How to floss with braces, from Marble Hill Orthodontics



Flossing is essential to proper oral health, even more so when you have braces- just ask our team at Marble Hill Orthodontics! Here is a very concise video explaining the proper way to floss your teeth. Floss threaders can be a helpful tool for flossing those hard to reach spots where floss doesn't easily bend under the arch wire. Many people think that flossing is only to get the food out from in between your teeth, when actually flossing should be done every day on every tooth to help protect your teeth and gums.

Happy flossing!
