I am in agreement with the people who dislike superfloss...
My teeth are SO crowded, that it is really hard to pop the hard end through, and in ALWAYS shreds so I end up having to use at least 2 or 3 pieces of floss.... I am definetly trying something different next time I need to stock up.

floss
I didn't know the superfloss spongey part was for in between teeth!! I have so much to learn!! I really don't like it anyways so, i floss with easy glide minty floss, i have to use a threader but, i like the way it makes my teeth feel...nice and minty! I really don't think i could even get the spongey part in between my teeth. I had a really hard time at first flossing, i mean hurting bad when i did it,,,now it's a breeze

thats the way I have been feeling every time I go to the counter with 6 sets of everything (job1, job2, job3, home purse, boyfriends)... your post made me laugh and laugh! thanks!juf_84 wrote:so I stocked up! I did get a funny look from the check-out chick, buying $25 worth of floss....
I also use the super floss and have gotten used to it, seems like I always have to use more than one thread. Today I had a piece of tomato sauce stuck in my teeth and had to literally get out the tweezers and pull it out.
Re: Aww
My mom gave me a Braun electric flosser and I've never been able to use it. The "floss" is a piece of rubber that's so thick I don't see how it would ever get between my teeth -- much less get threaded around the archwire somehow. I'm sticking to Glide or Reach.Dramagyrl wrote:While stocking up today I saw an electric flosser that says it's just as effective as regular floss and works great for braces.... anyone tried it or should I be sticking with this superfloss when my teeth can take it?

I know this thread is getting a bit old - but I've been given Colgate Periogard by my ortho (I'm in Aus too) & it takes some getting used to. I've also got Super Floss. I tend to use those 2 for my brackets, then floss with tape for my teeth/gums. It takes longer, but that is all I can manage right now. I've only been braced a week so maybe when I toughen up a bit I'll be able to use the thicker stuff.
I've never seen a floss threader?

Okay, I do the interdential brush thing around the brackets several times a day just to make sure I don't have extra food in my teeth I might have missed when brushing.
I don't think I'll start "flossing" them though, I've had both the spongy part and the floss get caught in brackets, I'm just happy to get them between my teeth and be done with them!
