expalin me in detail how to use floss thread or glide floss picks? plllllzzz?

Answer 1

I answered that in the last question, here it is again.

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.

I don't think with your crowding that the threaded floss or picks will help, but you can try. A water pik, may be good as long as you aren't pushing bacteria under the tissue creating a bigger problem. Talk to your dentist about it.

Answer 2

Make sure you position the floss so that you use it to clean up under the gums of each tooth face. That's the real purpose of dental floss, no matter what type you use.
