Hello!

When my braces will be removed the ortho will put bonded retainer.
And..i am wondering how can i floss with the wire under my teeth?

Superfloss is not an option for me because i have very tight teeth and it is impossible!How can i use the regular floss?

Any suggestions?

Τhanks!

I have a lower bonded retainer and it's a pain to floss. I like glide floss threaders. I just cut the threader part on an angle and seem to do just find. A floss threader works well too.

Good luck!
