There are different types of dental floss that can be used depending on the needs of the patient. The most common type of dental floss is regular multifilament floss, which is impregnated with wax, fluoride, and aromatics. Strip dental floss is another type of dental floss that is wider and has a more surface contact with the teeth.
Most orthodontists prescribe SuperFlass, also known as orthodontic floss, to their patients. This type of dental floss consists of three parts: the plastic part that can easily pass under the orthodontic wires, the bulky and multi-filament part that touches the teeth and the orthodontic device and cleans them well, and the long part that looks like regular dental floss. This type of dental floss is often used with a dental floss passage guide to make it easier to use.
