How To Water Floss Braces

Traditional string flossing of braces is extremely difficult. Maneuvering around the wires and brackets is time-consuming and often results in the string floss becoming stuck and shredded, which means you’ll need more fresh string floss. However, flossing with an oral irrigator or water flosser is much more effective, efficient, and comfortable. A forceful stream of water replaces the string floss, delivering a much more thorough cleaning to your entire mouth. Studies have shown water flossing to be 50% more effective than string floss and its capacity for removing plaque 29% greater (Source: https://bit.ly/3boMnW0).
