Customer Rating:
Summary: Great for braces.
Comment: These don't come cheap, but they are great for people with braces. Saves a lot of time vs. using a threader and floss separately.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Flossing with bridges
Comment: With two bridges to contend with, the only way to floss is with special thread that has a leader to get under the bridge. Glide Threader floss does a great job and is handy to use with the individual packs.

Summary: williamsfamily3
Comment: Good product! Very easy for my son to use while wearing braces. One end of the floss is stiff and therefore easy to thread through those hard to reach places.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Got braces? Get this!
Comment: I recently had braces put on and my orthodontist gave me a kit which included floss and a separate threader. What a pain that was! A coworker told me about this product and I'm so glad she did. What used to take me 20 minutes and was a source of great frustration is now simple and fast. Definately a great buy.

Summary: A Floss Primer
Comment: As a dentist of over 20+ years experience, I have seen over and over again the results of not flossing one's teeth. The unfortunate result of such neglect is cavities (especially in kids), and inevitable gum disease in adults, which in both cass over time leads to tooth loss. Gum disease almost always starts in-between the teeth and the only way to clean the germs that cause gum disease and cavities from between the teeth is with floss. Mechanical scrubbing with floss is the key, and all the daily brushings and rinsings will not remove the in-between stubborn plaque below the gumline. The bottom line is that we need to floss our teeth if we want to keep them for a lifetime.
For those that have braces or bridges, there needs to be a means to get under the brace or bridge and clean the plaque off to keep the teeth and tissues healthy. That is the purpose of this product. It comes with a plastic "needle" and Glide floss. One uses the needle with floss to get under those bridges and braces. It works very well indeed.
I have recommended this floss aid to my young patients over the years and I strongly recommend it to anyone with bridges as well. One has to develop the habit of flossing daily, and this device aides in the mechanics of flossing, making it a breeze. Get it and save your teeth!
