The use of dental floss in orthodontics is one of the most important procedures that is highly emphasized. The floss is a nylon fabric that can easily remove food debris from between the teeth. To use floss during the period of orthodontics, follow the steps and instructions below.
First: Pass the end of the floss firmly and straight from the bottom between the teeth.
Second: Move the end of the floss slowly between two teeth in a C-shaped motion, then pull it up and down on the inner wall of the tooth.
Repeat this flossing action several times to completely remove material and debris from between the teeth and around the orthodontic brackets. For other teeth without brackets, you can floss normally. Try to do this carefully and accurately because otherwise you may cause the orthotics to move.
