Braces and flossing

Question

XD so my brackets fixed..yay.

but i just have one more question. Why does flossing hurt? Yeah i try to floss, and its just very painful, i feel like each tooth is about to fall off. any alternatives?

Answer 1

well has it hurt b4? flossin never hurt my teeth. did u like just go to the orthodontist? it might be because of the tightnes.

Answer 2

Just keep flossing and it will get easier with time. Your gums are still sensitive from the tightness that is now applied /or re applied to your teeth. Using a good mouth wash can help with your gums along with continuing to floss.

It will be  a couple days.

Answer 3

You could be using too much pressure or your gums might not be use to it.

If your gums are healthy you shouldn't feel any pain.

I would suggest asking your dentist or hygienist.

For braces try the Platypus Ortho Flosser.

It's simple and easy to use.

A BETTER WAY IS TO USE A WATERPIK THAN FLOSSING
