I received a sample of this product for review purposes. All opinions expressed are my own.
Tyler has been wearing braces for about a year and a half now. He is so looking forward to getting them off in August. I’ve seen people with braces but I never knew the care that went into them until Tyler got his. It is very important that they are looked after at all times to make sure they are doing what they are supposed to. If your child is the same and you think they need braces, then you are going to want to arrange an appointment with your dentist if you have one. If not, you can check out some Milwaukee Orthodontics Services or services within your local area, so you get them seen as quickly as possible.
A lot of Tyler’s favorite foods are on the list of things that he can’t have because they damage his braces. He has gotten used that over time. He can now tell people without checking the list what he can and cannot have. The part that he hates the most though is having to floss his teeth. It is a rather time-consuming task that he does simply because it keeps his teeth healthy. It is more difficult with his braces. As wearing braces tends to come up with a lot of food restrictions, it might be imperative to look for other options that can replace the need for braces. One such option could be the use of Invisalign (if interested, have a look at Lincoln NE invisalign orthodontist) for the alignment of the teeth. As compared to braces, Invisalign seems to be more convenient to wear, and it is transparent too. Such an option can be utilized by parents as I’ve seen a lot of kids become quite self-conscious about their appearance after wearing braces.
That’s why many people currently opt for an Invisalign treatment for the same reason. Since the cost of Invisalign or wearing braces are nearly identical, people may prefer an option that isn’t visible to wearing metal braces on their teeth. Anyway, Tyler has to thread the floss through his braces and make sure he gets all the food between his teeth out. Although Tyler was doing this the orthodontist would tell him he needed to do a better job flossing.
Well last week Tyler got his best orthodontist exam ever. She told him that he had been doing a great job flossing. She told me that usually when she checked his teeth there would be some bleeding but not this time. I think that it was all thanks to us switching to Plackers Orthopick Flossers. These flossers are made specifically for people with braces. Instead of having to thread the floss between your braces you simply slip the flosser between your teeth and braces. It easily slips behind your braces. No more time consuming threading. You are also able to clean between your teeth . Tyler loved these so much that he was disappointed when he ran out.
Plackers Orthopick Flossers can be ordered off the Plackers website. They can also be found in some stores like Walgreens. If you have braces I highly recommend giving these a try.
My daughter is 9 and she is dying for braces. When did wearing braces become the “cool” thing to do
I have no idea. Ha ha ha! She is the first one I’ve heard of actually wanting to get them. I used to want glasses cause my brother was wearing them
I remember the hassle of flossing when I was younger and had metallic braces. As an adult, I had to get braces again (thank God for Invisalign) because I didn’t wear my retainer. I wish I’d known about this flosser when I wore braces.
My son is counting down to when he can get his off.
My kids love using these to floss there teeth. Easier for them than the normal dental floss
I totally agree. They are amazing.
Good braces tip! I had braces when I was your sons age and was horrible about remembering to floss!
Ha ha ha! He is the same way. He is remembering better with these though.
I love dental flossers. They are definitely much easier than using regular floss. I’m too uncoordinated for all of that, lol. I will keep these in mind for my 8-year-old son who will be needing braces.
They are definitely much easier to use. I hope you remember them.
Oh how things have changed! When I had braces there was nothing like this, I’m so glad dental care is evolving so much.
Me too. He is so much happier with these.
Dental flossers are awesome. They are much easier than using regular floss and a perfect solution for kids with braces.
