I watched the video, "Smart Alternative to Flossing Braces". Of course we all know that the WaterPik can't replace flossing, but that woman looks SO much more attractive using the WaterPik than I do! I know I look like a hawt mess trying to maneuver that thing around my mouth... a total train wreck!

I'm glad I'm not the only one! One time, I was repositioning and I accidentally squirted my cat ... she bolted and I died laughing!

Ha ha! I can relate to the Water Pik problem. I always have a spray of water down the front of my shirt after each session. I must pull it out of my mouth too soon, and I can't seem to cure myself of this habit.

And thanks for the interesting link, VA5!

Thanks VA5. Got to say, I use a waterpik here (its not a popular well known product in the UK) - its so unpopular that when I asked one of the orthodontic nurses whether they recommended them, she didn't know what I was talking about.

Very interesting website. Thanks!

I have a waterpik attached to my shower head that I use every morning. I never floss either, and so far my gums seem to be perfectly healthy. Haven't really had any comment from ortho or dentist yet so I can't say for sure.
