Review on Oral-B Super Floss Pre-Cut Strands, Mint, 50 Count, Pack of 2: Efficient Dental Floss for Comprehensive Oral Care by Amber Perez

Teeth, oh these teeth, something always happens to them, then they erupt, and we don’t sleep with our children because of this, then they change, I remember how shocked I was when my child lost his first tooth and it turned out to be ... without a root, I didn’t know where to run, I thought that it had broken off and remained in the gum :))) Then caries appears in them, etc., etc. And sometimes we ourselves "complicate" our lives when we want them not to have the look that they got naturally, but to be "like a movie star" . The last case is mine. And although I am not equal to movie stars, I always wanted to have a beautiful even smile. And having lived up to ... I will not say how many years, I decided that it was time. As the saying goes, it's now or never. And got braces. Whoever used them knows that high-quality brushing of teeth turns into at least a half-hour daily ritual. Of course, in addition to the "iron jaw" I received a set of special devices designed specifically for braces, but this was not enough. Flossing in this position becomes simply necessary, even if you have never used it before. Dental floss, let's call it "regular" Oral-B, is absolutely not suitable for this, it breaks and clings to the locks just terribly. In addition, it has a round shape, which is inconvenient. The Bioseptly thread turned out to be stronger, besides it is flat, which is much more convenient. But both of them, as well as all the others, have one significant drawback: they are all very inconvenient in diving under the arc. Actually, it is precisely because of this that brushing your teeth with braces is delayed for so long. And just recently, walking through the expanses of Ozone, I saw a dental floss that was designed specifically for braces, as well as bridges, implants, and just wide interdental spaces. This is the Oral-B Superfloss thread: And even the fact that this is a regular dental floss of this manufacturer did not please me too much, did not stop me from buying, because BEFORE that I had never seen such a specialization in threads anywhere. Since before buying the thread I saw only in the picture, when they brought me, I was disappointed. Well, you know, usually the threads are placed in a plastic box, because they will use it most often in the bathroom, so that it does not deteriorate from water. And then they brought me a cardboard box, besides not very small. It is the size of 3 packs of ordinary dental floss. On the back, it is written in detail in several languages in what situations you can and should use superfloss and how to use it in general, with pictures, if anyone has a weak imagination :) By the way, you can use it for "ordinary " teeth (this is literally the words from the packaging). Although, in my opinion, this is not advisable because you will have to overpay for those options that you can easily do without. The Oral bi superflos thread itself, like other products of this brand, is made in Ireland, which is indicated on the packaging: perhaps the most terrible thing in this thread, And further. In the description on Ozone, it was written that there were 50 threads in the package, to be honest, I hoped to the last that this was some kind of typo and it was not 50 threads, but 50 meters of thread. But it turned out that this was not a typo. There are actually 50 threads in the box. So it should last a couple of months, maybe longer if each thread is used for a couple of days. This horrible, flimsy-looking cardboard box opens like a disposable tissue box. Inside, the threads are hermetically sealed and in order to get them, you need to tear the bag in which they are located along the existing perforation: Everything is simple here, we hook the first thread that comes across with our finger and pull it out of the box completely. And do not let the appearance of what you see in the top photo scare you. The fact is that since the thread is specialized, then it has the appropriate shape and structure. It has a very thin and hard end, which allows you to insert the thread even into the smallest interdental space. Moreover, the length of this tip is such that it is very convenient to use it even with not too thin and dexterous fingers, since it is long (about 5 cm) and can be used as a needle. Next, it is followed by the spongy part of the dental floss. It only seems so thick, but in reality, when pulled, it can take on any shape and squeeze into any place. And it is with this part of the thread that it is most convenient to clean everything that we absolutely do not need between the teeth. This porous part of the thread is followed by a long piece of ordinary thread. It is round in cross section. And I must say that I personally do not like this section of the thread. It works well for wide interdental spaces, but this part is too hard for me, on the first day I cut my gum with it three times. In addition, despite the fact that it seems thinner, you cannot traditionally stuff it between densely standing teeth from below. In addition, this "tail” even bothers me, because the thread has to be completely dragged under the arch of the braces. Well, if we talk about the minuses, then we can say that the spongy end of the thread, with an awkward movement, can catch on the lock, but if the doctor puts a metal ligature on some "stubborn" tooth, then it will end with a 99% probability thread. However, in defense of Oral-B Superfloss, I can say that it still helped to cut the brushing time by about half and made this process noticeably easier. Therefore, I still recommend this thread.
