Glide Threader Floss, 30-Count Boxes of Single-Use Packets (Pack of 4)

So much better that the old floss and threader system.

The first thing I noticed when I got braces (round 2, wear your retainers kids) was my usual ritual of hitting up the Glide Pro-Health floss was totally out. I think Glide makes the best floss, on the opposite end of the spectrum of that stuff you can buy at gas stations which is about as good as a thread from a dirty shirt. At first I tried what I was given, to loop or tie it on those fishing line threaders. Thats like running hard, pokey plastic through your teeth before each pull, and accidentally biting down is like getting a small piece of bone, almost enough to break a tooth I swear. You would be forgiven for thinking those were the only solution looking in stores or from what the orthodontist says, its only thanks to Amazon I ever heard of these. This integrates a bit of rigid line in the end of the floss, unimpeded by annoying bumps or knots (unless you make one, which will be as gentle as doing that with Glide normally). I did have to deduct a star because it is possible to pull the threader back and have it peel open. The thread does not shred in a low quality fashion, its just it may slowly peel back starting at the base of the threader, revealing a bit of hard line that not only could poke you with extra hard leverage, but perhaps contains a slightly odd, although not orally unsafe adhesive. Really Ive only done this a few times, and I probably shouldnt be pulling the threader backwards even though I like to. Plus its that internal hint of firm, waxy gel that really gives this its bend and push and makes it work so well. Im just happy I can keep using Glide like nothings changed, and Im sure Ill keep these on hand even when Im done with braces.

Exactly as described and quick shipping

The only floss that works for my bridges and veneers. Simple and effective.

When one either has braces or “bridges” in one’s mouth the need to floss becomes a chore. However, with this product it’s is extremely easy as the floss and “pointer” are all one piece so there’s no need to thread a separate piece.

My orthodontist never mentioned this kind of floss. Instead she gave me a threader, which is just like a needle threader except it has a bigger hole. Total pain! It takes long enough to floss between each brace, much less flossing the string each time. My hygentist used this when I went in for a routine cleaning. Yes! It has a two inch stiff/hard section that is super easy to stick under the wire, but in between the brackets. Then you pull it through and floss as usual. The stiff section is long enough to reach my molars in the back. Being an adult with braces, due to TMJ rather than cosmetic reasons, I find it to be a pain (literally and figurativel) to care for the braces. I cannot imagine a kid honestly taking the time to floss. I dread it each night as it makes my nightly teeth cleaning take that much longer. Regardless, this stuff makes it SO much easier and makes me much less likely to skip a night of flossing. On another note, I also purchased a water pik. You still need to floss. The pick is great for around the brackets, but the floss is needed to scrape the sides of your teeth. Oh, one last thing, these are packaged in little individual envelopes so they are super easy to carry with you. That is a must with braces! Theyve actually come in handy with my family when weve been out and about and someone had something in their teeth. Awesome product!

I appreciated the speedy delivery of a product that is often difficult to find in my local stores. It satisfactorily is effective.

The quality has fallen off recently. The stiff part of the threader is curled in a ball, making it impossible to thread between teeth on a bridge. This is the main reason I chose this brand. Quality control needs to be beefed up.

Item arrived quickly and safe. The price is unbeatable as this cost more than $8 for one in the pharmacy. Great seller with great price. Genuine Product; this is no imitation!
