> 3 dayWithout these, I hate flossing my teeth so much that it just usually doesnt happen more than a few times a month. With these, I can do it every day or at least almost every day. I have orthodontic brackets behind my top AND bottom teeth. If you have brackets too, or braces, these things are a life saver. . . or at least a cavity saver. I stock up and buy in bulk because my wife has a bracket too and resents how annoying it makes flossing even more than I do. Give them a try. It hurts how pricey they are, but its cheaper and less painful (and less gross) than not flossing regularly and needing extensive dental work done in the future. Hopefully thats helpful.

> 3 dayMy 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!

> 3 dayThese threader flossers work on my lower teeth kept straight by my permanent retainer so that ive been cavity-free for years. Theyre long enough to floss the rest of my teeth, as well. Easy to use.

> 3 dayI just got braces last month and terrified my teeth would become rotten. I did not spend a boatload of money for braces just to have rotten teeth at the end! Found these on Amazon and gave it a try. It is so much better than using regular floss and attaching it to a threader. This is much faster and more efficient. I agree with some people that the floss can get caught in the brackets of the braces and split, but so did my regular thread + floss set up. The fact that it is individually packaged is a plus. The floss does not get tangled to other floss and I can just throw it in with my toiletries for travel. Def recommend!

> 3 dayThis is the perfect floss for braces. They get right in between just fine. The only complaint I have is it being a little pricey for what it is.

> 3 dayI have used several types of bridge threaders for cleaning, and Glide Threaders are the easiest to use. Others are either hard to thread because they are not stiff enough or , where dental floss has to be threaded into a loop before using, harder to use. Glide appears to be more expensive than some others, but they are worth the cost.
