how to use floss thread in teeth?

Question

my teeths are arranged one over other and how can i use floss thread? pl help me

Answer 1

I think what your saying is your teeth overlap each other making it difficult to get the floss in. When the teeth are crowded and malaligned, it is hard to floss, probably hardest just getting the floss in between the teeth. It is also easy for food and plaque to form and stick there too. You'll have to position the floss so that it will slide down the tooth on one side without causing damage to the embrasure, the tissue in between the teeth. When you slide the floss in between the teeth, or really just on one side of a tooth, you may have to use a sawing motion to get it to go through. Once in, position the floss around the tooth making a C shape on one side, then sliding up and down, removing the plaque. Then do the same with a reverse C on the other side of the tooth next to it before removing the floss and going to the next tooth. If you can't get the floss through, you may need to try a different type, one that is flat is glide, "tape floss" or "satin" but always use one that's waxed. Hope I've been of some help.

Answer 2

The only floss that will work for tightly overlapping teeth is Glide. It's made from parachute material so it doesn't fray or break and it literally glides between tightly positioned teeth without too much effort. It comes in regular floss packaging, but it also comes in those already threaded single use "pick" type flosses which come 50 in a bag. Without a doubt your flossing nightmares are over and you can floss with ease once and for all.

Answer 3

You can buy the ultra thin floss. It is much easier than your normal floss. I would also recommend a water pic. It really can get between teeth, even in your case.

Answer 4

There is something else you can use instead of floss.There a called Glide Floss Picks.Much easer to use to You can buy them at any Chemist .Give it a try

Answer 5

You should just go to the dentist . And tell him or her about your problem when your in for the check up . I had a check up . And she showed me how to do it. Because some of my teeth were over crowed .

Answer 6

buy a tool from your drugsore,,tell them u need something to put your floss on to floss your teeth

Answer 7

for a start, use denatl TAPE not denatl floss.I find the best one that glides is Sainsbury's dental tape.
Also, if you go to the dental section in (large)Boots (as they'd have a better range), or some supermarkets, they have a range of products you might find helpful.
If you have a dentist, even better to ask him/her.

Answer 8

Just use them for white shoelaces.

Answer 9
