  • I water pik and floss, am I the only person that loves having braces? 0.0

  • I hate flossing with braces it takes like 7 min.

  • I actually gave up flossing my teeth after putting these damn braces >_<

  • hahaha omg i feel so stupid! I've always tied the floss onto those. wooww

  • Use the easy brush cleaners they have. WAAAYYYY Better than flossing.

  • i was sweating like a madman while flossing.

  • I find these so easy. It takes me less than a minute to floss all my teeth. I don't use the recommended 18inches but smaller pieces and at each thread I keep the Threader on my pinkie finger. Rinse it with warm soapy water after each half and then I keep it in a clean pouch until it is loosing its shape. Then it is time to replace the threader - about once a week.

  • I have two suggestions:

    -Use Superfloss, or any brand of floss with one end stiff and pointy, it slips right under the arch wire, no need to thread it!

    -If you insist on using the threader, actually tie one end of the floss to the loop on the threader, that way you don't have to thread it about 30 some odd times, simply guide it under.

    also, a waterpik would make your gums and teeth much healthier, and it takes about 30-60 seconds. It does replace flossing, but it help oodles. Less floss time.

  • once you use a threader, could you safe for other usage later?

  • Use a waterpik, avoid all this nonsense...

  • @starknife or an icepick...

  • craazy

  • AWESOME PRODUCT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • LOL! I've been using them wrong this entire time... I thought they were the floss =.=

    I got some of these in a bundle braces care pack and they were missing the instructions... So I just assumed the straight bit is used for flossing, and the loop for holding onto the floss more easily. Wow... No wonder why my gums also bled when I used them. Lawl, at least I know better now.

  • @Refinnejam LMAOOO omg wow i thought i was the only one who thought they were the floss!! ahahaha epic fail!!!!!!!

  • it really takes forever to do that >_>!

  • just tie the floss onto the loop thing with a loose knot, and keep it small.I find it way easier.

  • Just flossed and it took me about 20 minutes to do so.

  • @tdottchickk, These tiny brushes that you can put in between each bracket. Type it into google or google images and you can see.

  • so the purpose of the floss threader's just to use it to get the floss into the teeth?

  • @tdottchickk It's used to get the floss underneath your archwire.

  • ohhh shit!! I was using the hoop to floss the whole time.. dumb me.

  • i find those wee interdental brushes good.

  • @RejectedKittyCat, what are those??

  • noNoNO. JUST GET A WATER PIK! its a irragation thingy that ur basically flossing with water! its evan more effective than floss!! get it!

  • Who actually buys this??  :-D

  • I did yesterday...it didn't cut down the time spent with going through the braces

  • people who have braces, like me for instance.

  • wtf is the point of this? can't u just poke the floss through the hole? that floss threader made my life like what..0.00001% easier... yeah right

  • This is stupid if u guyz can even floss .Lmao

  • @elite542 it for braces dumdass

  • it lookks gross when it goes in the gumms

  • @woahmg i know right, :). and im scared it might hurt too lol.

  • stupid floss, i spent 2 hours trying to floss my teeth with my braces, until i was like "F u floss!!"

  • @webcams101, lol! do you still floss or did you stop? just got braces and yes, flossing's a pain in the backside. trying to learn to do it. and i've read you get cavities and stuff if you don't, so i know i need to start doing it now.

  • @tdottchickk For me that's BS. I've only had cavities on top of my tooth (the part where you bite) on my back teeth. I've never had them in between my teeth. But hey. I'm not a dentist.

  • @ubergirliz1 You certainly can get cavities inbetween your teeth. For example, if you have very crowded tighly packed teeth, you can get a cavitiy because you are unable to clean the tight area. Cavities can form anywhere on the teeth. And everyone should floss, at least once a day. If someone doesn't floss, maybe they should Google Gum Disease, that might kick their butt into gear.

  • @webcams101 i know me 2 lol r u a guy??

  • @webcams101 Me too!!

  • i would recomend the water pick

  • Floss threaders are dumb, there's nothing easy about threading a floss threader for every tooth if you have braces. I suggest a product called Oral B Superfloss. It cost 2.75 at wal mart for 50 of them and they're pre cut floss with fishing line on the end of it so its stiff and it has a fat part on the line to clean your braces and a lot of regular floss on the end. It works perfect and you don't have to thread a damn thing.

  • just had my braces at it sucks...arghh

  • i had mine 3 days ago..its kinda better now....you'll get used to it

  • theres way easier ones you can buy, there are called crest gliders or something like that, but its just like regular floss, but on one end of the floss it is hard so you can push them behind your wire, i have these glide things and i have braces. :)

  • i have tht i hate it.......it breaks all the time

  • Im getting my braces on the 21st of april.

    im getting the top and bottom done.

    i think it takes approximately 2 Hours through the whole process.

    Can it be?

  • Bah i are on my sixth month with my braces, and i has not flossed once. My orto or dentist dosent care... Lol

  • okay.? first of all.... this is 'helping' you by sticking a floss threader in the wire so it can get the floss and pull it up so you can floss in between your teeth. but why couldnt you just put the FLOSS ITSELF in the wire and then start flossing!! you dont need a string pulling up another string and use the second string to floss. use the first one. just do the same thing but without the floss threader. stick the floss through the wire and viola! this isnt mission impossible.

  • Nice color!!

    (on braces)

  • that takes a LONG TIMEEE!!! i wasted about 30 minutes flossing after lunch at school!!!

  • I know, it drives me crazy how much it sucks dealing with brace

  • it doesn't really suck. ;3 I had braces for 2 years. Feels good. :]]]

  • I hate those things... (more like I just hate flossing with braces in general)

  • I have those they take FOREVER!

  • I used to use these and hated flossing because it took SOOOOOO long to floss. Now I use the platypus flosser and can floss my entire mouth (with braces - oh yes...) in minutes! I found mine at PlatypusCo online, they gave me free shipping because I had the code "floss" from my hygienist... might still work?

  • I have to use that getting braces this wensday morning can't wait:D

  • No offence,

    You must be like, 6 if you were excited for braces. I wanted braces as a six year old...

  • man that takes for EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

  • OMG! i know!!!!!!!

  • i have braces and i hate flossing. it's so hard and my hands always hurt when i do it

  • omg i got braces today and i HATE flossing now, i was literally sweating. so much work and time.

  • ITS HARDER THAN IT LOOKS PPL!!!!

  • it looks so much easier just to poke the floss through

  • We were just gave a disposable little brush set that can clean in between for free.

  • if anyone lives in mississaiga or milton and needs braces contact me cause ive got a good place for you to go 2. jus message me on my youtube account.

  • They work great!but they get frustrating at the back teeth with braces!

  • STURDYFLOSS WORKS BEST

  • lol

  • i have them but... idk im too lazy haha

  • trust me you will need them

  • coooooooooooooooooolllllllllll­ll i want those!!
