How to Floss with Braces

Flossing with braces can be a bit of a nuisance, so we hope to show you some options to take care of your braces and keep them clean!
In this video, Olivia and Dr. Nemeth go over 6 options to floss with braces.
Option 1 is a Floss Threader
A floss threader is easier to maneuver and allows you to fit traditional dental floss underneath the wire on your braces. This is what is recommended by orthodontists and is very similar to the traditional way of flossing your teeth.
www.gumbrand.com/gum-eez-thru...
Option 2 is the Soft-Pick Advanced
This is Dr. Nemeth's personal favorite tool for cleaning between the teeth with or without braces. This instrument is very good at getting in small spaces between the teeth and cleaning braces, brackets or bridges.
www.gumbrand.com/between-teet...
Option 3 is the ProxaBrush
These proxy brushes are great, they can bend, and they also allow you to reach areas of your mouth that may be difficult to reach with traditional dental floss. They will fit into larger spaces much easier than the soft-picks. These proxy brushes are disposable so you can clean your braces on the go and throw them away!
www.gumbrand.com/catalogsearc...
Option 4 is The Doctor's Brush Picks
These are the smallest of the tools that we discuss and are excellent for cleaning those tight spaces that the other tools can't fit in between. This is another fantastic option for flossing with braces, and this is another one of Dr. Nemeth's favorite tools for cleaning between the teeth.
www.doctorsnightguard.com/ora...
Option 5 is the Platypus Flosser
This is a very fast and easy option for flossing. The Platypus flosser is very similar to a normal floss pick, but it is customized to fit underneath the wire of your braces so you can floss on the go.
www.platypusco.com/Retail-Bag...
Option 6 is the Waterpik
This is by far the best option for cleaning between the teeth with or without braces! It is a great way to clean between the teeth and it can get smaller food particles that the other tools we listed may miss. The Waterpik has multiple different speeds and different nozzles for different purposes. The Waterpik is our favorite and best way for flossing with braces or cleaning between the teeth if you have orthodontics.

We hope this helps you keep your braces clean! We love to educate the public about proper oral health care routines including how to floss with braces.

Life hack, when using a floss threader take the threader and pull a piece of floss through it. Then knot the floss to the threader and you no longer need to pull it through each time. It has saved me a lot of time using this method of floss with braces.

The variety of products you have demonstrated is amazing and I will definitely use some of them. My only problem is that I simply cannot use the Floss Threader. It's nice that you are showing how to do it on perfect teeth model but our teeth are very tight on its each other and do not look that way with perfect space in between! And if they did we wouldn't need braces! Second, the way Olivia is showing how to floss doesn't make sense at all! One hand is completely inside the jaw like we are just a walking jaws without the head. In reality it's super hard to floss the normal way!

I can swear by the Platypus flosser!!👍👍. They are a bit pricey (in my opinion)...I can’t locate them in any stores where I live so I have to buy them from Amazon - about $9 for a bag of 30, but they are worth it. Adult here, 12 months into my 24 month braces journey. With the powerchains, I was having so much trouble flossing with either a floss threader or the superfloss. The struggle was real. I have used the Waterpic Flosser device prior to braces and it does a very good job. For me, I vary my flossing during the week...sometimes just platypus floss and thorough brushing...or platypus floss, Waterpic Floss, then thorough brushing, etc. I advise folks not to rely on the Waterpic soley as your floss as it really can’t get deep down beneath the gum lines like floss can to remove tartar, but it does stimulate the gum tissue and remove bits that may have been left from a good flossing. My teeth have always been tight together, so I haven’t had much success w/ the little floss brushes (even the smallest ones) as they rarely fit b/n my teeth. Also, occassionally my gums get a little sore/swollen/puffy. I will rinse with warm salt walter and also a mix of warm salt water with a splash of hydrogen peroxide to swish around my mouth. This usually resuces gum flare ups within a few days - salt is a natural healing agent. Hope this helps!👍👍

I bought cordless H2o floss in Lazada online and tried to use it. The moment it laid to my teeth I got startled from LOW mode. I think one of the most important thing you need to do is prepare your mind and soul for possible pressure on your teeth & gums. I got bleeding gums after using water floss but came refreshed at the same time. I got very sensitive gums so I skip water flossing since two days ago. Btw the little brush didn’t work on me either because its too big to fit in between my teeth so maybe I stick back to thread dental floss.

I also use my homemade toothpaste- org. coconut oil, xylitol and cacao. Am I missing any antibacterial ingredients or step? I don't want to develop gum disease. No cavities last time but some gum issues- got braces to correct since teeth were impacting each other. I am getting very serious about my oral health.

I have never been good about flossing but my teeth were fine before I got braces. I recently have been having periodontal problems since I got braces and although I use a waterpick my dentist said that’s not enough. The floss threaders take me like 30 minutes to floss with (not even joking) and the spaces between my teeth are too small for the first couple brushes. Would the platypus be the best option? Some of my gums hurt so bad I can’t waterpick or brush them very well... 😬

@josephrnemeth 4 жыл бұрын

Having periodontal problems after braces is a very common situation. Your gums are probably hurting and sensitive because they are likely not being cleaned properly or frequently enough. I think the platypus flosser is a great option for you. You should use the Waterpik in combination with another flossing method to get the best result.

Flossing with braces can be a pain, but it needs to be done! Using an interdental cleaners, soft picks or a water flosser will definitely help on most days when you don't get a chance to floss. However, we do still recommend that all of our patients continue to use traditional dental floss. You may be able to replace floss with one of these alternatives on some days, but on other days remember to whip out the dental floss to continue a well rounded dental hygiene routine. Also yes, some minor bleeding can be expected once you first start a new flossing routine. However, after a week, the bleeding should stop.

Hey doc.. I have a question about the water pik.. a friend hygienist told me these could cause gum recession over time ..is that true? If so is there guidelines in which to follow to prevent this? I use them twice a day as it helps cleaning in between the braces

@marams7434 5 жыл бұрын

My hygienist and dentist did not appear worried about my gum.. in fact they both told me they look healthy.. and i only use it on the low setting.. thank you so much doc..

Sorry for asking. Can I know what the difference between periodontist and orthodontist

@josephrnemeth 4 жыл бұрын

Good question! A periodontist specializes in gums/gum disease and dental implants. An orthodontist straightens teeth. It can be confusing!

I just got wire braces and for me it so hard & annoying to floss when you got wire braces. Sometimes it gets frustrating because I would like to go fast you can't and I just give up and gargle with mouthwash.

The waterpik doesn't get rid of the small gunk stuck in your teeth so I try to use regular floss but it hurts like hell 😫

@evelynw2935 3 жыл бұрын

I use a combination of the floss threader, platypus floss and waterpik. Haven't used the waterpik as much because my braces are recently put on and the pressure hurts my tender gum a lot. However, I have no issue flossing with floss threader (time-consuming but it gets everywhere) and the platypus floss (works great except for crooked/overlap teeth). Point is, don't just rely on the waterpik alone and try different types of floss. Hope you'll find one that works well for you :)

You should watch some videos on proper brushing techniques. I used to struggle with this too! Brush twice a day, floss at least once a day (make sure to get in the gums too) and use a good mouthwash. I recommend oral b bum care toothpaste, listerine tooth defence mouthwash and a medium oral b total care toothbrush. 6 month cleaning at dentist, yearly check ups ect
