Man when i first …
Man when i first flossed with braces, it took me nearly 20 minutes! Haha, i laugh when i think back about it. Now it just takes me 5 minutes. It isn’t that bad after awhile, and you just get used to it.
Oh that happened to …
Oh that happened to me when i first got my braces on. Because that happened, i started using the Crest brand Glide floss, its this white one that isn’t like the string kind (i cant really describe it but just google it), and its much easier to floss with it than with my old floss, and it doesnt come apart like the string kind. Heres a tip but if you havent really flossed much yet, i’d skip flossing for the first few days since your teeth are really sensitive when u first get them on.
I just got braces …
I just got braces today and I can’t floss with them for the life of me. Especially between my two front teeth – the enamel is eroded at the bottom of both of them and it was hard getting the floss in between those two teeth in the first place! Now with braces, it’s nearly impossible. On the rare time that it started going in, the floss just got snagged on an eroded “hedge” of one of my teeth and it started coming apart. Little strings of the broken apart floss was then stuck.

If your gums get swollen how long does it usually take to go away after you get your braces off?

I don’t have to floss my braces cause i just lost 2 teeth on the top before i got braces, yay
Swollen gums are …
Swollen gums are usually caused from bacteria that has not been brushed or flossed away. Spending a little more time brushing and flossing will help a bunch. Some patients’ gums swell more than others with braces…that usually goes away after the braces are removed.
If your gums get …
If your gums get swollen is there a way to treat that and make it go away?? What do you have to do to treat it?? Can someone please answer my questions?? Thanks so much!!

A WaterPik is a great tool, but it shouldn’t replace flossing.
What’s your opinion …
What’s your opinion on using the WaterPik instead of flossing?
I used floss …
I used floss threaders in the very beginning, but gave up on them and just flossed without them. You don’t really need them as long as you can get the floss through your braces. I find it much easier and faster without.
