Now, I've come to find that I'm unable to floss between my teeth. Before I had braces, I was able to floss...on the rare occasions that I did. According to the little instruction booklet that I got, you're supposed to use the threader and slide the floss behind your archwire, and then pull up through your teeth up to the gums. Well, I just flossed tonight, and have found that I'm unable to pull the floss up through my teeth because it's too tight. Even when I'm using some strength, it doesn't go through! (And, it makes my teeth hurt) Is this normal? The only way that I've been able to floss is to use the threader and 'thread' it through the space between my teeth at my gumline (does that make sense?).
Also, I'm not a frequent flosser (shame on me, I know

Last but not least...when they say floss every tooth, they really mean it, including the molars, right?
TIA!
