Is this threader floss, or regular floss?

Regular floss. It is thin but strong. You need a separate floss threader loop. This is what works best for my dc. We tried pretty much every threader floss and this is what works. My dc is used to it now and gets the flossing done fairly quickly now.

^^my dc uses it with a floss threader loop, because all the threaded flosses we tried were too thick or frayed.

I use the Equate (Walmart store brand) glide floss and it works for me, but I do not have braces. Can your orthodontist suggest a floss?

GUM EEZ-Thru Floss Threaders and floss. Glide floss has gone to crap.

We ran into this too. I found a Crest threader floss on ebay that is good. I've not seen it in stores.

My son uses the Platypus flossers with his braces.

I use super floss- but just for the retainer. Otherwise I use regular floss.

I started using GUM professional clean floss picks and it’s been working.

Oral-B used to make one w/ Glide, but it got discontinued and replaced by something far far worse.

If you have braces or a "bar" behind your teeth, what threader floss do you use to get under the gear?
