UFloss: The Ultimate Solution for Flossing with Braces

When you embark on the journey of perfecting your smile with braces, you're making an investment in your dental health and overall confidence. However, keeping those pearly whites healthy and shining during orthodontic treatment doesn’t come without challenges. Perhaps the most common of those challenges is proper flossing. In this article, we'll explore the ins and outs of dental hygiene, and how UFloss will become your best tool for flossing with braces. 

The Challenge of Flossing with Braces

Let’s face it; flossing with braces isn’t the most enjoyable activity. Traditional string floss is effective in cleaning between teeth, but requires the added use of floss threaders, which are terribly annoying and drastically time-consuming. This extra step, more often than not, leads to altogether skipping the crucial act of flossing. However, the wires and brackets in your mouth aren't going anywhere, and if you don't floss, neither are the food particles and plaque, snugly nestled in the nooks and crannies of your braces. Brushing alone won’t cut it – that’s just a fact. And ignoring these spaces can lead to gum disease, cavities and other oral health issues that nobody wants to deal with. Worse yet, these oral health issues are tied to serious systemic diseases. So, what's one to do?

The Consequences of Neglecting Flossing with Braces

Skipping flossing during orthodontic treatment is a risky venture. The consequences of neglecting your oral hygiene can be severe, including gum inflammation, cavities and prolonged treatment times. And time is not your friend when gambling with oral neglect. Left unattended, the plaque that builds on your teeth and gums will harden into tartar, which cannot be removed without the aid of a dental professional. 

* It is not recommended to attempt to remove tartar on your own using a professional dental tartar scraper tool! You can cause serious harm to your tooth enamel and gums!

This plaque and tartar harbor bacteria that not only provide you with some seriously bad breath (a.k.a. halitosis), but can find their way into your bloodstream and organs, such as the liver, kidneys and, perhaps worst of all, the heart. As we mentioned at the beginning of this article, your oral health is inextricably tied to your overall well-being

How to Use UFloss

Although we encourage you to learn all you can about UFloss, using this exciting product is an incredibly straightforward process:

  1. Thread It: Gently insert UFloss between your wires and brackets.
  2. Slide and Clean: Glide UFloss back and forth to remove food particles and plaque. The micro-cratered surface does most of the work for you!
  3. Brush: Brush your teeth to remove any remaining food particles, plaque, and bacteria, ensuring a fresh and clean mouth

Although there’s been great debate about it over the years, remember to floss before you brush!

With UFloss, you'll be able to maintain your dental hygiene without the frustrations associated with traditional flossing methods!
