Re: Oral B Superfloss...horrible!
Gotta update my review and saw this worked GREAT after i developed some bigger spaces between my teeth due to my braces and having a RPE shifting my teeth around. They have since shifted back to tighter spaces as they straightened out but for a month there i was really glad i didn't throw this floss again.
Re: Oral B Superfloss...horrible!
I hate hate HATE the Oral-B Super Floss...it's cheap-feeling and it shreds ALL THE TIME. I *LOVE* the Crest Glide Threader Floss, though...it's the best!

FYI, a similar product to SuperFloss is Thornton 3-in-1 Floss, which is available at DentaKit.com:

Re: Oral B Superfloss...horrible!
that oral b superfloss is the one i have
and it SUCKS. it doesnt fit properly between most of my teeth and if it does it is tight and gets stuck and hurts like hell. I think as soon as i have money i will use that site to order the crest glide one, then maybe this flossing novice will have more success

HEY
You can always use the blue floss threaders and thread the floss like its thread going into a needle and pull it under your wire pull out the blue thing while the floss is still in your teeth and just floss regularly.
WAYYYY better than superfloss that way there you can use small floss/regular floss and it will fit its even fit in my crowded teeth.

SuperFloss is made for people with gaps and large spaces between their teeth.
If you don't have gaps or large spaces, you will not like the product.
Instead, try Glide Threader Floss, SturdyFloss, or use any floss you like with a floss threader needle or the FlossFish tool.

I only don't like superfloss because it shreds in the braces the spacing isn't an issue.bbsadmin wrote:SuperFloss is made for people with gaps and large spaces between their teeth.

I've always wanted the FlossFish where can you buy that?

Re: Oral B Superfloss...horrible!
Wow, I'm glad I came upon this thread. My son is new to braces and was recommended the Super Floss by the ortho office. I will definitely avoid it and look for the other ones mentioned.
