Plackers Orthopick Dental Floss Picks for Braces, Made with Super TufFloss, Soft, Flexible Toothpick, Gentle on Braces, Orange, 144 Count, (Pack of 4)

I would prefer this than the Platypus floss since they are smaller and like the regular placker floss. They have a packable floss case but only fit 1 or 2 ortho floss. If you dont want the platypus just choose this one the durability of the string is better than the Platypus.

Forget threading actual floss under the wires, get these instead!! And all the other floss picks on the market dont fit under the braces wires, but these do! I hate using disposable single use stuff like this but while I have braces , this is really a fantastic option for dental hygiene. I even use them 2 or 3 times - they are durable - just rinse them off in between uses.

I have braces and have been using these floss picks for about a year. They make flossing with braces so simple and easy. I will note however that there’s a design flaw. The floss string is knotted at the end to keep it suspended in the pick. This knot sometimes gets stuck on my wires and prevents the floss from reaching all the way down into my gums. Other than that, I love these picks and recommend them.

So I got braces this year and was struggling with food getting stuck in-between the brackets and under the wires. It was especially embarrassing when out at dinner (Id whip out my phone, open Snapchat, and use the selfie with the huge mouth filter to see the junk in my teeth)… but I digress. Someone told me about these and I thought Id give them a shot. I ordered the four pack figuring I could return them if they didnt work. If you dont know how they work, watch the videos online... basically one of the sides that holds the floss is super narrow - allowing it to fit underneath the wire. VIOLA! You can easily and quickly floss your teeth. Previously I was using threader floss but it took a lot of time. With these, I can easily floss three times a day - every time I eat. They also have a nice orange soft-tip (you fold-down the white plastic portion) that you can use to push out food that is stuck. I keep a bag in my purse, one in my glovebox, and two at home. If you have braces or know someone who does - get them these! They will thank you profusely not only for the gift of oral hygiene but also for not having to use Snapchat to search for food in their teeth! :)

These picks were recommended by my husband’s orthodontist. They work very well in getting food out of his braces. They don’t damage the braces.

Works great, no bad sticks yet and Ive been ordering consistently for half a year!

Flossing is so annoying, but I have a much easier time getting my daughter to do it with these.

I bought these with the hopes of saving money. Theyre twice as thicker than the Platypus ones, so they dont go beneath the wires easily or not at all. Itd be even dangerous to a point as to break off a bracket if not careful. I had to return them.
