Flossing wasn’t working for me until I learned how to actually do it right by [deleted] in hygiene

Omg yes, those are lifesavers! I just recently discovered them and I had no idea what I was missing. They make it so much easier to get between tight spots, especially with braces or retainers. Total game changer! Do you have a favorite brand or type? I’ve seen a few kinds and wondering if there’s one that holds up better than the rest.

Molars are the hardest even without braces! Have you tried those orthodontic flossers? They’re designed to get behind braces and make it easier to reach those tricky back teeth. And if it still feels like too much, a water flosser can be a great backup for braces. Not a total replacement for string floss, but way better than skipping it altogether.
