Review on 🦷 Leverage Listerine Ultraclean Access Disposable Snap-On Flosser Refill Heads - Mint Flavored (28 Count) for Optimal Oral Care by Jordan Serba

My local grocery store has sold this product for years. In the last year or two I've found that they're getting harder and harder to find. Now they don't wear them at all. I came to Revain and bought 10 packs! I've been addicted to this type of thread since my dentist introduced me to it 10 years ago. If you have close contacts, this thread works very well. At least they do for me. But there is certainly a trick, and it will take practice. Be careful and don't force anything! Although they snap into the training grip, they don't use any arm strength at all. Believe it or not, for me, power comes from your jaws (especially for the molars) with a little twist when needed. Basically, you gently bite into different parts of the head of the floss to push it through the tight contacts with opposing teeth. There are two important points about this technique. First, I find it much better to place the floss at an angle to your teeth. This is a much smoother process to get filaments through close contact. I start with one end of the line head touching the gap. The floss is almost perpendicular to the teeth. I bite carefully and slide the thread through the contact at an angle, perhaps with a slight twist. The angle should prevent the floss from snapping into the gums. There may still be a click, but since it's at an angle, it shouldn't click hard on the gums. If it clicks hard on the gums, something is wrong with your technique or your teeth and you should stop. Second, use your tongue as a counter force, as you might do with dynamic tension exercises. As you push with your upper teeth to push the floss through your lower teeth, your tongue rests lightly on the floss. This gives you some control over the binding. Essentially, your tongue acts as a dampener for each click. When coming out of the gap, I also guide the thread at an angle, but instead push the thread out with my tongue (open the yarn head slightly outwards). I think everyone is a little bit different. But this process worked better than anything I've used before. I have also tried different disposable floss but found the head of the floss to be too flexible/pliable. These attachable Listerine heads and the handle that supports them are pretty stiff, which is what I need. *PSA: In general, the technique I have described is good for close contacts. Of course everyone is different and you need to be careful when trying to force something that may not work for you. If it hurts, stop! If there's blood, stop!
