The flossFish(TM) uses regular dental floss and goes under the wire and between brackets so you can floss normally with braces on without the fuss of using threaders or other devices that can take twice as long or don’t get your teeth nearly as clean. Take a look at the video to see how it works and follow the step-by-step directions listed below:

 

 

  1. hand showing pulling floss

    Step 1. Pull off a small piece of floss and Insert one end of the floss through the small hole at the tip of the flossFish and pull it through.

  2. hand putting floss through the hole at end of the flossFish

    Step 2. Hold one end of the floss against the flossFish.

  3. hand showing floss wrapped around the end of the finger

    Step 3. Insert the shaft under the arch wire, in between each bracket. Work the shaft and the floss carefully to remove plaque between your teeth as you would flossing normally.
