@salonmokka you can go below the gum line using the the flossFish. The video demonstrates how to use the flossFish, it is not intended to be a clinical video on flossing.

is this flossing? I got my braces today and it takes me so long to floss them and I thought we have to go between the teeth? because looks like to me that you're going on them but between them, does that make sense?

[flossfishguy]

@808RJR The flossFish goes underneath your wire, the floss is going in between your teeth and your other hand is supporting the floss. So just imagine the flossFish a small finger that can fit under your wire & then you would floss normally.

@flossfishguy Like, where can you buy it and how much is it?

[flossfishguy]

@shadowsart9 you can buy them at floss fish dot com for $5. They are re-usable and should last for years.

[GotGab]

um, your not getting in between the gumline.

that causes gum diease. trust me

[salonmokka]

It's not even getting below the gums which is the whole point of flossing. Not just in between the teeth.

[ilovehandbags06]

That is awsome. I've had mine for two weeks and havne't flossed it's too hard like floss is getting stuck.

[MusicIsMehLife1]

@Dramacydle i would also think so but i have seen a 59 year old man with braces

[MusicIsMehLife1]

I have one of those but i never knew how to use them thank you very much :D

[bassamedic]

unfortunately i can't find something like that tool here in Egypt ! :S...

[timmytrooper141]

It can do that, he was trying to demonstrate how fast it is

[Dramacydle]

This video does not properly demonstrate good flossing technique. In proper flossing, the floss should wrap around the tooth and go underneath the gum line. In this video, the floss only goes between the points between the enamel but it stops before it fully covers the gum area, which can easily lead to periodontitis (various gum diseases).

Can the flossFish tool be positioned and used in such a way that would allow for flossing beneath the gums? If so, I would like to see it demonstrated.
