I am having a hard time flossing between some teeth. I'm only on day 3 and some teeth are so tight I can't get any floss between them. I've tried the spam spam spam, Reach total care and Glide pro health and none of them can get between 2 tight spots that I've never had problems with before. I have a Waterpik but I would really like to get those two spots really clean. Any suggestions??

You might try the Dentek brushes for tight spaces. I know you can get them at the drug store and Walmart.

I use the crest 3d floss. it really gets between your teeth

I remember not being able to floss my teeth for almost a week after I got my braces put on...I tried lots of different things and ended up with Oral-B Glide Pro-Health Comfort Plus Floss...it's a ribbon floss, so it flattens out against the tooth very easily.

I was going to say the ribbon floss...it is thin and can get easily between tight spots.

Crest Glide Threader Floss will get into even the tightest spots.

I use the Plackers Orthopick and Oral B Superfloss. Both seem to work well with really tight teeth.
