Braces and Flossing
Braces and flossing not so easily done.
I have had braces now for about a year with at least another year to go. I just got back from my dentist that say I have the starting of gingivitis in the back of my mouth by my molars. She says I am not flossing good enough. I am tyring but it is very hard to floss in the back with braces on. Does anyone know a special trick for flossing your teeth when you have braces.
