I recently tried the Platypus Orthodontic Flossers for Braces, and I must say that they have truly revolutionized my flossing routine. As someone who wears braces and understands the challenges of effectively cleaning around orthodontic appliances, I was excited to find a product specifically designed to make flossing easier and more convenient. The Platypus Orthodontic Flossers come in a unique design that features a slender flosser arm with a pre-threaded floss loop at the end. This design allows for easy maneuverability around brackets, wires, and other orthodontic hardware, making it simple to reach and clean those hard-to-reach areas that traditional flossing can struggle to access. What sets these flossers apart is their convenience and ease of use. The pre-threaded floss loop eliminates the need for threading regular floss through brackets, saving me time and hassle during my oral hygiene routine. The slim flosser arm also makes it easy to navigate around my braces without causing discomfort or irritation to my gums. I appreciate the durability of the flossers as well. The floss is strong and resilient, allowing me to effectively remove plaque and food particles from between my teeth and around my braces without fraying or breaking. This durability ensures that I can achieve a thorough clean without having to worry about the floss snapping mid-use. Furthermore, the flossers are compact and portable, making them ideal for on-the-go use. I can easily carry them in my pocket, purse, or backpack, ensuring that I can maintain my oral hygiene no matter where I am. In conclusion, the Platypus Orthodontic Flossers for Braces have become an essential part of my oral care routine. Their innovative design, ease of use, durability, and portability make them a standout product for anyone with braces looking to maintain optimal oral health. I highly recommend these flossers to anyone seeking a convenient and effective solution for flossing with braces.

I am a 46-year-old woman who just got braces. It has been quite the journey during the first week getting used to them and all their "friends": the sores in my inner cheek, the difficulty eating food and eliminating certain foods I used to eat, and especially the challenge of keeping my teeth and gums clean. These Platypus flossers have helped tremendously. I did a lot of research on different orthodontics flossing devices, and I ending up buying these flossers along with Oral-B Superfloss, G.U.M. Go Betweens Proxabrushes, regular floss to be used occasionally with the threader from my orthodontist, and a 10X magnification mirror. I went from being in tears trying to floss my teeth to finally heaving a sigh of relief with a smile once I figured out how to keep my teeth clean. Here is what I have found works best: The Platypus flossers are wonderful, easy to use, and the easiest of all the flossers in terms of "feel". That is, I don't have to look in the mirror to use them. I can easily tell by feel where to place the Platypus under the wire between my brackets. However, these flossers do NOT work when the brackets are placed very closely together. This is the case with my bicuspids and cuspids. Due to how my teeth need to move and rotate properly, my orthodontist placed the brackets on two adjoining teeth (on each side) very, very closely together, so the Platypus flosser does not fit at all in between these teeth because the space between the brackets is too narrow. It won't even fit under the arch wire! In that case, the Oral-B Superfloss is my perfect solution. I can easily thread its tiny, narrow, stiff end right in between the narrowest of crevices (under the arch wire) in order to floss. It works even better than the stiff threader my orthodontist provided. I wouldn't be able to floss everything without it. For my premolars and molars, both the Superfloss and these Platypus flossers work almost equally well. Again, the Platypus flossers work best in the rear of my mouth where the brackets are spaced more widely apart due to the larger size of the molars. I use the G-U-M Go Betweens back here, also, because they are perfect for clearing packed food from between my brackets and around the arch wire. Finally, the other indispensable part of my flossing routine is the stand-up 10X magnification mirror. Before I ordered it from Amazon, I wasn't able to see in the way back of my mouth where I needed to floss because my jaw is so narrow. I needed both hands to separate my lips and cheek from the flossing area, and I couldn't do that while holding a mirror. Right now, with all of these tools, I can floss faster and more easily! I hope this helps all those frustrated souls who, like me, struggle with very crowded teeth and newly placed braces and who were beginning to think flossing effectively would be impossible. It's not if you have the right tools. Don't give up, and you will find the solution that is best for you.

My daughter has braces with a herbst appliance. She swears by these as the best flosser that works for braces.

After our dentist suggested using the Platypus Orthodontic Flossers Flosser for Braces to our daughter, I bought them. She is now flossing her teeth, which has braces every day. She said that it is very easy to use and helps her to floss. We ordered the 3 bag bundle, which makes it a better value.

Such an amazing product! I am in my 2nd round of braces as an adult and these are game changer!
