The best way to floss your teeth when you have braces is to use an orthodontic floss threader to thread the floss underneath the wire. Superfloss which is floss with a stiff end can also be used.

When you need to have braces on your teeth, the Orthodontist may also want to go ahead and recommend expanders. Several times, Braces and Expanders go hand in hand and they are included in the braces treatment. What you do need to do is to ask your Orthodontist about any clarifications for the same.
The expanders are usually used to go ahead and expand the jaw so that there won’t be any overcrowding of the teeth and this will lead to the teeth being able to be straightened out. The expanders might seem a wee bit cumbersome but they are the things that are needed to ensure that the Orthodontic treatment is a great success.
