Brace Yourself With This Flossing Tip

We know flossing is not always an easy task when you have braces. The struggle of getting between brackets can be tough not only on your patience but on your oral hygiene if it's not done correctly or regularly. Have you heard of the Waterpik water flosser?  If you're not familiar with this tool, read more and see how it may become your next best friend when you go to floss.

The Waterpik Water Flosser makes flossing with braces easier and more effective, and it comes with an easy to use orthodontic tip.  It has been clinically proven to work better for people with braces as it removes plaque around braces and improvevs gym health more than dental floss.

A lot of our patients have found that when they use a Waterpik they are able to flush out food particles stuck between their teeth. The water from the Waterpik can reach behind the brackets and wires and hit spots where your floss simply cannot reach. People suffering from gum disease also find Waterpik quite effective because of their ability to flush out bacteria from inside the deep pockets.
