what does masticating mean?

Hi, masticating means that the machine does not destroy de fruit for taking the juice out of it, it has an auger in the middle that really squeezes the fruit parts against a grid chamber that filters the juice and separates it from the pulp. And this "squeezing" is made slowly (80 rpm) in order to let the juice flow once it is extracted and not pulverized in a centrifugal way as other machines do. If you do this too quickly and to energic, the juice gets oxidize, making it less tasty and less durable in time. It is really a remarkable machine in my opinion and you will tell the juices taste way better than others.

Compression of fruits and vegetables in order to obtain the juice. gmahn explained it very good.

-+It means it grinds the juice out of the fruit (with an auger) instead of using high speed blades like most juicers. Supposedly the benefit of this is that there is no heat effect on the juice which destroys a lot of vitamins within the juice. This process also means the juice retains its full nutrient quality for up to 72hrs, where as the blade systems juices lose quality straight away.

you are applying to much pressure,, use lightly, to avoid nicks, or use a comb.

To a point...the rubber tipped tool allows you surface access between teeth, but not like dental floss.

A tooth sleuth is an instrument that a dentist uses to detect cracks in teeth. It is basically just a strip of plastic that the dentist get you to bite on different corners of your tooth which can indicate a crack.

I'm not certain. I would think that a retainer is worn in order to keep your teeth from moving, and a night guard is similar, but is more a mold to prevent wearing your teeth down. But you said your retainer is getting worn down, which seems to indicate that you are grinding your teeth. So perhaps this is a good option.

Haven't measured, but mine seemed good quality. You would have to have a pretty bad case of bruxism to bite thru the material, especially considering you don't sleep with the trays in (unless you decide to use them without bleach for a night guard).

I'm not positive...but I think one has a "twin gear" made of stainless steel?, and This one has a single made of solid plastic. They both preform the same "masticating" action. Hope this helps.

I've been using them so long It's hard to remember back to when I used regular tooth brushes that were classified as soft and medium. However, assuming my memory is correct, I'd actually call these somewhere in the medium/hard catagory. Probably in my opinion half way between medium and hard.

I have know Idea what "fit and finish" is referring to, I would have to see it in a sentence. Sounds like some stupid slang. Sorry for know help

These trays are soft and rubbery in your mouth. I do not think they are hard enough to use to prevent grinding.

You get a little more kale juice but not much. A masticating juicer will yeild far more juice from kale leaves, it also in my opinion makes the kale less harsh. I use both the centrifugal and masticating juicer. Its more clean up, but the end results are better.

It's about the same as hand grinding pepper. The actual mechanism doesn't squeek or make noise. It's the crunching of bean that makes the sound. No metal on metal or ceramic on ceramic sounds at all.

Just the tip. The end of it is aggressivly knurled so that it can be used as a blunt defensive weapons.

It is a very low profile mouthpiece. I have TMJ and this did not cause any issues with any sort of hyperextension of my jaw. It is also very comfortable in that you can easily close your lips while you have it in - nothing bulky about it in my opinion.

All I know is that it indicates "fine, Medium, coarse" on one end panel. My grandson is an Eagle Scout, he lives with me and loves using it. Does a great job!

Notching is the act of working a ribbed "groove" into a softer surface such as wood. There are many uses for this such as making notches for rope or 550 cord to bind into.

The base of it is part of the cap, that part is hard. The top pulls out of the base is soft. So the part that you put in your mouth is soft like rubber. I hope that makes sense
