Question

Answer 1

HELLO,
YES IT IS! A WATERPIK MACHINE PULSATES A JET STREAM OF WATER ALL WHERE YOU AIM IT AND MAKES KEEPING BRACES CLEAN A CINCH. ONCE YOU START USING IT EVERYONE ELSE IN THE FAMILY WILL BENEFIT BY USING IT.

Answer 2

When you have braces you cant floss with normal floss because the wire does not allow you to take the floss between the teeth.
Waterpik (comes in battery operated or chargeable form) is a electric flossing system that can be used to solve this problem. (It can even be used by those without braces).
It is a device with replaceable rubber tips that vibrate when the machine is on. The tip is inserted between the two teeth just below the gums. This is a small triangular area bounded by the two teeth and gums. The waterpik cleans this area. Now i come to the main disadvantage of the waterpik, IT IS NOT A PERMANENT SUBSTITUTE TO REGULAR FLOSSING. In regular flossing you clean the sides of both teeth from the biting edge all the way to the gums. The waterpik only cleans the triangular area i mentioned which has the most food debris but it cannot be used for the space between the teeth.

Yes! They are awesome - even for people without braces. It works so much better than flossing. My mother-in-law has one and loves hers. I've tried one too and I really liked how clean it made in-between my teeth feel.

Do NOT use that thing. It squirts ALL OVER THE PLACE. My mom killed me because it made such a mess. Just thread the floss under the wire. It's A LOT easier.
