I have the small ones that Jen showed a pic of and i love using those between my back teeth. It actually feels really good. But i use a thicker one for between the brackets and they clean really well, sometimes I use my whitening toothpaste with them.

These are all really great. They have the different sizes and handles. I use the handle and refills. Theres a link for that on the right. I bought a small packet to start, picked the ones i liked then bought in bulk. Walmart doesn't really carry a lot of these.

There is a replaceable tip one from Oral B with a long handle and I love it for doing back teeth. I only have that at home though, my dental kit that I carry around has those small ones. I go through each space between my teeth and wire before and after a brush and amazing what you dislodge even after you think you have brushed really well!

My back teeth has moved (large space) and the brush fitted in great between the teeth with molar bands, I dislodge heaps of stuff there.

I started with the really thin one but since my teeth has started moving, I found the xmas tree ones much better for cleaning between the wires and wire tie twisty bits.
