With a toothbrush you can only reach about 70% of the tooth surface. The space between the teeth (interdental space) cannot be completely grasped by it. For an optimal result of oral hygiene, the interdental spaces should therefore also be cleaned with dental floss. This removes plaque and food particles between the teeth and thus prevents caries between the teeth and gum disease. Procedure: The dental floss is looped C-shaped around the tooth. With upward and downward movements, the tooth is carefully cleaned. This dental care is best done twice a day. The best time is just after eating and before bed. Thus, bacteria hardly have a chance to spread.
The super floss or superfloss dental floss is particularly suitable for cleaning braces, implants and bridges. It has a reinforced beginning at the threading aid, as well as a fluffy middle area and is therefore optimal for the needs of orthodontic patients.
