What is the Best Flosser To Use With Braces? Dr. White Explains


Patients often ask me how they should floss while they are in orthodontic treatment. There are lots of products on the market that offer advanced flossing techniques. The bottom line is finding something that works for you.

I was recently asked about the Platypus Flosser. Many of my patients use this product and love it. Other patients prefer other products. With so many designs out there, it is best to try out a few and see what works best. Once you find something stick with it. It is so important to floss while you are wearing braces, that it really doesn't matter which product you go with. So long as it helps you floss regularly.

I had braces for nearly two years and the Platypus flosser was the only thing that got me to floss regularly. My son is getting braces on very soon and for someone his age I believe the Platypus is perfect. I am so happy you recommended it!
