Such tools help people who have trouble using regular floss but want to pay attention to their interdental spaces. These are standard brushes, which will last up to a week if used correctly. But the smaller sizes are prone to bending with use so can often only be used a couple of times.

When you have braces, it’s more important than ever to keep your teeth and oral appliances clean so you can avoid discolored spots, which will be visible when the braces finally come off. It comes as 50m spools in a plastic container with a built in metal floss cutter. This plastic container is pp (polypropylene, plastic number 5) so should be recyclable when you are finished with it.That said, Georganics made it to the top of the list as it is reasonably affordable and widely available. It is a bio-based plastic, made from corn based PLA and coated in “vegetable wax”. There is the option for orange flavoured or spearmint flavouring.

They are quite thin, which may be difficult for some people to grip, but which are easy to rotate. Their disposal advice: “After use, the HYDROPHIL Interdental Brushes are disposed of in the residual waste. Unfortunately, for reasons of hygiene, it is not yet possible to dispose of the bamboo handle as organic waste.” They don’t give any explanation for this, but so long as the wire and bristles are removed, the handle is compostable with garden waste or on a home composting pile.It seems to be made of single filament PTFE ( I am awaiting confirmation from Oral-B about this). It is 40m long, which is longer than the Satin tape (which is 25m). In the sections below I’ve included the answers to common questions about the different flossing tools and methods.

A threader for dental floss is a fine handle in the shape of a sewing needle. It has an eye for fitting floss through. Flavor: Everyone's preferences are different in terms of flavor. We considered whether the flavor is overpowering or subtle, whether it is minty or offers a different taste, and whether or not it leaves an unsavory aftertaste.

Using lengths of floss and tape is the traditional method of cleaning between teeth and along the gum line and is ideal for smaller gaps between teeth.

As a company, their focus is on water consumption, and this product is water neutral. 10% of their profits go directly to the charity Viva con Agua de Sankt Pauli.

Ease of use: You need to consider your mouth's needs when looking at floss -- like if you have braces, wide gaps, close or crowded teeth, etc. Daniel Reich, DMD, recommends that people use floss best suited for their teeth. Should your teeth be closer together, it's better to use a thinner floss whereas if you have larger spaces, dental tape may be the better option. Water flossers would be the best option for people with braces.Many people have called for Oral-B to make refillable options, as the casing can easily be taken apart at home, and this would be a great improvement. While there is no suggestion that flossing can be damaging to oral health, there is limited evidence as to its effectiveness. If you are flossing, and flossing well, it will cause no harm and it is probably not advisable to give up but you might want to try interdental brushes as an alternative.” What is the evidence for and against interdental brushes?
