Flossing Woes and Questions
Posted: Thu Apr 22, 2010 10:18 am
I've had my braces (upper and lower) for about two weeks. I've started flossing in the past week as my teeth are finally calming down.
I'm threading the flossing through my brackets but it takes forever and the brackets usually shred my floss. Also, several of my teeth are so close together now that I can't get floss between them. Is that normal? I also have trouble getting to my back teeth around my molar bands.
Is there any faster or easier way to floss than by threading the floss through? Any gadget I don't know about but should look into?
