Flossing with Braces

Flossing tips

• Floss every night prior to going to bed.  It is best to do it when you do not feel rushed.

• Use a floss threader to aid in flossing.  A floss threader will allow you to get the floss under the wire so you can clean between your teeth.  

• Floss-threaders and Superfloss can be used to help pass floss under archwires to facilitate flossing of the teeth. 

• Remember, the more you floss, the faster you will get and the healthier your mouth will be.
