What are good techniques to floss if you're wearing braces?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Floss threader: A floss threader will help. Follow the package instructions. An excellent substitute is a water pik used daily....Will shorten time in braces.

Waterpik: Definitely a waterpik. Other names are airflosser or waterflosser, and go with the good brands like waterpik, sonicare, oral-b. Use as directed and you will have healthier gums and less chance for decay.
