Great idea, poor execution

The design of these denture brushes for braces is great. I really wanted them to work well. They are supposedly made in the US but look more like a Chinese product. Threaded attachment spaced from the handle is good. Attaching to a thinner flat bar that fits between teeth and braces is awful. 90% of them have it loose, so when flossing, the floss is so loose that you can't get to the gumline. Two photos show the same platypus. When flossing, the rods also bend, causing the floss to bend evenโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

The thread is thin and breaks easily

My orthodontic procedures caused me to have massive gingivitis. I was hoping this would make flossing easy and quick enough to do every day. But the floss on the plastic really sucks and is surprisingly hard on the teeth, although I've had no problems before with the usual drugstore brands, fashion brands, and SuperFloss. Unfortunately too much trouble to use. Back to needle threaders and regular thread or superfloss in a pinch. EDIT: I found a pointed nub where the threads break off the meshโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • faded

Time saver and cheap price for the number of floss in the package.

Great product I really enjoy flossing! I just got braces and have never flossed before and with braces you have to be careful with your hygiene. I struggled with flossing with regular floss and just hated it. But after seeing this floss in a video posted by a dentist I had to try it. You save me a lot of time too. I've found the other side of the floss around the braces to be too difficult to clean and I'm concerned that it will scratch the enamel. I prefer to use other softer single brushesโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • Old model
