PlackersOrthopick Flosser for Braces, 24 Count (Pack of 2)

A must have for anyone with braces.

My granddaughter is so happy

Muy buenos

My child has had braces for the last 2 years; every check-up is fantastic as her teeth are always flossed. These are a must-have item if you have braces.

Wayyy better than the threaders. Way faster than the threader.

Forget the floss string and threader. If you want your kids to floss with their braces, you make it as easy as possible. These will usually fit underneath the wire (usually too tight after a recent adjustment) and make flossing so much faster, which means easier, which means less resistance to flossing. I used them a few years ago when I had braces, too. Not once did the floss break. Has a handy pick on the other end you can use too. They are a bit expensive, and I know it's gross, but I would wash and reuse them for a couple days before discarding - and they held up to that too.Now that I'm out of braces I still buy the Plackers Twin-Line instead of standard floss because the quality is so much better than other flossers. Firm, tight and they rarely fray.

This is a must for anyone with braces. It's so important to keep up oral hygiene while wearing braces and this helps to make it possible. It's easy to get under the wire in most places unless narrow or super tight. I was able to use this almost everywhere and manually thread floss in just a few places that these couldn't reach. Using this flosser saves so much time and makes me feel like I'm still able to floss well. These even went under power chains that come in the later stages of braces!

Update:9/12/16So as I said in my original review, sometimes these will not fit if your teeth are too crowded. So I only had braces on the top teeth and the floss worked well. I got the bottom today and my teeth are too crowded I guess because it definitely is not going in. I'm hoping that when they straighten out a bit they will fit. As of now I guess I have to floss the other way which I hate but oh well.I got these and the Platypus ones to see which ones work better but they both worked the same for me and in the future I may just stick with these because they're cheaper..Anyway here is my review. I was very happy when I got these because I hated flossing with the other kind of floss. These worked for me and fit great under the wire. It may get a little challenging if your teeth are too crowded or close together (my front ones weren't exactly crowded but seemed like the braces pushed them closer together so the floss wouldn't fit but after a few weeks, spaces opened)... I am now able to floss pretty quickly. It's hard flossing the back teeth though I think this would happen with any floss though. It just takes time to get the hang of it I guess... It may also not fit under your wire if you have small teeth or something... I guess it may depend on the kind of braces you have too. I have traditional ones and stick out a lot maybe if you have smaller flatter ones it may not fit.. I don't know, but I guess you won't know if they work for you until you try.
