I have braces and I can't floss the back of my teeth?!

When I had braces my ortho gave me these plastic things that had a loop on one end and a strate portion on the other. Kinda like an over sized plastic flexible needle. I would thread regular floss through the eye hole.

The plastic "sewing needle" then could be pushed in between gums and braces being thread very easily.

Forgot the actual name of the item; but just go the the dental section of the store.Health Question & Answer

You should have been provided some floss threaders when you got your braces.That's really the ideal way. But you should be able to still floss the back teeth like normal. Ask your orthodontic assistant to show you at your next visit. Health Question & Answer
