While the flossers were great when I was flossing my braces one-handed, they do the job still, but I don't find them the most effective now. I guess I'll use the threader flosses, but I no longer need to thread. The large silicone wax, I can use for ear plugs as they were designed for.... but I never wear ear plugs. The regular ortho wax, I haven't figured a use for. The elastics just sit there looking cute...all 10 bags of them. I have no need for them, but I just can't bring myself to throw anything out yet. Am I weird? I keep thinking I may run into someone else in braces who may need something... Like they would want my elastics when their dentist probably gives them plenty.
I also have 4 dental splints I no longer need. Two of them were my 'friends' for so long and helped me so much, I feel thankful to have had them. Crazy to keep those, but I spent thousands of dollars on them and it doesn't feel right to throw out something so expensive.
Maybe one of these days, I'll have that boost to just throw everything out.
Also, for those of you who Water Pik'ed during your braces, how often do you use the WaterPik now? I feel like I'm neglecting mine now that I can get a very good floss in without it.
