Flossing With Braces

We must honestly me 20 minutes to floss, and therefore it is not very often. Is flossing, even important, and is there an easier way to floss with braces as opposed to flosss chains?

Have you considered trying a peak of water. It is a device that draws strong burst of water to remove debris from between the teeth. It may be just what you need!

Oh, and yes, flossing is very important for the long-term health of your gums!

Good luck!

I already had braces, and I know all about the 20 minutes it takes to silk, its boring!
Even if you're going to hate:
practice makes perfect!
i cannot express to you the truth of the SI to floss with a camera, just do it every day and yes, in a week you'll start getting faster. its boring and "waste" of time, but you have to do!
I also found a brand called Silk superfloss worked very well for me ... you can get to the pharmacy
and what it is, is a unique piece of silk (as opposed to the original my ortho gave me, which invovled a regular piece of wire and floss threader), I found that using One piece of silk allowed me to floss better and faster ..
sound exactly like ordinary silk, but approximately 2 inches at one end of it is a little thicker and tougher so you can get under your son (ecspeciially on the bottom row) and you easilythrough teeth silk
I highly recommend trying it once I tried it, it was everything I used to floss!

u can buy at Walmart over streams or any other store ..
those of a great help!

Do you use those annoying blue silk channels? I hate those. Something is better channels Oral-B or Crest Glide wire threader. What is a piece of wire with a high-end threader (end stiff) you just get right into the grooves. It is also faster than using dental floss regularly. Go to the nave and buy silk.

Lol, there, done that.

It's a pain in the back is not it? Unfortunantley, flossing is an extremley important part of your oral hygiene and should be done.

I can not really tell you how to make it easier, but I stopped flossing chains because I think they have longer, I used them on my back teeth.


When flossing try listening to iPod/MP3, radio or music to entertain you. I found that it is now much less annoying.


XD I'm best.

I'm in school for dental hygiene, and we recommend superfloss also .. You can also opt for a tootbrush power and small interdental brushes (like X-mas trees) .. Also do not forget to visit your hygientist 2x a year for regular cleanings!

Yeah, flossing with a camera is really annoying. But you have to, because it's much harder to keep teeth clean with braces and flossing will ensure your gums and between teeth stains remain clean.
The wireless networks are the only option, but I noticed when I had braces if you try a few different types of dental floss brand, you will find a beautiful you. My favorite is called Glide, and it slips through the teeth very well. You can also ask your orthodontist on the type of floss threader works best. Some are like soft needles and flop around in a very boring - avoid these, looking for a needle threader silk is stronger and see if you prefer.
One last thing: when you get the braces off ...... gonna be so fun to floss - take about 1 minute! ;-)
