I've been using Oral-B Superfloss and so far it's worked out well.

I like the Crest glide threader floss too. I like that it is wrapped individually, and it seems to do much better than the Oral B did for me. Like its name it seems to glide easier between my teeth and doesn't get caught as easily on my brakets. I hated the super floss. I'll pay the extra $ for the Crest.

I use the narrowest proxy brush I can get - a pink TePe at the moment. I don't use it like a brush, I use it just like a would a rigid piece of floss!

I've found that the Oral-B superfloss is actually easier to use, b/c I don't have to go and look in the mirror to floss.

I wanted to try threader floss, but didn't want to waste money if it didn't work out, my contacts are tight and I'm scared when pulling out the floss from in between my teeth I might pull my wire out or something :?

Okay, I got my FlossFish Flossing Tool from DentaKit.com today (along with a few other goodies!). The plan is to try and use it tonight, but it's getting late and I'm not sure I would be good at following directions, but I will keep you guys in the loop as to how it goes!

Take care all!

so i got the FlossFish. don't really like it. maybe that's because i have smaller teeth. the website does say that it works best on larger teeth. oh well. i might give it another shot, but at this point, i'll give it a thumbs down! :(

Best Regards,
RS
