How to floss with braces?

Flossing with braces can be difficult due to the wire that runs across the teeth. You can manually thread the floss behind each wire or use a floss threader or orthodontic floss such as Oral B’s ‘Superfloss’ for easier threading. Once through, floss each side of the tooth like normal.

Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks, and we recommend seeking a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner before proceeding.
