I'm bad about flossing also. I tried to be good at first, but I have slacked off to about once a week. I use the Waterpik though, and at my cleaning (6 months after getting braces) the hygenist told me to 'keep up the good work'. I had no placque or tarter build up and my gums were perfect, no bleeding at all even when she cleaned. I swear by the Waterpik.

JCDamon, my hygenist told me if I choose to come in at 3 months because of my braces, the cost would be $75.00. I'm sure the cost depends on how involved the cleaning is. My insurance pays for 2 a year.
