Nope: Orthodontists do not use dental floss to straighten teeth. Wires, brackets, springs, elastics, and invisalign trays are accepted methods. If you were thinking of doing it yourself with floss, the answer is still no. You can't do what it takes a professional years of experience to learn.

Impossible Task: If you want your teeth straightened, the best option is always to see an orthodontist and get braces or other orthodontic modalities.
