Flossing with braces is... tricky. We admit it. But if you skip it, you risk "white spots" (decalcification) on your teeth when the braces come off.
The Secret Weapons
- Platypus Flossers: These are special floss picks designed to fit under the wire. They are a lifesaver.
- Superfloss: Floss with a stiff end that you can thread like a needle.
- Water Flosser: While it doesn't replace string floss 100%, a Waterpik is fantastic for blasting food out of brackets.
