Clean where string floss can’t with The Waterpik Ultra Water Flosser WP 100. Featuring six specialized tips, the Ultra Water Flosser gives you a deep-yet-gentle clean in the comfort of your home. The WP 100 effectively removes plaque and debris–even around orthodontic braces and dental implants–safely cleaning below the gumline and improving gum health.
More Effective and Comfortable Than Floss
Finally, there is an easier, more effective alternative to string floss: the Waterpik Ultra Water Flosser WP 100. The WP 100 is ideal for those who don’t like to floss, as well as for anyone with braces, implants, crowns, bridges or periodontal pockets. Water flossing for about a minute a day comfortably removes up to 99.9% of plaque from treated areas and gently massages the gums to improve overall oral health. The WP 100 is clinically proven to be up to twice as effective as string floss at improving gum health, and three times as effective as string floss for cleaning plaque and debris around braces.
Six Unique Tips Personalize Your Cleaning
Offering six unique, color-coded tips, the WP 100 thoroughly cleans your whole mouth. Choose from the Plaque Seeker Tip, Classic Jet Tip, Tongue Cleaner, Orthodontic Tip, Pik Pocket Tip, and Toothbrush Tip.
The Plaque Seeker Tip removes plaque in hard-to-reach areas around implants, crowns, bridges and other dental work. For healthier gums, the Classic Jet Tip does the job, while the Tongue Cleaner removes bacteria from your tongue to help freshen breath.
Those who wear braces will appreciate the Orthodontic Tip–it’s three times as effective as floss when it comes to removing plaque around braces. The Pik Pocket Tip gently delivers medicaments and rinses deep below the gumline. And last but not least, the Toothbrush Tip delivers the convenience of brushing and water flossing at the same time.
10 Water Pressure Settings for Healthier Gums
Whether you prefer gentle water pressure or deep cleansing, the WP 100′s 10 adjustable water-pressure settings give you optimal control. Select a personalized setting between 10 to 90 PSI with 1,200 pulses per minute to keep your gums healthy. The WP 100 cleans deep between teeth and below the gumline, while massaging and stimulating the gums. Clinical studies show that when used regularly, the WP 100 gives you healthier gums in 14 days.
Improved Design is Quieter and Ergonomic
The WP 100′s improved design features a high-volume, covered reservoir with an in-lid tip storage compartment. It is also smaller and quieter than previous models. And its ergonomic handle design is comfortable to hold and offers a convenient pause button.
The Waterpik Ultra Water Flosser WP 100 is backed by a three-year warranty.

Here’s what some of our reviewers have said:
Pros
-The orthodontic tip seems that it will work great for braces.
-The standard jet tips work quite excellently and will surprise you with how much junk is left behind by regular brushing and flossing.
-This “Ultra” model is powerful (100 watts) and does the job of power-washing your teeth and gums quite well. The design is stylish, has a relatively small footprint, a lid that houses the attachments and which also keeps the water reservoir covered.
-The orthodontic tip is excellent for getting a REAL clean. Even if you dont have braces, BUY THIS. This would make an excellent flosser for anyone who just cant seem to be able to get into the habit of flossing.
-The water flowing through the brush is great. folks really seem to like like the deplaqueing attachment.

Cons
-You can clean your tongue much better with a standard tooth brush (although a coated tongue generally indicates the need for a dietary change, like more fruit, salad and less gunky foods).
-The pik pocket (narrow tip) does not work as good as it should. Rather than increasing the water pressure the narrower tip actually slows it down. It may be convenient in some tight spots. It is good to have but seems to be of rather limited use compared with the standard jet tips.
-Using a Waterpik is (can be) a bit quirky, splashy and squirty. It is, never-the-less, a most excellent tool to assist in promoting excellent oral hygiene and getting the bathroom all to yourself.
-Some have reported that the tank leaks. We only noticed it leaking if we put our fingers on the seal when refilling it. If we’re careful to keep our fingers away from that seal, the tank is water tight.
