I was intrigued to hear that there is a good reason why you should warm up your toothbrush. Initially, I was confused by his reasoning but now I’m convinced. Hold your lighter up against the plastic part of your toothbrush.
The device heats the plastic to bend it.
Let me first tell you what you should pay attention to. Plastic is the only material that can be used for toothbrushes. The material must be flexible and not burn. Many toothbrushes today are made of wood. This method does not work with wooden toothbrushes.
Have you got your toothbrush? Now we can begin. Keep the fire at a safe distance away from the brush so it can heat up, but not burn.
When you can see bubbles forming, move on to the next step.
Allow the brush to cool for a couple of minutes. It is important to avoid burning your hands as they will become irritated. The plastic will also re-harden with a slight cooling. You can bend your toothbrush more easily if you do it at an acute angle.
Twist your brush. The heated portion should be in the middle of the brush. Apply equal pressure on the brush to form a perfect 90 degree angle.
Why do we do this? Next page I will explain!
