What you need:
- Waxed floss – Unwaxed floss tends to get caught and shred in braces.
- Floss threader – Helps floss slip between each tooth without catching.
- Time – About three times more than you’d spend on your teeth without braces.
Carefully loop a piece of 18-inch floss through the threader. Use the stiff end of the threader to direct the floss under the wire. Once the floss is under the wire, gently slide the floss along the side and up into the gum line of each tooth. Remove the floss and re-thread it under the main wire to pass between the next pair of teeth.
