a trapezoid section that makes them easy to use when held lightly. Another company's products employing a handle design supplied by Tiger were awarded a 2005 Good Design Award, bringing the concept we originated recognition within the industrial world.
(4) A mineral that generates ions is mixed into the brush material based on an idea by Toshio Ogawa, Ph.D.
Tiger Kasei has built up more than 80 years of experience in the brush making business. While placing a strong emphasis on traditional production techniques, our approach to brush manufacturing involves seeking out and adopting new materials and technologies from many other fields in order to ensure that our products provide total customer satisfaction. By giving free reign to our ingenuity, we produce brushes for a wide variety of applications ranging from beauty and health use to cleaning and industrial use.
