She makes it look so easy. Like I just got braces, my teeth are still messed up and I can’t get to some of them like I used to be able to without them. I also got told to use this really thick fluffy floss (which I quickly figured out was impossible to use)
Any tips for the back teeth though? It’s literally so hard to floss back there because my cheek gets in the way and all the gear makes less room than before. I just end up wanting to quit or not throughly flossing which I know is bad for my teeth and gums :(
What my dentist has recommended to me are these little plastic loops with pointy ends, they sound painful but really come in handy when trying to get the back teeth! I'll try and find a link for you ;) www.amazon.ca/Sunstar-840RI-GUM-Eez-Thru-Threader/dp/B00DURFAFU/ref=sr_1_18?dchild=1&keywords=flossing+aid&qid=1628656887&sr=8-18 I know this is an amazon link and some people don't appreciate that but I hope they help! I think I'm in the exact same position as you, I'm tired of this!!!!!!! www.amazon.ca/Threaders-Braces-Bridges-Implants-420PCS/dp/B086PFSR73/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=floss+threaders+bulk&qid=1628657663&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyNlFNOUc4UDFXWkNJJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMjEwMzU2QlkwQzUxU1EwVUdXJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA0OTMxMTJBVFpIR0ZKUDdKSksmd2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl here's an off brand one that's a little more cost effective. If you're like me and you go through two of them every time you floss, you'll find this helpful!
What you can do, if you really can't floss the back, what you could do is floss the front ones, then for the back AND front you can use soft picks..you push your gums abit and put the pick between your teeth and take it out, helps and also you won't struggle as much 🙂 maybe not as good but you still get the food out..i guess? 😂😂
I feel like it‘s much easier to use a shorter amount of floss, there is too much room. Still a good video. Flossing with braces will never be fun. It takes long time even after doing it for a while! But the gums will thank you
I have braces and I’m missing a tooth which is what I’m insecure about. It’s hard to floss with braces on since I have to get to school on time and flossing with braces takes long
