Is waxed floss preferable to oral b's super floss?
7 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
It doesn't matter: Oral-B Super Floss is ideal for cleaning braces or bridges, but no matter what type of floss chosen, the most important point is that the best floss for you is the floss that you will use daily.

Depends: Different types of floss clean specific areas better. Waxed is often easier to get between tight teeth. Unwaxed doesn't leave wax deposits but frays easier, superfluous is terrific under bridges. Ask your Dentist?Hygienist what they think is the best floss for you. Flossing dailies great...keep it up.

Glide easiest to use: What ever your preference, just make sure that you are using the dental floss correctly and at least two times daily. The easiest dental floss to use is Glide.
